School Readiness Program

School readiness begins long before children enter prekindergarten. Early experiences play a key role in preparing children for success in school by supporting their cognitive, social, and emotional development.

Florida’s School Readiness (SR) Program provides financial assistance to eligible low-income families for early education and childcare. This support helps parents work or pursue education while ensuring their children receive high-quality care and are better prepared for school.

Services are tailored to each family’s needs and may include extended daycare, after-school programs, and care for school-age children.

What is School Readiness?

To qualify for the School Readiness Program, families must meet the following requirements:

Parent(s) or guardian(s) must be working or enrolled in an educational program (college, university, or trade school) for at least 20 hours per week
Household income must be at or below 150% of the federal poverty level (based on family size)
Families are required to pay a co-payment for childcare, determined by income and family size
