Florida voters understand that what children learn today shapes their tomorrow and that the tomorrows of our children affect us all.
That's why voters approved a 2002 ballot initiative for the state to fund a high-quality voluntary prekindergarten (VPK) for EVERY 4-year-old in Florida. Florida's FREE VPK program will give every child the chance to fulfill their potential and achieve their tomorrow.
All children living in Florida who turn 4-years-old by September 1, 2005
are eligible to participate. For more information
