VPK Round Up

The Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK) program is free for all four-year-olds born on or before September 1st who reside in the State of Florida.


VPK Round Up Events are first come, first serve walk-in registration days. Parents do not need to make an  appointment and will leave with a VPK voucher. In order
to register, parents must bring proof of the child’s age in the form of an original birth certificate and proof of Florida residency such as valid Florida driver’s license, current utility bill or current signed lease.


School doesn’t start in kindergarten anymore, it starts in VPK! This program is designed to prepare every four-year-old for kindergarten and build the foundation for their educational success. VPK gives each child an opportunity to learn basic skills in quality early educational settings that offer high literacy standards, age appropriate curriculum, manageable class sizes and qualified teachers.
