Virginia Preschool Initiative (VPI) Information

The Virginia Preschool Initiative (VPI) is a program that provides a quality early childhood education for children who are at risk.  

All applications received during the application window are placed together in one group and considered first for enrollment. Applications received after the application window are placed in a separate group and only considered if there is availability.

Priority is given to families at the lowest income levels.
