Program columns show whether the state listed the school for FTC/FES-EO, FES-UA and PEP on that date. Florida does not collect tuition, so confirm prices with each school.

If the school is a VPK provider, the four-year-old year costs nothing; from kindergarten the $8,643 K-3 award takes over at the same campus.
