Florida’s FREE Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten (VPK) program is available to all of Florida’s 4 year olds*, regardless of income. Children who attend a quality pre-kindergarten program are better prepared when they enter school. The program is designed to prepare children for kindergarten and to build a foundation for educational success.

  • *FREE for all children who are 4 years old by September 1 and reside in Florida.
  • *FREE for children who turn 5 year old between February 2 through September 1 and postpone their VPK eligibility to the next program year and reside in Florida.
