Early Education and Care:

The Child Care program first started in 1992 due to a need for quality child care within the Rutland community. Over the years the program has made changes including a name change to Early Education and Care. The Early Education and Care program has added enrichment programs at several local school within Rutland County per parent request. These programs offer more than just babysitting. The Early Education and Care programs offers enriching programs for Infants, Toddlers, Pre School and School Aged Children as well as Summer Programs.

 Early Education and Care brings together a mix of young children in an enriched, developmentally appropriate learning environment.  We are more than daycare!  Our early childhood program promotes independence, self-esteem and growth in areas of motor skills, language and literacy, play skills and social competency.  VAC currently enrolls approximately 120 children, from six weeks through twelve years of age in our early education and care program. 

 We provide nutritious breakfast, lunch and pm snacks. In addition to our education filled classrooms we have infant/toddler and preschool/school aged playgrounds, a gymnasium, swimming activities in the Mitchell Therapy Pool.
