VPK Program
The Jacksonville Jewish Center Preschool will operate a Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten program for the 2010-2011 school year.
Funding for the VPK program is linked not only to attendance but to the success of our students upon entrance into Kindergarten. Therefore, attendance during scheduled instructional days is imperative in order to remain in our VPK program.
In order to participate in the Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten (VPK) Program, you must register your child with the Early Learning Coalition. You will receive a certificate that you will in turn give to us in order to secure your child’s placement in our program. If you have any questions regarding VPK, please call the Early Learning Coalition of Duval at (904) 208-2044. Families registering a child in VPK are not required to pay a registration fee; however, there is a VPK Resource Fee of $365.00 due at the time of enrollment. This fee covers all resource classes, i.e. PE, Music, Hebrew, and fieldtrips; PLUS an additional 55 hours to the 540 allotted by the state-funded VPK program. (VPK state funding pays for 540 hrs; our school year includes 595 hrs.)
