Preparing Children for Kindergarten

At Kiddie City, a VPK in Dunedin, each activity is thoughtfully designed to align with the universally recognized stages of child development.

Our school is committed to fostering the emergent literacy skills essential for children to succeed. This commitment dates back to the introduction of the state of Florida’s free 3 hours of Voluntary Pre Kindergarten (VPK). VPK is available to all four-year-olds, regardless of family income.

The Florida VPK Educational Standards serve as a framework to prepare children for their transition to Kindergarten. By the end of VPK, children typically show the skills outlined in these standards, which focus on seven key areas of development. For more information, please visit Florida VPK.

We choose to offer The School Year VPK program. This consists of 540 hours of instruction and is scheduled to begin in late August and conclude in early May of the following year. It also includes a one-week break during the winter holiday. For families requiring full-time care, we also provide wrap-around care, which includes free VPK.
Planning for VPK begins in early spring to ensure that spots are reserved for children who have previously attended our program. To secure your child’s spot, it is essential to prioritize obtaining the Certificate of Eligibility and submitting it as soon as possible. For more information on how to obtain the certificate, please click on the VPK link or contact us, and we will be happy to assist you.

The care and experiences that children have in their first three years are extremely important. It shapes how they see the world, connect with others, and learn new things. It's a special time that sets the stage for their futures and it's too important to leave to chance!
