*Riverside Child Development & Learning Center currently has a waiting list for all classrooms. We are able at times to offer temporary space. Please contact the center for more information about this option.

Our classrooms are currently filled as listed below. Space will be offered to those on our waitlist first. The center maintains a waiting list for families needing care. If space is not available at the time of interest, you may be placed on our waiting list for a nonrefundable fee of $50 Riverside, $75 Non-Riverside. If we are able to enroll your child, that fee will go towards the initial registration fee of $100 Riverside, $150 Non-Riverside. Please note that being placed on the waiting list DOES NOT guarantee space will become available. We will do our very best to accommodate families, however we must maintain classroom ratios.
