Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK) is a free program designed to prepare four-year-old children for kindergarten and build the foundation for their educational success. VPK is available to all four-year-olds that reside in Florida, regardless of family income.

VPK provides an early childhood educational experience that supports the development of early literacy, pre-math skills, scientific thinking, and social and emotional development. There are eight domains of development that are included in the VPK Education Standards.

When a student successfully completes the VPK program, they are more ready for kindergarten than children who do not attend VPK. Give your child the best head start at school!
