What is the best age to start preschool?

The ideal age to start preschool is typically around 3 years old, as children begin to develop social and cognitive skills.

However, it's essential to note that preschool and childcare serve distinct purposes. While preschool focuses on early education, childcare provides a nurturing environment for children from infancy.

Starting childcare at an earlier age can offer benefits like socialization and routine, laying a foundation for a smooth transition to preschool when they're developmentally ready, typically around age 3 or 4.
What is the VPK program?

The Voluntary Prekindergarten Education Program (VPK) prepares early learners for success in kindergarten and beyond. VPK helps build a strong foundation for school using educational material corresponding to various stages in a child’s development.
Do I qualify for the VPK program?

To be eligible for VPK, children must live in Florida and be 4 years old on or before Sept. 1 of the current school year. To begin applying for VPK Click Here. You will need to create an account using an email and password. Once you create an account, you will receive an email confirmation with the VPK link to begin the application process.
What is Florida School Readiness?

The Florida School Readiness Program offers financial assistance for early education and care to low-income families.

This daycare is exceptional. Miss Joan and her staff provide so much more than other facilities. I have watched my child grow socially, academically, and develop many skills while at the center. They really meet each child at wherever they are and work with them to reach their full potential. Our experience there has been amazing. They provide a safe, healthy, and stable environment for all children and their families. I can not say enough about the Learning Tree and more importantly the caregiver team they have.
