Florida Voluntary Pre-K (VPK)

Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK) is a free educational program that prepares 4-year-olds for success in kindergarten and beyond. 

Florida was one of the first states in the country to offer free prekindergarten for all 4-year-olds regardless of family income. 

Since the program began in 2005-06, more than 2.6 million children have benefited from the Voluntary Prekindergarten Education Program. The VPK focuses on literacy – reading and writing, and social skills, because of the VPK objective of preparing children for full-time kindergarten.

 

The program follows the Department of Education guidelines which emphasizes a focus on early literacy. The quality of education is high and enhanced by the limit of teacher to student ratio. The maximum class size is 20 children per class, and the general ratio is 1 instructor to 11 children. The Voluntary Prekindergarten Education Program — or VPK — prepares early learners for success in kindergarten and beyond. VPK helps build a strong foundation for school using educational material corresponding to various stages in a child's development.
