What is Title 1 PK?

Title 1 PK provides a high quality early childhood experience that prepares children to be ready for kindergarten and supports family engagement.

Title 1 PK is a federally funded full day preschool program for 4-year-old children residing in select Title 1 school zones in Polk County.  Parents must reside within the school zone of the enrolling school and must submit the child’s VPK Certificate of Eligibility issued by the State of Florida with a current Polk County Public Schools’ PreK application.
