The Children’s Campus, a child and professional development center, is open twelve months a
year for children from 3 months to five years old. The Children’s Campus uses Creative Curriculum
to promote cognitive, language, social-emotional and physical growth of young children through
developmentally appropriate activities. Head Teachers are certified in early childhood education, and
are assisted by experienced assistants and RVCC student assistants. Priority registration is given to
RVCC students, employees and faculty. Children from the surrounding communities are accepted on
a space-available basis once the priority registration period for each semester has been concluded.
Tuition is charged based on the number of half or full days the children attend. Appointments to see
the center are recommended.
