This educational program was designed to prepare young children for success in kindergarten and the educational school years beyond. We have often touched on the importance of early childhood education and the success it offers for children. This free program is a great way to get all of the benefits of early education and social interaction before your child heads into kindergarten.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Benefits of the VPK program<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A child\u2019s ability to be attentive and follow directions emerges in the early years. Structured learning, such as the VPK program, fosters the ability for later success in both school and in life.<\/li>\n<li>Children who participate in high-quality early educational programs develop better language skills, score higher on the School Readiness test, and often have better social skills and fewer behavioral problems once they enter school.<\/li>\n<li>Sending your child to pre-k will promote a lifetime love of learning. By enhancing what a child already learned at home and instilling fun and exciting new ways of learning, VPK makes education entertaining.<\/li>\n<li>Research has shown that 90% of the core brain structure is formed within the first 5 years of life. Attending a high-quality Early Education Program will help develop enhanced language skills, common math skills, and early reading skills so children are better prepared for kindergarten.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Parents are able to choose the school where their child will attend a VPK program. As you weigh the choices between a public VPK &amp; certified private VPK provider, there&#8217;s many options to consider.
