| This program does not provide program details or enrollment materials online or to the general public for review.. Shelterwood does provide a "questionnaire-type" application online. But, we require program details and the enrollment materials in order to effectively review the program. Since it is a "faith-based" program, we recommend you review the contract reviews for other "faith-based" programs (or programs so advertised) at www.heal-online.org/abundant.htm, www.heal-online.org/abmcontract.htm, and www.heal-online.org/artcranch.htm. If the contracts for Shelterwood are similar to the unrelated program contracts linked in this paragraph, we advise against your placing your child in the program. | ||
