Riverside Early Learning Center

Chittenden County

Riverside Early Learning Center is nestled in the Intervale Avenue community in Burlington. As you enter the classrooms, you are met with an abundant amount of natural light as it pours through the large windows. The toddler and preschool classrooms are set up with great intention. They offer soft places to rest, engaging toys and books to explore and indoor climbers that naturally invite children to navigate their way up and down ramps and stairs.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I submit an application for enrollment?

If applying for next school year (starting in September), then it’s best to submit applications as early in the calendar year as possible. We also accept applications throughout the year and fill spots as vacancies arise.

Do you have a waitlist?

Yes, CVHS maintains a waitlist throughout the year. Families may choose to have their child on the waitlist for more than one CVHS site/program. We will contact you if we have a possible opening for your child.

How much does it cost for my child and family to enroll and participate in CVHS?

All services provided by CVHS are free. CVHS does ask all families to apply for additional funding for which they may be eligible, including state pre-k funds (also known as Act 166 funding) and Child Care Financial Assistance (CCFAP). Families who are not eligible for these funds may still enroll at no cost. Some services provided by collaborative partner child care centers do have a fee. These fees are not part of CVHS, and are paid directly to the partner childcare centers for non-CVHS services. Families often receive Child Care Financial Assistance (also known as “subsidy”) to help pay these fees.
