Florida is committed to its future – your children! The state\u2019s Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten<\/a> (VPK) program is free, not income-based, and gives all children the opportunity to experience early education by enrolling in a qualified center. VPK provides children a top-quality early learning experience at participating private and faith-based child care centers, many public schools, and Head Start sites, as well as licensed family child care homes.<\/p>\n

Florida residents can enroll their 4 year old children in the center of their choice in either a school year program with 540 instructional hours or a summer program that includes 300 instructional hours. All VPK programs are required to maintain a ratio of no more than 11 students per teacher. This means every child will get an appropriate level of one-on-one time to encourage social & academic development. Children with special needs receive Specialized Instructional Services in a smaller group setting, which is a bonus.<\/p>\n

What Will They Learn?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The VPK program<\/a> is not glorified babysitting! This incredible program features curriculum that helps develop academics, social skills, communication skills, and foster independence. Students are provided access to qualified instructors and age-appropriate curriculum that focuses on early literacy skills. VPK is a structured learning environment that benefits your child by increasing his or her attention span as well as the ability to follow directions. It makes for a great transition into the more formal setting of kindergarten.<\/p>\n
