  Description:

  At OakHaven Academy for Diverse Learners, we take great care in ensuring our program is the right fit for each child. Our admission process is designed to be thoughtful and collaborative, helping families and staff make informed decisions together.

  1. Initial Phone Call
  We begin with a conversation to learn about your child and introduce our program and philosophy.

  2. Parent Meeting
  Parents are invited to meet in person with our team to discuss their child’s needs in more detail.

  3. Parent and Child Visit
  Next, we invite both the parents and the child to visit OakHaven Academy together. This meeting allows the child to become familiar with the environment and gives our staff a chance to interact directly with them. It also helps us assess how the child engages in a new setting and gives the family a feel for our community culture.  This meeting usually begins the three day trial period.

  4. Three-Day Trial
  Finally, to ensure the best possible match, the final step in our process is a three-day trial period.  During this time, the child participates in our program under the observation of our educators and support staff. This allows us to assess how well the child responds to our structure, routines, and expectations, and to determine whether we can adequately support their learning and development.

  At the conclusion of the trial, we meet with the family to review observations, share feedback, and make a collaborative decision about moving forward with enrollment.

  Our goal throughout the admission process is to build a strong foundation for success by ensuring that OakHaven Academy is the right environment for each child’s growth - socially, emotionally, and academically.
