Frequently asked questions
What ages do you take?
Children from 6 weeks to 5 years, in three rooms: Sprouts for babies and young toddlers, Seedlings for twos, and the Garden room for threes and fours.
Can we tour?
Yes. Book a tour and come in the morning, when the garden is in use. You can bring your child, and we'll walk the beds, the rooms and the kitchen together.
What does a day look like?
Arrival at the door, time in the garden or on the trail, snack, lunch from our kitchen, rest, and a quieter afternoon before pickup. The weather decides how long each stretch outdoors lasts.
What does licensed mean here?
Nibble is licensed by the state of Vermont as a child care center. The state sets the minimum for staff checks, training, space and the number of children for each adult, and we follow it.
How many children does each adult care for?
Each age group has its own number of children for every adult, set by the state. Ask us about it at the tour.
How does tuition work?
Tuition depends on your child's room, the schedule you choose and the days a week. Sumi gives you the figures in writing at the tour.
Who cooks the meals?
Regis cooks morning snack, lunch and afternoon snack in our kitchen, from a weekly menu planned around what the garden is giving. The menu is posted at the door.
What about food allergies?
Tell us at the tour. Once you enroll, we ask again in private, and the cook and your child's teachers get the list.
Do you share photos of my child?
Only with your written permission, and you can change your answer at any time.
How do we join the waitlist?
Tell us your child's age and the days you need when you write or book a tour. If a room is full, we put your family on the waitlist and call the family that has waited longest when a place opens.
Still have a question?
Call us or book a tour and ask in person.
