Shandon Presbyterian Child Development Center (SPCDC) was founded to meet the need in our community for quality childcare. Since demand for care exceeds our capacity to serve all interested families, the following policies will be practiced to facilitate fair admission and enrollment.
Waiting List Priorities and Procedures:
SPCDC charges a $30 fee to be on one Waiting List. To put that child on an additional list for a different class is an extra $15. To place an additional child on any list is $15. Families interested in enrolling their children in a program may put their names on the waiting list by contacting the CDC office or by printing, filling out, and sending in the Waiting List Form to the left. (Note forms submitted without proper payment will be returned.) If the parent has contacted the Office, SPCDC will then send the parent a waiting list form and information about the program. Prompt return of the Waiting List Form is encouraged, as the waiting lists tend to be lengthy. All lists will be organized and maintained by group and year of desired entry. Parents may put their child on more than one list. All lists will be maintained until placement in our program is offered to the family. We will move your child's form up with the appropriate class as your child ages.
Once an opening becomes available, the following procedures will apply:
- Waiting list is reviewed.
- Priority is determined by Shandon Presbyterian Church membership and sibling status. (If a parent is already on the waiting list and becomes a member of SPC, the parent should call the CDC so that priority will reflect the date of church membership.)
- Prospective enrollees will be contacted in chronological order with priority being given to church members and those who already have children in the program.
- Once the parent is notified of available space, acceptance and registration must be complete within 5 business days. If a parent opts not to accept the space but wants the child to remain on the list, a $20 fee will be charged.
