Does Lovers Little Ones Academy accept the Florida scholarship, and what would a Duval family receive?
Not as of October 28, 2026: the Florida DOE does not list Lovers Little Ones Academy as an FTC/FES-EO participant. A school can join by registering with Step Up For Students, so it is fair to ask whether Lovers Little Ones Academy plans to, or whether PEP or FES-UA money can pay for any of its programs.
The school starts at pre-K, so ask whether it provides Florida VPK for four-year-olds and whether it takes School Readiness child care assistance through the Early Learning Coalition of Duval. A child who begins here can move into kindergarten on the state scholarship without changing campuses.
Schools tied to a church frequently discount for members and siblings or run sponsorship funds, and some join the Edu Fund Partner Scholarship.
The school's latest state survey (2025) counts 10 students, and its largest grade is pre-k with 10. Among the 27 private schools registered in Westside, Ortega, Normandy & Lake Shore, it ranks 22nd by reported enrollment.
