Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten (VPK) is
a state-funded program that provides 540 hours of prekindergarten
education for four and year olds. There is no charge
to parents for this program, and parents are free to
choose their VPK provider.
The Village Academy is the largest provider of VPK
classes in St Johns County. We have invested heavily
in this program; in fact, we are the only VPK providers that use the Houghton-Mifflin pre-K curriculum, the same vendor used by St Johns County, at a cost of nearly $2,000 per classroom. We are certified by the state as a
Gold Seal Quality Care provider and are accredited
by the National Association for the Education of Young
Children (NAEYC). Our VPK program includes:
- 10-student and 18-student classes, with the latter
having both a teacher and an aide
- The Village uses
the same curriculum as St Johns County public schools
(Houghton Mifflin), so your child will make an easy
transition to Kindergarten
- A “wrap-around” program
to provide all-day educational opportunities
- Separate
enrichment programs in Spanish, computers, drama,
and music.
We are now accepting enrollments for the
2008 session which begins August 25th. Call 904.707.5909
