Free and funded programs

Free VPK hours (Voluntary Prekindergarten)
Florida DCF / Division of Early Learning (CARES provider search), as of Sep 2026.
Accepts School Readiness (child care financial assistance; a family copay may apply)
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 (opens in new tab)

School Readiness: who qualifies and how to apply
Who qualifies: Enrolment follows a statutory priority order rather than a single income cut-off. The highest priorities are children under 13 in families receiving temporary cash assistance subject to federal work requirements, and at-risk children younger than 9. Children from birth to kindergarten age in an economically disadvantaged working family come next. 'Economically disadvantaged' means a family income that does not exceed 55 percent of the state median income.
Cost: This is a subsidy, not a free programme. Coalitions must implement a parent sliding fee scale that increases in relation to family income. Coalitions may waive the copayment for at-risk children and in defined hardship circumstances, including homelessness and while a parent takes part in a Head Start or Early Head Start programme.
Places: School readiness is not an entitlement. Coalitions enrol eligible children contingent upon the availability of funds, and if funding becomes insufficient children are disenrolled in reverse priority order.
How to apply: Apply online through the Early Learning Family Portal, the same state entry point used for VPK. 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 (opens in new tab)

About the Provider

Advertisement

Our mission at Giggles Preschool and Daycare is to create a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment, rich in opportunities to explore, construct, and extend learning in all areas. It is out goal to give each child the opportunity to grow and develop socially, emotionally, intellectually and physically by providing the appropriate materials and activities.

We strive to provide not only excellent child care, but to offer children various age appropriate materials.  Each day your child will be given the use of art, music, books, language, science, blocks, puzzles, movement, dramatic play and various computer programs.

Our respect for the children will be visible in the way we talk with them, give choices in play, and offer challenging and varied learning experiences. Our program is designed to help young children develop a positive self-image, and to stimulate self-confidence and independence.

Children learn in many ways, a concept some do not understand. Children learn by exploring, touching, feeling, hands on projects and experimenting. It is important parents and teachers allow children to develop at their own pace. Through play they will begin to develop all the skills and concepts they need before entering Kindergarten while still experiencing that learning can be fun.
