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)

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

The place is great but I rate Toddler Club a 2 all thanks to the worst manager (Dahlia) I’ve ever encountered. I addressed did a situation regarding my son getting smacked in the face by another child. Instead of addressing the issue accordingly, she began to start screaming at me and making hand gestures. My son told me that another child smacked him on the face. She called my son a liar right in front of me. So unprofessional. I left because I didn’t want to cause a scene. I called her to discuss the issue and she hung up on me. Then she called and left a message that I wasn’t allowed on property because I attacked another parent in the parking lot. If that was true. Why you didn’t call the police or file a report because there all lies. Dahlia doesn’t have a clue to handle situations like this. She’s wasn’t trained correctly and she shouldn’t be work with small children. Her speech is terrible. I can barely understand her and she’s loud . She should be terminated. I’m disgusted that my son was around her for a few years. Now I know the truth and I pulled my son right out of the school. Business is managed poorly and needs to be managed by a properly trained profess that knows how to talk customers. Sorry Dalia. This is America. Not a third world country. You can’t go around disrespecting people.

I have to agree with the poster above.&nbsp; I had a similiar experience there, about a year ago.&nbsp; I felt that, although it's a clean establishment &amp; aesthetically pleasing, there was ALOT of confusion &amp; EXTREME disorganization going on.&nbsp; The teachers BARELY speak English &amp;&nbsp;there is a quick turnover with teachers as well; it was like a different teacher every other day.&nbsp; I also witnessed a lack of supervision with the children.&nbsp; Things were good, AT FIRST, and then went downhill really fast from there.&nbsp; I ended up pulling my son out of there after a&nbsp;few months.&nbsp; I also found it to be EXTREMELY over-priced.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Although a very clean establishment, when my child went there, there seemed to be a lot of disorganiztion.  His teacher changed 3+ times in a matter of months and 1 of them didn't even speak very good english.  There was a lack of supervision during this time as well, which caused my child and others to behave poorly and continue to do so until things would go too far and then they blamed the children.  I was satisfied with this place the 1st 6 months, the 2 yr old room and potty training room teachers were wonderful.  After that, it just went downhill.  They also severly lack technology in todays schooling.  If you want to save a little money and your child is very young, this might be the place for you.  If you want them to be taught with up to date technolody, this is not the place for you.  Aesthetics are pleasing but its the behind the scenes and backbone of the place that is very lacking.

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.
