The DeValles Memorial School-Age Day Care
Program provides a safe and secure haven for
school age children before school hours, after
school hours, during the days of vacations,
holidays, and summer months, in a stimulating,
protected, creative, educational, and humanistic
environment giving particular attention to the
development of self-esteem, self-confidence and
respect for the family, and using the three
learning domains, i.e., cognitive, affective,
and psychomotor as a vehicle to attaining these
goals. Thus, insuring that creativity,
self-reliance, imagination, and physical
development are delivered to the children.
Further, the program staff members are assigned
according to their areas of expertise,
experience, and certification; these particular
groupments include early development and person
to person.
 All staff members who are directly or indirectly
involved with child care must instill
self-esteem and self-confidence into the
children by being very positive with the
children. Further, when children need to be
corrected because the behavior is not in keeping
with the average children, the staff member must
employ positive behavior modification methods,
i.e., methods which build character and good
feelings. Moreover, the child should be referred
to the program counselor and possibly the
Director for additional guidance.
The program has served and will continue to
serve school age children of working parents, of
parents in special training, and parents in need
of individualized special preventive protective
services for the children. Presently the program
services parents and children from 13 public
schools and 2 parochial schools.
