Ask the office about current schedule options for your child’s program.

Yes. Little Sunshine offers Florida’s Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK) program. VPK provides free instructional hours for eligible children; it does not make full-day care free. Contact the school about this year’s VPK schedule, enrollment and the cost of any care outside VPK hours.

How VPK Works Here

First, apply for your child’s VPK Certificate of Eligibility through Florida’s Family Portal. Applying for the certificate is separate from enrolling at Little Sunshine. Then contact our office at (727) 868-9100 about registration, the current VPK schedule and availability.

Open The Florida Family Portal

Children must live in Florida and be four on or before September 1 of the school year. Birthdays from February 2 to September 1 may also wait a year.

Tuition depends on your child’s program and schedule. Call the office at (727) 868-9100 for current rates.

What To Ask When Comparing Tuition

Ask the office whether School Readiness child care assistance can be used at Little Sunshine. The Early Learning Coalition of Pasco and Hernando Counties runs the program for eligible families.

About School Readiness

Ask the office about registration and supply fees for your child’s program. Under state rules, providers may not charge a registration fee for VPK itself.

Questions To Ask On A Tour

Tour, ask your questions, then complete the registration forms with the office. Spaces fill on a first-come, first-served basis, so reach out early.

How Enrollment Works

Availability changes through the year and differs by room. Call the office to ask about your child’s age group.

Meal and snack arrangements can differ by program. Ask the office what is currently provided, whether anything should be packed from home, and how to share allergy or dietary information with your child’s teacher.

Ask on your tour how teachers share the day with families in your child’s room, from pickup conversations to written updates.

Yes. Our large, supervised playground sits in the shade of big live oaks. Ask how outdoor time works for your child’s age group.

Expectations differ by room. Ask on your tour how teachers support toilet learning for your child’s age.

Is My Two-Year-Old Ready For Preschool?

Ask the office how authorized pickup works and what to do if someone new is picking up.

Keep goodbyes short and predictable, bring a comfort item if allowed, and talk with the teacher.
