Achieve Escambia Celebrates VPK Enrollment Increase

Escambia County preschoolers are off to a great 2017-2018 school year!

Earlier this summer, one of our kindergarten readiness task forces voted to increase Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten (VPK) enrollment in our county by focusing on three key school attendance zones. With just a few months to go, the task force set a deadline of September 15 and got to work, spreading the word about the value of early learning to parents and caregivers using a variety of outreach strategies, and coming together across three systems on behalf of local children and families. 

We are pleased to announce their hard work has paid off.
