Things you need to know about VPK

Parents it is that time of year to start looking for a preschool / V.P.K. Program ~ Please be aware of your vpk rights:

1. You have the right to choose which vpk program you would like to enroll in.

2. To be free from the provider or school requiring you to pay any fee or charge for the vpk program.

3.To have the provider/school admit your child in the VPK program without requiring you to enroll (or pay) for additional services ( full day , wrap around services , extended - day services.) Basically if you just want the 3 free vpk hours that is all you need to enroll for .

If any school or provider try to charge you~ call : 1-850-717-8624 they will take care of the problem.
