Step 1. Apply for a VPK Certificate

Apply for a Certificate of Eligibility on-line by visiting the  Florida's Early Learning Family Portal . For information or help with the VPK Certificate application, call the Early Learning Coalition of Brevard at 321-637-1800.

Step 2. Find your school and enroll in the VPK Program.

Go to (School Locator); enter your home address to locate your zoned school.

Visit our list of school sites offering VPK programs to determine if your home school is on the list.  (click for list) If your home school does not offer VPK, call 321-633-1000 x 11319 to learn about alternative options.

Contact your home school to complete the enrollment process.

You will need the following items to register at a school:

• VPK Certificate of Eligibility

• Child’s original birth certificate

• Current immunization record

• Current physical examination

• Two (2) forms of residence verification

Enrollment does not guarantee a VPK slot.  Some schools may hold a lottery process, should enrollment exceed class capacity.

If a child's 4th birthday falls between February 2nd to September 1st, parents may delay enrolling their child in VPK until the following year when the child is 5-years-old. The extension is intended to allow parents of younger 4-year-olds to delay the year their child begins VPK, in turn enabling the child to begin kindergarten and first grade as a slightly older, more mature student. Children may participate in the VPK program one time only.
