VPK is a FREE program aimed at giving your four year old the tools necessary to enter kindergarten eager and ready to learn. Parents may apply through the Family Portal to obtain a certificate online.
Who Is Eligible
Florida was one of the first states in the country to offer free prekindergarten to all 4-year-olds. Children must live in Florida and be 4 years old on or before Sept. 1 of the current school year to be eligible. If their fourth birthday falls Feb. 2 through Sept. 1 in a calendar year, parents can postpone enrolling their child in VPK that year and wait until the following year when their child is 5.
How do I get a Certificate of Eligibility
Parents may obtain a certificate online at familyservices.floridaearlylearning.com. Families who do not have access to a computer or a scanner may walk-in to use equipment in the ELC of Seminole’s self serve computer lab Monday – Thursday 7:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. VPK registration may be completed on a mobile device if the required documents are photographed using a PDF scanning application (e.g. Android’s Handy Scanner, Window’s Scan2pdf, Apple’s Genius Scan)
The registration site will require parents/guardians to complete an application by uploading one of the following documents in PDF format:
Parents with a child who has attended no more than 70 percent of the VPK program may choose to transfer/re-enroll their child with a new VPK provider if the reason for the transfer/re-enrollment meets one of the approved circumstances (e.g., change of residence). If the child changes VPK providers more than once, the parent has to provide specific documentation to support the reason for the change. To do this, the parent or guardian must complete the VPK Reenrollment Application and bring it to the Coalition for review.
