supports three office locations in Louisville and Lexington, Kentucky and
Indianapolis, Indiana.
As an infant organization,
VIPS shared space with other
non - profits with the shared
mission of serving young children.
As awareness of VIPS grew, so
did the demand for services. VIPS
moved into its current location in December of 2004 with space for office
and support services as well as a classroom wing for center - based
preschool services. In the summer of 2008, with the generous support of
Kosair Charities and the Kentucky School for the Blind Charitable
Foundation, Kids Town Preschool was completed. Young children who
were blind, visually impaired or deaf - blind from across the region were now
able to come to VIPS for preschool. Today, Kids Town Preschool at VIPS
is Kentucky's only full - time preschool for children with visual impairments.
It is nationally accredited through AdvanceED and is Jefferson County,
Kentucky's first five - star rated preschool/chil dcare facility.
