VPK Program

Universal Pre-Kindergarten This is a great new program that was passed by voters in 2002 to be made available by the fall of 2005. This program comes as a relief to many parents faced with finding affordable, high quality Pre-K education. The program is voluntary and provides parents a 3 or 6-hour day of pre-school for children who are eligible to begin Kindergarten the following school year.

Students are fully engaged in an intensive 36-week curriculum including Phonics/Reading, Writing, Number Recognition, and Language Development. Key elements within their learning community are:

• Name, sound, and picture recognition.
• A variety of blending.
• Reading circles and beginning reading comprehension.
• Vowel rules. Long and short, one-vowel rule, etc…
• Building speed and smoothness in reading.
• Lower and upper case letters.
