  • VPK stands for the Voluntary Prekindergarten Education Program.
    If you live in Florida, and your child turns four years of age on or by September 1st,
    your child is eligible to participate in Florida's FREE Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK). 


    A state law effective July 1, 2016, extends VPK eligibility for 4-year-olds
    with birthdays from February 2nd through September 1st in a calendar year.
    If a child's birthday falls between these dates, parents may postpone enrolling
    their child in VPK until the following year when the child is 5-years-old.
    The extension is intended to allow parents of younger 4-year-olds to postpone
    the year their child begins VPK, in turn enabling the child to begin
    kindergarten and first grade as a slightly older, more mature student.
    Children may participate in the VPK program one time only.
