Course Information
General Notes

Services offered by the Rising Summer Program are intended to fill gaps created by the loss of the Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten (VPK) instructional services due to a national health emergency (COVID-19).  Instruction is to be based on the Florida Early Learning and Developmental Standards (http://flbt5.floridaearlylearning.com/docs/OEL-VPK154yo.pdf). 

Program delivery is contingent upon a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) currently being developed by the Office of Early Learning (http://www.floridaearlylearning.com). Each participating school district should have a signed MOU with their local early learning coalition in order to qualify for the program and associated CARES funding.

At this time, funding for this course is available for the 2020-2021 school year through the CARES Act.  Please note that this course does not qualify for Florida Education Finance Program (FEFP).  

Questions can be directed to the Office of Early Learning at 866-447-1159.
