Original Research by School Decision on Teen Parent Pk Child Care Program
The Teen Parent PK Child Care Program is a public prekindergarten program in Crawfordville, operated by the Wakulla County School District and housed at the same Arran Road address as the district's administrative offices. Its name and structure tell the essential story: this is a targeted program serving teenage parents and their young children, not a general-enrollment preschool. The enrollment reported in the data shows zero students at the time of the snapshot, which likely reflects the specialized and fluctuating nature of a program that serves a small, specific population rather than an absence of activity, though the data does not explain the figure further.
Because this program serves only prekindergarten-age children, standard state academic assessments do not apply to this grade level, so there are no testing results to report. That is not a gap in performance; it is simply outside the scope of tested grades. A graduation rate is similarly not applicable here. Demographic breakdowns and free-and-reduced-price lunch data were not reported for this program, so the peer population cannot be characterized beyond what the program's name implies.
For a teenage parent considering this option, the program sits within Wakulla County's broader public school system, which is a single-district county. Families living in the Crawfordville area would do well to contact the district directly for current enrollment, eligibility criteria, hours, and what services are provided alongside the childcare component, since the data available here does not detail those specifics.
The surrounding community context is worth knowing. Crawfordville is an unincorporated county seat that sits within the Tallahassee metropolitan area, positioned as a rural-residential community with a busy commercial corridor running through its center. Growth is publicly reported as active, with new housing construction, road widening between Crawfordville and Tallahassee, and commercial development all described as ongoing. The area is car-dependent; most daily errands and commutes require driving. Housing costs in the area currently sit below both the state and national medians, and rental costs have been rising. Affordability relative to income is more manageable here than in many Florida communities.
The Wakulla district itself has been making program investments worth noting. A career and technical education facility opened in 2025, expanding vocational pathways at the high school level. A full rebuild of Wakulla High School broke ground in 2026, with completion expected several years out. Voters also approved a dedicated school capital funding measure that took effect in 2023, providing an ongoing revenue stream for facility improvements. None of this directly bears on a prekindergarten childcare program for teen parents, but it signals a district actively investing in its physical and programmatic infrastructure, which may matter to a young parent whose child will move through this system over the next many years.
A parent looking at this program should reach out to the Wakulla County School District directly to understand exactly what services the program currently provides, who qualifies, and what the enrollment process looks like. The data here identifies the program's existence and location but does not describe its curriculum, staffing, hours, or support services.
