VPK Program

Florida's Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK) Education Program is a free program designed to prepare 4-year-olds for success in kindergarten and beyond. It focuses on literacy skills-building, learning materials, manageable class sizes, and qualified instructors — giving your child the foundation to become a strong reader and a successful student. 

​

To qualify, your child must be a Florida resident and turn 4 years old on or before September 1 of the current school year. The program is completely free with no income requirements or restrictions. Enrollment options include a school-year program (540 instructional hours) or a summer program (300 hours), and families can apply through the Florida Division of Early Learning Family Portal.

Families can apply online by visiting Early Learning Coalition Broward and creating a parent portal account.
 

You will need:

• Proof of Florida residency

• Proof of your child’s age

• A valid email address
   

Once approved, you will receive a Certificate of Eligibility to complete enrollment with FOR KIDS ONLY ACADEMY.
