| | We are happy to have you and your child with us. Our staff is here to provide your child with quality care while you are working, in school, or training. We also hope to enhance your role as an effective parent through educational meetings and through conferences about your child's progress.
The Palermo Children Center operates according to Title 22 and Title 5 State guidelines under the supervision (and funding) of the Department of Education, Office of Child Development.
Education: mental, physical, and emotional; health and safety; nutrition; social services; and parent education and involvement are mandated program components.
Staffing prerequisites: WARMTH, responsibility, maturity, experience, and a SENSE OF HUMOR. The personalities of the staff are purposely as diverse as possible, such that each child may find someone to whom they can relate.
The Palermo Children Center's maximum capacity is 41:29 PS/KDG plus 12 older children, requiring 2 teachers plus 2 aides. At present, our operating capacity is 24:1 teacher and 2 aides.
Local agency authority is the Palermo Union School District School Board, which meets the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of each month at 7:30 PM at the District Office. | |

| | Staff and parents feel that a child's early development of positive self-esteem and social interaction skills is the basis for all future successes. As such, the Palermo Children Center strives to foster such development, while promoting good parenting skills and understanding that will further those ends. Conjunctionally, Palermo Children Center services enable parents to obtain training, employment and/or family stability.
The morning preschool program expands to encompass school-aged children as they are released from class. Under supervision, children are age-integrated in an effort to provide a family-like environment with inherent role modeling and social interactions. The program is based on the provision of child choices: - to participate in directed or non-directed activities
- to perform errands
- to resolve problems
- to develop self-control
The atmosphere is informal, with a moderately structured routine. Heavy emphasis is placed on staff-child, staff-parent communication and interaction. We feel that a happy child will more readily avail himself of the cognitive and physical enrichment available within the setting. Thus through a warm, secure, but stimulating environment, a child will naturally develop self-help skills and independence, as well as physical and intellectual proficiency. | |
