Getting A Head Start We all know how important early childhood education is. That’s why Florida enacted the Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten program in 2002 so that every family, regardless of income, can have access to free pre-K for their children. At Lil’ Rascals Academy, we are thrilled to offer VPK programs for both summer and during the school year where your child can get a head start on learning. In VPK, they will learn vital skills that will help build the foundation for elementary school and beyond. What Will My Child Learn At VPK? Early math and reading skills Social skills and problem-solving skills Traits like responsibility and self-control And more vital life skills! Pembroke Pines Some children are rearing to go to school. Others, even at a young age, are nervous and uneasy about going to school. Whether it’s being shy, doubtful of his or her reading skills, or simply being nervous of a new place, starting kindergarten can be quite an adjustment for young children. That’s where the V.P.K. program in Pembroke Pines, FL, comes in. If your four or five-year-old isn’t looking forward to kindergarten, this program allows new students to enhance pre-reading, pre-math, language, and social skills in a safe environment. By having an opportunity to practice these skills and having a head start in certain areas, it sets up a foundation that will help support your child in the future years of education. This program also guides your child in other aspects of learning that aren’t necessarily covered in books. The qualified teachers in the V.P.K program want your child to succeed in having strong character traits, including respect, honesty, responsibility, self-control, tolerance, kindness, and citizenship. Having these personal skills will make the transition into kindergarten, first grade, and beyond a much smoother process.
