A constitutional amendment passed by Florida’s voters in November 2002 requires a voluntary prekindergarten program for all four year-old children by fall 2005. The program is designed to prepare four-year-old children for kindergarten and build the foundations for their educational success and is provided at no cost to the parent. The program is voluntary for children and providers.

To be eligible, children must be four years old on or before September 1st and must reside in the State of Florida. Parents may choose between a 540 hour school year program and a 300 hour summer program. VPK is offered by a variety of public and private providers throughout Palm Beach County.
