VOLUNTARY PREKINDERGARTEN SCHOOL

Voluntary Prekindergarten School is a Title I public prekindergarten school that is part of the Fridley Public School District school district, located in FRIDLEY, MN with about 114 students. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 5 teachers, Voluntary Prekindergarten School has a student/teacher ratio of about 22:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The **Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK) program located at 6085 7th St NE in Fridley, Minnesota**, is a specialized educational initiative designed to provide early childhood learning opportunities for local children. Housed within the Fridley Public Schools district, this program focuses on building a strong academic and social foundation for preschoolers before they transition into kindergarten.

The curriculum is structured to support developmental milestones, emphasizing early literacy, numeracy, and social-emotional skills through play-based and guided instruction. By offering this voluntary program, the school aims to ensure that children in the Fridley community have access to high-quality early education, helping to narrow achievement gaps and prepare students for long-term success in the K-12 system.
