Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten (VPK)
PARENTS: We highly encourage signing your child up for VPK sooner rather than later. These spots fill up extremely fast this time of year and we don’t want your child to miss out!
What is VPK?
The Voluntary Prekindergarten Education Program (VPK) is a free pre-kindergarten program that is offered to children residing in Florida that are between four and five years old. Children who turn four before September 1st are eligible to attend a VPK program.
At Kidstown Learning Center, we offer both a part- and full-time VPK program:
- Part-Time: This VPK program goes from 9 a.m. to 12:05 p.m. and includes lunch for your child. To enroll in our part-time program for free, simply bring in your VPK certificate.
- Full-Time: Our full-time program goes from 6:30 a.m. through 6 p.m. and includes breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack.
If you’re interested in our part- or full-time program, call us or fill out the form below to inquire about special pricing. While most schools only offer a VPK program from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m., we offer before and after school care in the VPK program so that you as a parent do not have to worry.

Our VPK Program Environment
At Kidstown Learning Center, the environment in our specially designed VPK curriculum is planned around learning activities which help to complement the theme-based coursework. This coursework helps prepare children to succeed throughout their school years. Our Kidstown teachers are well prepared to provide children with the latest requirements of the Florida Department of Education Standards.
Kidstown Learning Center performs two VPK assessments throughout the school year. These assessments help to determine the areas of strength for your child, along with the areas that are still developing. The results are discussed with the parents and together parents and teachers develop a plan to help children reach their full potential and start kindergarten confident and prepared.
Benefits of a VPK Program for Your Child
VPK is more than a program that will help your child prepare for kindergarten — although studies show that children who attend a VPK program are better prepared for kindergarten than children who did not.
When children are young, they are constantly developing skills that will help them be successful as they get older. The VPK program has been carefully designed to help your child reach (and surpass) those key developmental milestones.
Some of the benefits of a part- or full-time VPK program include:
- Self-Confidence: Children with confidence are ready to learn. In a VPK setting, your child creates a positive relationship with work and school, feeling confident in their ability to learn and explore their own curiosity.
- Language and Literacy Skills: Learning how to talk and read is a key component of your child’s developmental process. VPK helps your child grow their vocabulary and develop those skills.
- Teamwork: VPK provides a space where your child can interact, work, play, and share with peers their own age. These skills will help them when they get to school to spend all day working with their peers.
- Love of Learning: Children are most successful when they enjoy learning and school. VPK will combine curriculum with unique activities that will make learning fun.
