Valle Verde Children’s Center

We are a Private, Nonprofit, play-based before- and after-school program located on the grounds of Valle Verde Elementary School. We provide your child with a safe, fun, and nurturing environment to explore areas such as art, music, sports, science, cooking, and computers. We also provide a quiet environment for homework.

**VVCC Enrollment Disclosure**

In accordance with our Behavior Agreement (VVCC Enrollment Packet, Pg. 11), VVCC reserves the right to decline enrollment and/or discontinue services to children and parents who exhibit repeated disrespectful or unsafe behavior and/or require accommodations or services that VVCC Staff are unable to adequately provide within our large group care setting (i.e. aggressive behavior, harassment, one on one care, specialized bathroom assistance, etc.). While we understand these decisions may be disappointing, we ask all families to respect our judgement as child care advocates and professionals

    “our daughter has been attending VVCC for both after- school care & Summer programs. They create a fun & nurturing environment filled with creative activities that keep my daughter excited to come back everyday. When we ask about her day, she often talks more about what she did at the VVCC than in her regular class that’s how much joy & excitement it brings her. ”
