Did you catch Angel Carro, President/CEO, and Lashonda Hicks, CPO, on First Coast Living discussing the importance of enrolling 4-year-olds in quality VPK programs? VPK graduates are more prepared for kindergarten than those who don't attend preschool. Set your child up for success by enrolling him or her in any of Jacksonville's 350+ VPK programs. #VPK #earlychildhoodeducation #kindergartenpreparedness #Duval #Jacksonville #ELCDuval Angel Carro Lashonda Hicks Lisa Zenoz Cheryl Benveniste Danielle DeCastro Cathie Odom, MBA Ann Thompson Charlene Gross Gwendolyn Carmichael Johnna Cooper-Daniels Kathleen Wentworth Rosa Fucci
