About Us

Southeast Regional Key (SERK) is one of six regional keys working in partnership with the Pennsylvania Office of Child Development and Early Learning (OCDEL) to develop and implement an integrated and coordinated system of program quality improvements and professional development supports for Early Childhood Education (ECE). As of July 1, 2010, Public Health Management Corporation (PHMC) serves as the SERK provider for the Pennsylvania Early Learning Keys to Quality initiative, a statewide quality improvement program targeting ECE providers.

Infant-Toddler Specialists offer technical assistance and professional development to staff working with infants and toddlers. The services focus on improving health and safety, staff and child interactions and learning programs in infant and toddler classrooms. The project is designed to build Infant-Toddler program quality and ensure better outcomes for young children.

  • SERK Honor Roll

    Public Health Management Corporation’s Southeast Regional Key began its operation on July 1, 2010: nearly one year ago. In order to recognize a few “STARS” who “shine bright” to SERK’s staff, each member of the SERK team has identified a SERK honor roll nominee(s). The nominee(s) are individuals or organization that stood out for various reasons in the eyes of the SERK staff member and, therefore, that we want to recognize and commend for their work.

    Find the full list of nominees here.

  • Thank you for your Participation

    On March 29, 2011, PHMC took part in the Pennsylvania One Book, Every Young Child literacy program, a statewide campaign to highlight the importance of early literacy development in preschoolers ages three to six through a single, shared reading experience. We would like to thank all of the SERK and Out-of-School-Time programs who helped make the event a huge success. More than 9,000 children were read to, throughout sites in Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia Counties.

“My STARS coordinator is very helpful. If I need information and I can’t find it, she’s always able to find it for me.”
