Before You Apply

Before filling out the Admissions Application, please make sure that you and your child meet the following requirements for our program:

 

  • Our program is based on a minimum of 12 months. The child must be able to complete the full 12-month program before turning 18.

  • Parents/guardians must be willing to support the Lighthouse Children’s Home administration, policies, and guidelines. Failure to do so can be confusing, disruptive, and counterproductive for the child.
  • Parents/guardians must be willing to financially support the child while she is at the Lighthouse Children’s Home. This helps offset the cost of staffing, utilities, education, and much more (for example, food costs alone average $15 per day, per child).

THIS IS A PERMANENT RECORD.

All questions must be answered and answered truthfully. Giving false or misleading information and/or omitting information pertinent to the child may cause the child to either not be approved for the program or to be expelled from the Lighthouse Children’s Home if approved and the information is revealed after admission. If information is unknown, every effort should be made to obtain it. This record will be very valuable in working with the child. If a question is not applicable, please mark N/A.

If you have any questions or need help, please call us at: 850-877-3778.
