VPK Registration This Saturday at St. Johns & Putnam Area Malls | Schools

Registration kicks off this Saturday  for parents who want to register their four-year-old for the 2011-2012 Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten (VPK) program in Putnam & St. Johns Counties.

Early Learning Coalition of Putnam and St. Johns Counties and Episcopal Children’s Services representatives will be on hand to register and answer questions at the following 2011 VPK registration events.

Children born between September 2, 2006 and September 1, 2007 of Florida-residing parents are eligible to attend a high-quality pre-k learning program at no expense. 

St. Johns County

Ponce De Leon Mall ((2121 US 1 South, St. Augustine, FL 32086; by main entrance fountain):

• January 29, 10 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.

Putnam County

Palatka Mall (400 N State Road 19, Palatka, FL 32177; center court area):

• January 29, 10 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.

To register, parents must bring an official birth certificate or physician-signed shot record to prove the child is four on or before Sept. 1, 2011 as well as proof of Florida residency (driver’s license or utility bill with current physical address – not a post office box address).

The parent/guardian with whom the child resides must be the one to complete the necessary VPK paperwork. Early Learning Coalition of Putnam & St. Johns Counties will give parents a list of eligible pre-k providers.
