VPK Program
What is Florida's Voluntary Prekindergarten Education Program (VPK)?
Florida was a trailblazer in the United States by offering free prekindergarten education to all 4-year-olds, irrespective of their family's income. The Voluntary Prekindergarten Education Program (VPK) was launched in 2005-06, and to date, over 2.6 million children have reaped the benefits of this program. Data collected by the Florida Department of Education illustrates that children who participate in VPK are notably better prepared for kindergarten compared to those who do not.

Who is Eligible for VPK?
To qualify for VPK, your child must reside in Florida and be 4 years old by or before September 1 of the ongoing school year. If your child's fourth birthday falls between February 2 and September 1 in a calendar year, you have the option to delay enrolling your child in VPK for that year and instead wait until the following year when your child turns 5.
