With a possibility of moving to Orlando, I have been researching preschools and came across the FL VPK program. We do not have a program like this in TN. I believe ours here is for underprivileged children and children with disabilities. So, I am unfamiliar with The FL set up.

Questions:
1. My son is old enough "technically" to enter kindergarden in the fall of 2014. He has summer birthday. However, due to several factors, we have decided to hold him back for 1 more year of preschool. Since he will already be 5, could he still do the VPK program in FL in Fall of 2014?

2. What are the opinions on the VPK program? Good/ bad?

3. What are the better schools for VPK? Do they fill fast or have spaces for transfers?

No, if he is 5 years old by Sept. 1st, then he does not qualify. However, if he's 4YO over the summer, then you may want to do some research, as there are summer VPK programs.

On another note, FL is one of the better homeschooling state, just as a thought. There are free online schools that start as early as K that may be an option. K12 is a great option!

Good luck!
