The VPK /​ Early Learning Initiative serves designated Title I schools and other areas of need within our school district. Designated schools offer VPK instruction with a full day program (typical elementary school day hours) free to eligible families. Families must live in the designated school zone and complete the application and registration process at the school site. Students must be 4 by September 1st of the current school year. Families must obtain a valid Certificate of Eligibility from the Early Learning Coalition of Flagler and Volusia Counties for enrollment and registration.

Transportation must be provided by the parent.

Families may apply for the Certificate of Eligibility online at Early Learning Coalition of Flagler and Volusia.

Required registration documents include:

  • current physical record (Florida Physical Form 3040)
