The Little Vikings Learning Center is located in the portable building adjacent to Lago Vista Elementary School and was created to provide high quality childcare for the employees of Lago Vista ISD. By providing a child care program for our employees, Lago Vista ISD strives to assist our employees in building strong family lives and a solid, stable workforce. If space is available, enrollment is extended to non-employee children as a service to the Lago Vista ISD community.
In order to qualify for enrollment, a child must be 0-5 years of age. Each child enrolled in the Little Vikings Learning Center must meet applicable requirements specified by the Texas Department of State Health Services Immunization Requirements. For more information about enrolling your student in Little Vikings, please view the Little Vikings Learning Center Parent Handbook.
Hours of Operation
The Little Vikings Learning Center operates 187 days each academic year and follows the Lago Vista ISD teacher calendar (early to mid-August through late May or early June). Childcare is provided every day that teachers are required to report to work.
- Children may be dropped off in the classroom no earlier than 7:15am.
- Children must be picked up by an adult no later than 4:30pm.
The Little Vikings Learning Center does not offer part-time enrollment. Even if a child does not attend the program each day of operation, the full tuition rate is required for enrollment. There is not a discount given for days not attended. Also, please note that the tuition rate for Little Vikings is only prorated for newborn infants entering the daycare for the first time or for students filling a vacant spot midyear. Tuition for all other students will be the full 187-day tuition rate and their spaces will be made available on the first day of operation (regardless of whether they start on that date).
2024-2025 Tuition & Fees
The Little Vikings Learning Center is a non-profit center designed to offer our Lago Vista ISD staff affordable childcare rates and tuition rates are set to ensure a quality of the program. Careful consideration is taken to ensure that tuition rates and fees are set to ensure our ability to provide a high quality program while remaining as affordable as possible. The 2024-2025 Little Vikings tuition rates are as follows:
In addition to the annual tuition, please note that there is a total of $100 in fees for each child. These fees are used to supplement the supply budget, conduct routine maintenance, and help us keep our tuition rates as low as possible. This $100 in fees is collected in two payments (to help spread them out):
Application Fee: A non-refundable $50 application is due with the application for enrollment for the upcoming year. Applications are not considered complete without this fee.
Operations Fee: A $50 operations fee is due annually on September 1st (or on the first day of enrollment for infants enrolling after the start of the school year).
For more information on tuition, fees, and payment policies, please view the Little Vikings Learning Center Parent Handbook.

Applications to request enrollment for the upcoming school year are opened in the spring. All parents (including employees) who wish to enroll a child in the Little Vikings Learning Center for the upcoming school year must submit an application to request enrollment and a non-refundable application fee of $50.
Applicants are placed on the waiting list for the upcoming year only upon receipt of a completed application to request enrollment and the non-refundable application fee.
