"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up." -Pablo Picasso (1881-1973)
The Facilities Team believes that the physical environment must support the delivery of high quality services to all children and families in Head Start. Facilities, materials and equipment must be selected and maintained to create a learning environment that is safe, welcoming, comfortable, age-appropriate, culturally sensitive and kept within the individual needs of children and families.
The Facilities team not only ensures that our Head Start centers meet, but also exceed the State of California Community Care Licensing requirements which includes requirements for children with disabilities. The Facilities staff are responsible for maintenance, purchasing of supplies and equipment, contract services and ensuring that centers are in compliance with the Head Start Performance Standards for Facilities, Materials and Equipment.
The SETA Operated program is fortunate to have a variety of talented and experienced staff which includes: three past parents, a general contractor, certified welder, journeyman cabinet maker and installer, former Head Start Teachers and a horticulturist.
