This program is free for eligible children who reside in Fauquier County.  Eligibility is based on family income and child and family risk factors.  There are four VPI classrooms within the county.  Transportation is provided.  The VPI program follows the same schedule as the elementary school in which it is located including weather-related closings.  Current VPI classrooms are at Coleman, Pierce, Ritchie, Miller, and Brumfield.
