How to Enroll

 Parents who are interested in enrollment at SCP should schedule a visit with the director. During this visit, the parents will have time to ask questions and spend time in the classroom. The enrollment process begins when the parent submits an application form along with a registration fee. If space is available, additional registration materials will be sent with a letter of acceptance. A security deposit is required to reserve a space at that time.

 Summit Children's Program highly values diversity among our staff and our families. The center enrolls children regardless of race, religion, sect, national origin, family structure, or source of childcare funding. We will do our best to adapt our program for children with special needs.

Our Location

Summit Children's Program is located at the corner of Greene and Westview Streets in the heart of West Mount Airy. We are one block from C.W. Henry Public School and one block from Lincoln Drive. We share our building space with Summit Presbyterian Church and the School of Dance Arts, among several other community organizations. We have generous indoor space, including a gymnasium and an outdoor play space that includes an enclosed, wooded backyard playground.

Our Staff

   Our professionally trained staff members are the greatest asset of our program. Their special talents and skills combine to form the foundation of an outstanding learning environment for children and families. Educated and experienced in the field of education, the staff received ongoing training and is encouraged to become involved in professional organizations committed to quality early childhood and school-age care programs.

The administrative leadership team at SCP works closely together to ensure that the program runs smoothly. Shelly Brick, our Executive Director, has the primary responsibility for the administrative and educational supervision of the program. She works very closely with Betty Barron, the Administrative Assistant, on day-to-day administration of our toddler and preschool programs, and with Tina Harris, the SAC director, in relation to our programs for elementary school students.

   All staff members undergo criminal and child abuse background checks and all staff members are certified in first aid, CPR, fire safety, shelter-in-space and emergency preparedness.

“We are very fortunate to have such caring and committed parents. Your children are enjoying playing and learning under the guidance of Summit’s caring and dedicated child care and after school program staff. My children have been at SCP since they were three years old, progressing from preschool, to pre-K for two years, summer camp, and SAC. During the seven years they have been at SCP, I have never had to worry about whether they were having fun, learning how to get along with other children, or enjoying the great outdoors. This speaks volumes about SCP’s expert and dedicated staff.” Parent
