Lifelong Love of Learning
Our Florida state-funded Voluntary Prekindergarten program (VPK) fosters a lifelong love 
of learning.
of learning.We encourage:
• Hands-on and interactive learning opportunities to encourage social, emotional, physical and cognitive development.
• Critical thinking challenges for support of language, literacy, mathematics, science, social studies, and the arts.
• Guided discovery programs, including play and creative movement.
We participate in Voluntary Prekindergarten offered by the Florida State Office of Early Learning. We use the FrogStreet D.I.G. Program, a state-approved, comprehensive prekindergarten curriculum in our VPK class. D.I.G is a core Pre-K program that develops the whole child, inspires big learning across all domains, and grows early learners into confident kindergarten-ready students. We enjoy studying God's word together through our Bible Curriculum: Exploring God's Love.
