We Provide Free Preschool through the VPK program
The Florida Voluntary Prekindergarten Education Program (VPK Program) offered by First Presbyterian Learning Centers Preschool in Hollywood FL meets the need of all 4- year old children and their families for high quality early learning, regardless of family income. The goal of our VPK Program is to prepare 4-year old children for Kindergarten readiness, success in school and in life.
In the VPK program of the Learning Centers, we address multiple areas of child development and early learning, including: language & communication, numbers & math skills, social skills, learning self-control and appropriate expression of feelings, empathy toward others, and motor skills & physical development.
How VPK will Benefit Your Child
Our preschool teachers and VPK instructors at First Presbyterian Learning Centers know that early in childhood is a time of intense brain development. The quality of the education children receive during this time helps to ensure that your child will succeed later in school, college, career and life.
