What should I expect after submitting my enrollment paperwork?

You will typically hear from our team 24-48 business hours after we receive your paperwork. Here are the steps families should expect during the enrollment process.

New Enrollment Confirmation Email - This communication verifies the packet(s) have been received and have started to be processed.

Welcome Letter - A letter will be mailed from the Pause Director giving you more information about who we are and how you can get plugged in while you wait for the enrollment process to be complete.

New Family Follow-Up Email - Our team will email or mail (using your listed preference) a 10 minute tool we call the Family Journey Map. This support helps us best understand the needs of your family and how to best support you!

Once we receive your Family Journey Map, you are officially part of the Pause family! You can register by clicking on the event links listed at the top of this page. If you communicated an interest in a Family Consultation, we will also connect with you to find a day/time that works best for you.

How do I register for upcoming events?
