Riverside Child Care is designed to be a fellowship arm of the church in Arlington and surrounding communities.

Riverside Child Care recognizes the home as the primary factor in a child’s development and it is the goal of the program to supplement the care of the child when she or he is away from home by facilitating the child’s maximum development. The center meets the needs of each child by providing an environment that supports physical emotional and cognitive needs. Each child is encouraged to share to take turns and to respect the rights of others.

The center provides both quiet and active play. Large and small muscle activities art projects music and rhythms opportunities for dramatic play story times science exploration and outdoor play enhance the daily lives of the children at Riverside.

Individual conferences for parents are held in the spring at pre-arranged times but teachers are glad to schedule a conference any time to discuss progress and adjustment needs of a child. You are welcome to visit the school at any time.

The school is governed by a Board composed of both church and non-church members. The Administrative Council of the Church approves the center’s operations as planned by the Board and Director. The Child Care Center at Riverside is open to all in the community and does not discriminate on the basis of race color religion sex or national origin.
