Free VPK hours (Voluntary Prekindergarten)

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

Common questions

The answers people ask us for most often.

How do I contact a provider I found here?

In most cases the provider’s direct number is included in their listing. When it is not, we list the number of the Child Care Licensing Program — you may call that number for more information, or search for the provider online.

Will ChildcareCenter pass a message on to a provider for me?

No. ChildcareCenter only provides information, so enrolment questions, tuition questions and job enquiries need to go to the provider directly using the contact details on their listing. We cannot forward them and we cannot share contact details a provider has not published.

I run a daycare — how do I correct or remove my listing?

Use suggest an update on your listing to correct any detail, or claim the listing to manage it yourself. If you have closed or no longer provide care, contact us and we will update the listing to show that.
