Early learning programs provide the foundation children need to be successful, life-long learners.Voluntary Prekindergarten is free for all 4-year-olds (and some 5-year-olds) that reside in Florida. VPK provides the self-management and emergent literacy skills that are critical for a child’s academic success. VPK provides a quality early learning experience at participating private and faith-based child care centers, many public schools, Head Start sites, as well as licensed family child care homes. Children are taught emergent literacy skills, such as letter and sound recognition, which are critical for academic success. Each child has access to qualified instructors and age-appropriate curricula.
