"I first became involved with SFPCC 13 years ago when my oldest of four children started there. Little did I know what a positive and significant impact SFPCC would have on the entire family. As each child moved through the Center, I gained a greater understanding of the complexities associated with creating and maintaining such a nurturing environment, and I have a deep appreciation for the strong working relationship that exists between parent, teachers and staff at SFPCC."

Overview

All interested families are encouraged to apply to SFPCC. You do not have to be affiliated with Harvard Business School or Harvard University in order to apply. We do, however, have the following priority in admission:
1) siblings of families currently enrolled at the Center
2) families affiliated with Harvard University 3) alumni families
4) families in the Allston/ Brighton community 5) families in the broader community.

A completed application form (available in either PDF, 15 KB or Word, 32 KB format) and $30 application fee are required in order to be considered for enrollment. Applications can be submitted at any time, but enrollment is generally offered for two specific periods of time: 1) the academic year (Sept. – June) and 2) the summer session (July and August, until the week before Labor Day). Upon contracting for first-time enrollment, one month’s tuition is required to secure the child’s space in the class.

We typically receive more applications than we have slots available, particularly in the infant program. If we are not able to offer you enrollment in the year when you submit your application, you will be placed on a waiting list and we will notify you as soon as a slot becomes available.

SFPCC enrolls 75 children on a full time or part time basis. All children are enrolled 5 days a week, with part-time slots reflecting a part-day option (8 am – 1 pm or 8 am -3 pm).
