The voluntary pre-kindergarten program prepares kids for kindergarten with pre-reading, pre-math, language and social skills.

The program, which Florida established in 2005 after state voters approved it in 2002, can give children from any economic situation an educational advantage, according to supporters.

North Okaloosa residents must provide proof of Florida residency and their child’s birth certifi cate to establish eligibility.
