Kids in Motion VPK Program

---

Kids in Motion is accepting vouchers for in-class instruction for the 2023-2024 school year! 

 Voluntary prekindergarten (VPK) is a state program designed to prepare every child in Florida for kindergarten and build the foundation for their educational success. VPK gives each child an opportunity to perform better in school and throughout life with quality programs that include high literacy standards, accountability, appropriate curricula, substantial instruction periods, manageable class sizes and qualified instructors. All eligible children are entitled to participate in one of three VPK program options. The VPK mission is to ensure that all children are intellectually, socially, emotionally and physically ready to enter school and ready to learn, fully recognizing the crucial role of parents as their child’s first teacher.

Kids in Motion offers school year VPK instruction (540 hours) to all qualifying children. Children must live in Florida and be 4 on or before September 1 of the school year they enroll. Kids in Motion offers free VPK from the hours of 9:00am to 12:15pm. Free Lunch Included! We follow all Broward County Public School no school days and breaks.

Free weekly swimming lesson included! We have an indoor heated pool for year round instruction. All instructors are Red Cross Water Safety Instructor Certified.

Here at Kids in Motion, we value our parents. Establishing a partnership between teacher, front office staff, and parents is a high priority. Parents are essential in their child's education  and developmental needs. 

We offer many family participation events throughout the year which include, but are not limited to, a Thanksgiving lunch, Winter performance, Mother's Day breakfast, Graduation and End of Year performance. Parents are encouraged to volunteer for events such as our Halloween Costume Parade and as a Read for the Record Guest Reader. Children also enjoy social events throughout the year where parents can sign up to bring goodies requested by the teacher.

• We always put health and safety of our children, families, and staff first. In addition to our normal sanitation and cleaning, we hired a staff member full time to constantly sanitize toys, bathrooms, and playgrounds after each use. We also are following the CDC recommended guidelines on 1 teacher to 9 children in a room. Children are expected to wear a mask all day (except during physical activities such as swimming and outdoor play) and maintain social distancing.
