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)
From FreePreschool.us (opens in new tab), checked against official sources Sep 2026.
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 toured this provider's facility, but have not used its services

As a person I know when we have a need we only want to look at the good reviews, but as a mom I wish you would look at mine for the sake of your child. my mom worked there for a week until she couldn't take it anymore, kids are mistreated, parents send the food, and they throw it away and don't give it them, kids either eat what they give them or DONT IT AT ALL which is what most of the time happens, kids cry out and not one hugs them or calm them down. they are forced to sleep with shoes on and the babies are the ones that suffer the most, they spend the day with no toy in a crib, they don't drink any water until after the first year, even if they have it at home they won't give them water, they won't play with them or take them outside, I saw a brunette one year old baby crying for her mom trying to get hugged and pushed aside with an scream of stop crying your mom is not coming and I almost broke down .... the director Ana for God's sake believe me Shes an hypocrite she won't tell you no half of the thing your children suffer every day there... and if that is how they treat the children only believe how they treat their workers, they are not even allowed to go to the doctor, if they do they get fired. Please as a mom, that has a kid and it would break my heart to know that my son is not eating begging for the food from home and stays empty stomach all day cause they throw away what I send from home and don't let them eat... don't take your kid to this place please... there's abuse in this place, there is children abuse, don't put your kid thru it. they are innocents and most of the time they cant even tell you what they are going thru

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.
