If the older girl is starting kindergarten this year it is not too late for the free VPK, they have a summer program for the children who did not do the school year program (you can only do the free VPK once so if she is not enrolled in the program right now she can enroll in the summer program). Search for Florida VPK for more information, but some of the elementary schools in the area do participate the summer program (maybe the school she will be attending is one of them), I think the summer program is about 6 weeks. Call Lake Magdalene Elementary or Carrollwood Elementary (or the school in your area) they should be able to help or point you in the right direction. Also you might not be too late for the kindergarten round up at the school she will be attending. Registration for kindergarten has already started, you will need to register now, rather than over the summer or right before school starts. I just registered by daughter this week for the VPK it took 10 minutes at the office on Florida Ave (old Floridaland Mall), the office faces the interstate (on the back side of the building). You will need her birth certificate and proof of address for registration. Also the City has a program for "day camp" at some of the rec centers, or classes for dance, gym, etc. Call the Wayne Pappy Center on Florida & Sligh, they started a 3 day program this year and maybe there is a spot available, if not they have art classes that you can take during the week for a small fee. Lake Park on Dale Mabry is a great park and there are lots of children to play with.
