Families complete and submit a wait list form and nonrefundable fee.
Families stay in touch by visiting on a regular basis or contacting SSCS to check in.

Adult members of the family attend a mandatory New Family orientation meeting. At this meeting, you will meet the educators and review the family handbook as a group activity. The New Family Orientation meeting is typically offered in May or June.
Admission & Enrollment
The first step for enrollment is to meet and have a tour with the directors, then follow the waitlist steps, and submit a waitlist form. Meetings provide opportunities to discuss the parent and caregivers’ expectations, individual needs of the child, and the role the school will play in the child’s life. Curriculum, approach, and the daily operation of the school are discussed, as well as expectations the school may have for families and children.
Our process for introducing children to our program is through participation in stay and plays, conversations between SSCS administration team, and a mandatory new family orientation.
