Research-Backed Kindergarten Preparation
"Children who attend high-quality VPK programs are significantly more likely to enter kindergarten ready to read, ready to count, and ready to thrive in a classroom setting."
Florida Department of Education · Office of Early Learning
We don’t leave readiness to chance. Every program, every classroom, and every teacher at Above & Beyond is working toward the same goal a child who walks into kindergarten and thrives there.
Skills are layered year over year from infancy through VPK - so by kindergarten, every foundation is deeply rooted, not rushed.
Low ratios mean every child is known individually. Frog Street's Conscious Discipline builds the emotional regulation kindergarten teachers say matters most.
We monitor each child’s progress throughout the year and keep families in the loop through regular updates and conferences so kindergarten never comes with surprises.
Every VPK child receives a formal kindergarten review before graduation. We've been doing this for 25+ years we know exactly what it takes.
The highest standards in Florida early childhood education
Every skill on this list is built intentionally at Above & Beyond – from infancy through VPK graduation.
