VPK
Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten
A summer packed with learning and fun that will prepare your child for the
upcoming school year and help start them on their academic road to success!
Summer VPK
VPK stands for Voluntary Pre Kindergarten Education Program. If you live in Florida, and your child turns four years of age by September 1, your child is eligible to participate in Florida’s FREE Volutary PreKindergarten (VPK) education program.
There are two options for parents to choose:
- Option 1 is our school year program.
- Option 2 is the summer program.
Any child that lives in Florida and turned four years of age by September 1st of the current school year, is eligible for the summer VPK as long as they did not previously participate in the school year VPK program.
Our VPK Reading Program
The reading method is sequential and structured. It begins with letter and sound recognition known as phonemic awareness. We teach each sound clearly and distinctly. Once the correct sounds have been mastered, we then move to blending those correct sounds together to form syllables. Special attention is given to see how each individual child blends sounds as we begin to recognize their unique learning modalities.
Our VPK Math Program
Manipulative Math
Our math curriculum is manipulative based. All mathematical concepts are taught from the beginning allowing the student to experience the concrete concept before moving to the abstract concepts of math. Mastery of numbers 1-10 leads to introduction of the decimal system in a hands on fun bank game.
Our VPK Computer Program
Our computer technology program allows for fun discovery as students become familiar with the keyboard and mouse. All computer work reinforces skills taught in both reading and math. We use the renowned Lexia learning system computer software for reading and visual spatial concepts.
Our VPK Art Program
Art is an integral part of learning and therefore no learning program would be complete without it. Our students will have an opportunity to experience an array of art medians.
Our VPK Science Program
Butterflies, butterflies and more butterflies!
We will discover where they live and what they eat as we let our imaginations go wild. Don’t be surprised if we become social butterflies with so many interactions!
We are a small and very specialized school and clinic that works with children with learning differences in the area of written and oral language.
All of our therapists and teachers have training in multisensory language instruction. Our Curriculum is research based and is very effective for remediation as well as advance placement. We use a hands on approach to learning that allows the child to experience success before failure. This type of instruction utilizes each child’s individual learning modality insuring academic success.
