Sacred Heart Preschool Admissions

 

We invite you to contact the SHP Admissions Office to arrange a tour of Sacred Heart Preschool on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays between the hours of 9:00-11:00 am from September - May. At the time of your tour, you will receive information about SHP including curriculum and program details, tuition rates, school hours, calendar, typical daily schedule, as well as a link to the SHP student application for enrollment. Applications may be submitted at any time during the year before the enrollment period begins in February.  At the discretion of SHP administration, students will be admitted to SHP and placed in classes with consideration given to age range and school day schedule preferences.

 

Priority for Admission

Children will be admitted/enrolled to Sacred Heart Preschool according to the following categories. 

  • Currently enrolled students: Child is currently enrolled in SHP
  • Siblings of current students (current SHP families): Child is not currently enrolled but is a sibling of a currently enrolled child
  • SHS Employees: Child’s parent(s) is a faculty or staff member at Sacred Heart Schools
  • SHS Alumni/Legacy: Child’s parent is an alumnus of Sacred Heart Schools or child’s older sibling attended SHP in previous years
  • Community-at-Large: New applicants to SHP
 

 

SHP Enrollment Process and Timeline

The SHP enrollment period begins in early February for the school year beginning in August of the same year. The enrollment period opens first for current SHP students going through the re-enrollment process for the coming school year. After current student re-enrollment is complete, SHP will offer any open spots to students on the waitlist based on the priority noted above.

Enrollment deadlines will be clearly indicated in the enrollment letter sent to the contact information on file. If a deadline passes, the administration will move on to the next applicant on the waiting list.

This process may take several weeks. By the end of March, when enrollment is complete, SHP will send notifications to all families on the waitlist with an update on admissions status. At that time, we will ask you to contact us by a clearly indicated deadline in order to remain on the waiting list for the current year (if a spot opens up) or for the next school year. If a class does not reach capacity after this initial enrollment period, we will continue to take applications for those remaining spots. 

 

Summer Program

SHP offers a Summer Camp Program to currently enrolled students. Students may enroll in camp on a weekly basis and participation in this program is optional. There is a separate enrollment process and contract for camp outside of school year enrollment.

If there is still availability in Summer Camp after current students complete enrollment, spots may be opened to new students enrolled to join SHP in August. Space is limited, so if contracts are not returned by the date stated on the enrollment communication, contracts will then be offered to newly enrolling students, which would include any new siblings, then our community waitlist.
