Kids Incorporated operates 6 Early Head Start centers: three in Leon County, one in Jefferson County, and two in Madison County. These centers include:
Brandon's Place at Phone: 850-973-4243

Brandon's Place at Lincoln is located in the City of Tallahassee's Lincoln Neighborhood Center in the Frenchtown community. The center was named in 2002 for the late Brandon Moeller, a six year old Tallahassee boy who was killed in an accident. Brandon's family, Cheryl and Richard Moeller, established the Brandon Moeller Memorial Fund with the Community Foundation of North Florida and adopted the then-preschool as a way to help other children - something Brandon enjoyed doing in his short life. The center was converted from a pre-school program in 2004 to serve infants and toddlers when Kids Incorporated expanded the EHS program to Leon County.
The center serves 32 children from ages 6 weeks to 3 years old and is nationally accredited by NAEYC.
