VPK & Pre-K Program
Thoughtfully designed to prepare your child for success in Kindergarten and beyond!
At Kids ‘R’ Kids Waterford Lakes, our VPK and Pre-K program is a launchpad for learning, confidence, and connection throughout your child’s entire educational journey. Our dedicated and caring staff is here to give your child the strongest start possible. What’s better? While they’re building these important foundational skills, they’ll also be making friendships and memories that can last a lifetime.
What is VPK?
VPK stands for Voluntary Prekindergarten, a free educational program for 4-year-olds in Florida. The goal is to offer a high-quality, age-appropriate curriculum in a warm, nurturing environment. Class sizes are intentionally small with either 11 students with one instructor or 20 students with both an instructor and an assistant. This means your child gets the personal attention they need to thrive.
At Kids ‘R’ Kids Waterford Lakes, we follow a well-rounded curriculum that includes early literacy and math, but we don’t stop there. Our program supports cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development, helping each child grow into a confident, curious learner. We follow research-backed principles to deliver the most high quality program for our students.
Why Enroll?
Early education matters more than one might think at 4 years old. Research shows that children who attend a quality Pre-K program like VPK are more likely to succeed in later grades, take advanced courses, and graduate on time. At the same time, the program offers important social and emotional benefits. Our students learn to share, express themselves, problem-solve, and build relationships. These are the building blocks for both classroom and life success.
