What is Voluntary Prekindergarten?

Voluntary prekindergarten (VPK) is a state program designed to prepare every child in Florida for kindergarten and build the foundation for their educational success.

Learn. Play. Grow.

About Voluntary Prekindergarten

VPK gives each child an opportunity to perform better in school and throughout life with quality programs that include high literacy standards, accountability, appropriate curricula, substantial instruction periods, lower class sizes and qualified instructors. All eligible children are entitled to participate in one of three VPK program options. The VPK mission is to ensure that all children are intellectually, socially, emotionally and physically ready to enter school and ready to learn, fully recognizing the crucial role of parents as their child’s first teacher.

Choosing the right preschool is key to shaping your child’s academic future. We ensure your child is ready for kindergarten while having a blast along the way! Our play-based curriculum sets them up for long-term success. We're committed to helping your child grow into an independent and confident member of the community.

STILL LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT SCHOOL?

Learn what makes a school perfect for you by looking at these five things.

Children need to understand the rules and know what to expect. Whether the daily schedule is flexible and open or structured and planned, the best classrooms clearly communicate expectations to everyone.

Children come to school to learn, and the most effective way for them to learn is through play! Every classroom activity or teacher-led lesson needs to be engaging to capture a child’s interest. In preschool, where attention spans can be brief, offering a diverse range of activities is crucial.

A teacher’s role is to assess a child's developmental stage and guide them along their learning journey. By asking open-ended, thoughtful questions, teachers encourage children to reflect on their actions and deepen their understanding. The conversations we have with children are just as vital to their growth as the activities they engage in.

Teachers are responsible for the physical, social, and emotional well-being of their students. Whether it’s offering a comforting hug when a child is sad, providing a snack when they’re hungry, giving advice to solve a problem, or assisting in the bathroom, a teacher’s role is to be there and respond with care whenever needed.
