FORT MYERS, Fla. - Floridant -- Registration for Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK) is now open for the 2023-2024 school year in Lee, Collier, Hendry and Glades Counties. The free educational program is available to 4-year-olds that reside in Florida, regardless of family income.
Voluntary Prekindergarten is designed to give children a jump-start for school by incorporating early literacy and math, language and social skills. VPK classrooms are taught by highly qualified teachers with a focus on school readiness and social and emotional well-being. By developing the early skills children need to become strong students, they are more likely to be successful in school.
To be eligible, children must live in Florida and be four years old on or before Sept. 1 of the current school year. Through the Early Learning Coalition of SWFL, parents can register their qualifying child to attend 540 hours of preschool during the regular school year, or 300 hours of summertime preschool. In 2021-2022, Early Learning Coalition reported 7,464 children attended 260 different VPK programs in Lee, Collier, Hendry and Glades Counties.
