VPK (Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten for 4-year-olds)

VPK gives 4-year-olds a jumpstart by preparing them for school and enhancing their pre-reading, pre-math, language, and social skills. By developing the skills they need to become strong readers and students at an early age, children are more likely to be successful in school. VPK classrooms offer quality programs that include high literacy standards, developmentally appropriate curriculum, small class sizes, and qualified teachers. Florida State Voucher Accepted.
