What is VPK?
VPK stands for the Voluntary Prekindergarten Education Program.
If you live in Florida, and your child turns 4 four years of age by
September 1, your child is eligible to participate in Florida's FREE
Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK) education program.
Benefits of early education and the VPK program
* The most important growth and development in the brain happens by the age of five.
* The early years are the learning years. A child’s ability to be attentive and to follow directions emerges in
the early years. Structured early learning fosters these abilities for later success in school and in life.
* Pre-K prepares children to be ready for school. Children who participate in high-quality early childhood
education programs develop better language skills, score higher in school-readiness tests and have better
social skills and fewer behavioral problems once they enter school. They are also better prepared for
Kindergarten, especially in the areas of pre-reading, pre-math and social skills.
* Pre-K promotes a love of learning in children. Pre-K enhances what a child learns at home and instills a
love of life-long learning.
