Spanish Lake Elementary School is offering a new program to this year: Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten, or VPK.
The program helps 4-year-old students get a head start on their educations, the school said.
Children attend class from Monday to Friday at the school, at 7940 NW 194 St. They will practice communication skills and learn technology, music, science, math, art and athletics. The teacher-to-student ratio is 20 to 1 and instructors are certified in early child-hood education, the school said. An assistant is also assigned to the class. Spanish Lake Elementary Principal Milko Brito said, “I feel quite fortunate to add this stellar VPK pro-gram to the school.” Rumaika Iglesias, VPK teach-er, envisions her students becoming academically successful and well-round-ed.
For questions about how to enroll a child in the pro-gram call 305-816-0300.
