Enrollment

Enrollment is open to any child between the ages of twelve months and 7 years of age, with priority given to children who are re-enrollment, then to siblings of enrolled and then to our waiting list. Children are then enrolled on a first come, first serve basis.

Sheepscot Valley Children’s House serves all individuals who are eligible for its programs in a nondiscriminatory manner, without regard to race, color, national origin, ancestry, religion, sex, disability or age. SVCH is a small, non-profit school without financial resources to provide a special education teacher or separate program for children who may require such services.
