Free VPK at My First Years Preschool!
At My First Years Preschool in Davie, Florida, children who turn 4 by September 1st are eligible for FREE Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten (VPK)! Our program runs from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, and children can stay for the full day with wraparound care options.
Why Our VPK Program Stands Out:
Eligibility: Free for all children who turn 4 by September 1st and reside in Florida—no income restrictions!
Structured & Balanced Learning: Children engage in hands-on activities with intentional guidance, balancing play with structured learning to prepare for kindergarten.
Full Day Options: Parents can pay for additional wraparound hours or apply for the School Readiness program, which helps eligible families cover part of tuition beyond the VPK hours.
Supportive Environment: Loving educators, small-group instruction, and daily routines that foster confidence, independence, and social-emotional development.

Need Full-Time Hours? You May Qualify for Additional Funding
The free VPK program covers 3 instructional hours per day (9 am – 12 pm). If your child stays beyond that, the additional hours are available at an extra cost.
We work with the Early Learning Coalition (ELC), which offers funding for qualifying families through VPK and School Readiness.
If approved for both VPK and School Readiness, the School Readiness funding can also help pay for your child’s wraparound hours.
Interested? Ask us about ELC funding when you get in touch. We're happy to help you navigate the process.
