We exist because
families couldn't wait.
In Florida, families seeking pediatric developmental and behavioral health care face average waitlists of 6 to 12 months — while qualified providers in the same communities have open availability. That gap is what Aldea was built to close.
We connect families to a growing network of trusted pediatric care providers across Florida, making it simple to search, verify insurance, and book care in one place — in English or Spanish.
Whether your child needs an evaluation, ongoing therapy, or specialized support, Aldea helps families move forward quickly and with confidence.
What makes Aldea different
No waitlists
We match families to providers with real, current availability — so children get the support they need when they need it most.
Bilingual by design
Aldea is fully available in English and Spanish — because language should never stand between a family and the care their child deserves.
Insurance made simple
We work with commercial insurance families and make private-pay options clear — no surprises, no confusion at the point of booking.
Care that grows with your child
From initial evaluation to ongoing support, Aldea is with families at every stage of their child's developmental and wellness journey.
Founded by clinicians, built for families.
The Aldea team brings together clinical expertise and operational experience to solve a problem we lived firsthand.
