 Licensed Child Care: Infant to School Age

  • VSOCC will admit children into spaces following the established priorities and procedures.


  • VSOCC will also attempt to support a family's desire to advance children through the agency's entire program continuum.


  • VSOCC will also attempt to support a family's desire to maintain siblings within the same VSOCC facility.


  • Parents must register a child on a VSOCC waitlist for any and all age-appropriate programs within any and all VSOCC facilities.


  • Parents may register on a waitlist up to two years in advance of needing a space within a program.


  • A program space will be offered only to a child who qualifies for that program or who will qualify for that program within 30 days.
  Waitlist Registration Procedure
  1. A parent may access a registration/waitlist information package from VSOCC by clicking on the link, phone, fax, or by picking up from our administration office.


  2. A parent/child is placed in the VSOCC database for the relevant waitlist(s) once the waitlist form is completed and returned with the waitlist application deposit.


  3. VSOCC administration will give the parent/child a receipt and a letter that confirms the placement in the agency database and on the relevant waitlist(s): what happens when a space becomes available, and how to request a change of space requirement, and how to withdraw from the waitlist.
