Our Free Full-Day VPK Program

Funtastic Learning Academy understands the needs of families and the importance of enrichment during a child’s most critical years of development. Since opening in January 2026, we have proudly offered families a tuition-free, full-day (6-hour) Voluntary Prekindergarten program from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

This extended VPK schedule gives children more time for meaningful learning, social development, and school readiness—providing a stronger foundation for success in kindergarten and beyond. Through our First Steps Initiative and high-quality teaching standards, students benefit from deeper engagement, richer instruction, and more opportunities for growth than traditional 3-hour VPK programs.

Enrollment is limited, and spaces are filling quickly. We invite families to secure their child’s place and take advantage of this exceptional opportunity.
