Florida DCF / Division of Early Learning (CARES provider search), as of Sep 2026.

Taking part in a program does not mean a place is open. Call the provider to ask about current availability.

VPK: who qualifies and how to apply

Who qualifies: A child who resides in Florida and will have attained the age of 4 years on or before 1 September is eligible during that school year or the following one. The eligibility section sets no income requirement. Eligibility ends when the child is admitted to kindergarten, or on reaching age 6 by 1 February.

Cost: The state pays for the VPK programme itself; the family portal describes VPK as a free educational program for 4-year-olds. A school-year programme delivered by a private provider must comprise at least 540 instructional hours. The sources reviewed do not address what a provider may charge for care outside the VPK hours, so ask your provider about any wraparound care.

Places: Being eligible does not guarantee a place. Public schools must admit all eligible children who apply to a summer programme, but school districts may limit the number of students admitted to a school-year programme based on available space.

How to apply: Apply to your early learning coalition through the state's single point of entry, the Early Learning Family Portal. Applicants in Lake County are directed to a separate application system. Apply with Early learning coalitions, under rules set by the State Board of Education

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

Worst. Experience. Ever.
Owners and administration are all family members who protect their own interests rather than students and families .
They don’t pay any attention to bullying situations or any complains.
They just care about money and they’ll get it from you any way possible.
They’re high school is not certified , your kid will have to go through a lot of tests to be admitted in college .
It is a shame from people who called themselves Christians .

About the Provider

Deltona Christian School began as a vision of Pastor and Mrs. Donald Herchenroder. After seeing the need for a school where students could receive a quality education in a Christian atmosphere, they began praying about it. It was brought before the deacons and the church and with the Lord’s leadership, the church voted on July 14, 1974 to begin the school.

Classes began September 3, 1974 with 19 students in the kindergarten through fourth grades. Fifth grade was added after Christmas break.

Upon Pastor Donald Herchenroder’s retirement in 1997, the church elected the assistant pastor, Byron Herchenroder, as pastor. Under his leadership the school has continued to grow.

Deltona Christian School alumni now circle the globe as pastors, musicians, teachers, missionaries, doctors, attorneys, military personnel, and various other professions.

* To help children become aware of there need for a Savior. To help them understand that there is only one way they can have forgiveness of sins, and that is placing total dependance on Christ's finished work on the cross. To help these children become more Christ-like. To provide a quality education in a Christian environment. To encourage our students to strive for excellence in all areas of their lives. For our students to grow spiritually, socially, and academically.
