  • What is the best age to start preschool?

    The ideal age to start preschool is typically around 3 years old, as children begin to develop social and cognitive skills. 


    However, it's essential to note that preschool and childcare serve distinct purposes. While preschool focuses on early education, childcare provides a nurturing environment for children from infancy. 


    Starting childcare at an earlier age can offer benefits like socialization and routine, laying a foundation for a smooth transition to preschool when they're developmentally ready, typically around age 3 or 4.

  • What is the VPK program?

    The Voluntary Prekindergarten Education Program (VPK) prepares early learners for success in kindergarten and beyond. VPK helps build a strong foundation for school using educational material corresponding to various stages in a child’s development. 

  • Do I qualify for the VPK program?

    To be eligible for VPK, children must live in Florida and be 4 years old on or before Sept. 1 of the current school year. To begin applying for VPK Click Here.

What Parents Say About Us

    Ann

    From the first day I walked in looking for a daycare for my son, Ms. Courtney welcomed me with big smile 😁 that I had never forgotten. That warm welcome gave me assurance, that my son will be in good hands.

    Each day passes, and she proves the first feeling I had was true. She is understanding, loves kids, and she would do fun stuff for them, especially on holidays and special occasions. She is lenient and accommodating, a quality that is hard to find in other daycare facilities...

    I looking forward to more years of learning, fun, and friendship 😄🤗

    This daycare center is top-notch! I love how family-oriented, safe, and educational it is. You can usually expect an impromptu dance party for music and movement, arts and crafts, and outside free play each day. CLLSA always does something special to celebrate each holiday. We love it here
