Franklin Square Early Learning Center

Chittenden County

Franklin Square Early Learning Center (FSELC) is in the Old North End of Burlington at the front of the Franklin Square community. At FSELC, children and teachers explore their neighborhood and playground and discover new things about their world. The individual interests of children create an environment where they learn and grow together. In small and large groups, children and teachers of FSELC work to build their community where they play, learn, and take care of one another. Whether it is exploring sensory play, experimenting with color to create new hues at the light table, dancing, recreating favorite story lines, or enjoying a meal together, children and teachers are engaged and invested in one another.

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.
