Questions parents ask about West Palm Beach Junior Academy

Is West Palm Beach Junior Academy a licensed child care provider in Florida?

No. The Florida Department of Children and Families lists West Palm Beach Junior Academy as "Substantial Compliance", which means it operates without a DCF child care licence rather than under one. Exempt providers remain on the DCF public record under record number S15PB0668, and Florida still requires background screening of their staff, but they are not licensed and are not inspected on the same schedule. Confirm current standing with DCF before enrolling.

Does West Palm Beach Junior Academy offer free VPK?

Yes. West Palm Beach Junior Academy is on record with Florida DCF as a Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK) provider, so eligible 4-year-olds can attend the state-funded program here at no cost. Confirm current VPK enrollment with the provider.

Is West Palm Beach Junior Academy a Gold Seal provider?

Yes. West Palm Beach Junior Academy holds Florida's Gold Seal Quality Care designation, which requires accreditation by a DCF-approved accrediting association in good standing.

Does West Palm Beach Junior Academy accept School Readiness subsidies?

Yes. The DCF record shows West Palm Beach Junior Academy participates in Florida's School Readiness program, so families approved for child care assistance through their local Early Learning Coalition may be able to use it here.

What are West Palm Beach Junior Academy's hours?

Weekday hours listed on its Google business profile are 7:30AM-5:30PM. Listings change, so call ahead to confirm.

How many children can West Palm Beach Junior Academy care for?

West Palm Beach Junior Academy is licensed for up to 20 children. Licensed capacity is a legal maximum, not current availability or enrollment.
