Developmental delay (ages 3-5): Hillsborough private schools and FES-UA funding

FES-UA begins at age 3, which makes developmental delay the entry point for many Hillsborough preschool families. 54 private schools in Hillsborough report serving this category to the Florida DOE; 38 also accept the state scholarship.

Verified against the state record. School details on this page are reproduced from the Florida Department of Education Private School Directory (Hillsborough district), retrieved October 17, 2026. Scholarship participation reflects the state's FTC/FES-EO participating-school flag on that date. Tuition is not reported to the state — confirm it with the school.

What the FES-UA account pays for

Eligible from age 3; the account can pay a private preschool, VPK wrap-around fees, therapies and specialized summer programs.
A VPK provider that also reports this category lets a family use VPK for the free hours and FES-UA for therapies and extended day.

The account can pay the school's tuition and eligible fees, licensed therapies (ABA, speech, OT, PT, counseling), credentialed tutors, curriculum, devices and assistive technology, specialized summer programs, testing and evaluations. See every category →
