Florida Department of Education Division on Early Learning

The Division of Early Learning (DEL) is dedicated to providing accessible, affordable and quality early learning services for the state’s children and families. In partnership with 30 early learning coalitions and Redlands Christian Migrant Association, DEL delivers three programs:

The School Readiness Program (SR) offers financial assistance to low-income families for early education and care so they can become financially self-sufficient and their young children can be successful in school in the future.
Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK) is a free educational program that prepares 4-year-olds for success in kindergarten and beyond.
Child Care Resource and Referral (CCR&R) is a network that helps families identify and select quality child care options that best meet their needs.
