Alphabetland is proud to announce we are currently working with the North Lauderdale Educational Center to run exciting and robust FREE Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten (VPK) Programs, with no registration fee.

Every child that turns four (4) years of age by September 1st of the current year is eligible to participate in Florida’s FREE VPK.
