What is VPK?
VPK stands for the Voluntary Prekindergarten Education Program. If you live in Florida, and your child turns 4 four years of age by September 1, your child is eligible to participate in Florida's FREE Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK) education program.
Precious Cargo Academy provides a Christian atmosphere where all children are encouraged to be part of a caring and nurturing early childhood education experience.
Precious Cargo emphasizes a positive and creative environment that is designed to help our children develop a secure sense of self while encouraging respect and cooperation with one another. Positive interpersonal relationships between our staff and children help foster the individual's unique gifts and talent. Children who see themselves as highly valued are more likely to feel secure, thrive physically, get along with others, and ultimately be well-adjusted and happy children.

Though developmentally appropriate instructional goals and objectives, our children are provided opportunities for cognition, language acquisition, and social, emotional as well as physical educational opportunities.

Precious Cargo believes that early childhood education is where the future begins for a child, a family, a community, and a nation.

Individual Schedule)
Tiny Turtles: 6 weeks – 8 months
Tiny Turtles classrooms do not have specific times for specific activities, as we plan our day according to the needs of the individual schedules of the babies in our care. However, during each day in the bunnies' one classroom, the babies will experience a variety of activities that will meet their physical and emotional needs. This classroom is equipped with materials that were chosen to foster the development of necessary gross and fine motor skills as well as helping to expose the babies to language and fun sensory experiences. Having each child on an individual schedule makes for a successful classroom, as you are able to meet the physical needs of one child while another is engaged in music play or a story with another teacher. Examples of activities that will occur (aside from eating, being changed and sleeping) throughout each day are as follows:
- Tummy Time
- Music and Movement
- Manipulative Play
- Art/Sensory Play
- Outdoor Experiences
- Hand Eye Coordination Exercises
- Cause and Effect Activities
- Story Time
