At PACC, our mission is to sustain and strengthen ties to Palestinian heritage while empowering the success and well-being of the entire community.
We are by the community and for the community and we are committed to continuously improve the quality and delivery of our programs to meet your needs and levels of satisfaction.
Through our programs we are committed to the following:
We have programs for every age in our community and we are so happy that we can serve you!
Each class will be capped at a maximum of around 12 students so that we can ensure quality.
We have created alternate schedules for our programs to maximize flexibility.
Our classes will be focused on age and level to make sure our participants are getting the most benefit.
With all this we are offering a special discount to our PACC family! In order to qualify for the PACC Family Discount, all you have to do is give us the names, ages and contact information of everyone in your household and pay an annual fee of $50 per household!
The health and safety of our participants and staff remain our highest priority. Below, you will find a summary of our COVID-19 Safety Guidelines to help ensure we are lowering the risk of spreading COVID-19 as much as possible.
If any participant tests positive with Covid, we request that the participant not come to the center for 5 days from the first day of exhibiting symptoms. On day 6, the participant is welcome back, but is required to wear a mask for an additional 5 days.
Staff and participants are recommended but not required to wear a mask or face covering throughout their duration at PACC.
PACC will be providing masks for anyone who asks for one.
If a participant does get sick at PACC, we have identified an area where they can rest, be watched after, and safely isolate themselves from others. Any child who is sick will be sent home. We will communicate with parents or caretakers directly.
If any participant is feeling any Covid-19 symptoms, we ask that you please stay home and get tested. Once you are tested, if you test positive, please inform our office administration of your results.
In the event of a participant missing classes due to testing positive with Covid-19, we can provide a virtual option when appropriate. If not possible, then we will arrange for classes to be made up during our make-up week or through other classes that are available.
All of our Winter 2023 programs will run for a total of ten weeks.
First week: Saturday, January 7, 2023 to Friday, January 13, 2023
Last week: Saturday, March 11, 2023 to Friday, March 17, 2023
