🤩Beyond Proud of our program!

🌳✨ We are so proud to share some exciting news! ✨🌳

The Learning Tree Early Education Center has officially scored in the “Meets above Expectations” range for providing a high-quality VPK program! 🎉

Even more special — we are 1 of only 26 programs in our area to earn this achievement. 🏆

We are grateful for our amazing teachers, families, and most importantly our little learners who make this possible every day. 💚

👏 A huge thank you to all of the other local providers who also scored high — together we are raising the standard of early childhood education in our community!

📚🌟 Here’s to continued success and bright futures for our children!

Marianna, FL-The Early Learning Coalition of Northwest Florida is proud to celebrate 15 Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK) programs who have earned the prestigious “Excellent” designation from the Florida Department of Education, Division of Early Learning for the 2024–2025 program year.

This recognition reflects the program’s commitment to delivering high-quality instruction, fostering meaningful learning gains, and preparing children for kindergarten success. The “Excellent” rating is based on three key performance metrics:
• Quality of instruction
• Student achievement
• Learning gains

In addition to the 15 “Excellent” centers, 26 VPK centers scored “Above Expectations,” demonstrating strong performance and a continued dedication to early learning excellence. These programs are helping to build a solid foundation for lifelong learning and success.

“These programs exemplify what it means to create high-quality early learning experiences for our youngest learners,” said Suzan Gage, Executive Director of the Early Learning Coalition of Northwest Florida. “We’re thrilled to see their hard work and dedication recognized at the state level.”

The Florida Department of Education’s updated accountability system ensures that VPK programs are evaluated using real-time data collected throughout the VPK program year, giving educators and families actionable insights into early learning outcomes.

The Early Learning Coalition extends heartfelt congratulations to each of these programs and thanks them for their continued partnership in building a strong foundation for lifelong learning.
