"...does anyone out there know of a childrensPermaculture based learning 
curriculum?"

You should check out:
http://www.sunsationalgreen.com/2009/07/07/water-food-children-and-community/

it's in northern N.M. and Patty Parks-Wasserman will help teach. She started 
the Institute of Permaculture Education for Children which I hope and pray is 
still going. 

As for the curriculum, there are a few great books out there, though not 
specifically "permaculture."
Carolyn Nuttall just published 'Outdoor Classrooms' which should be 
fantastic. I am currently working on a K thru 5 Permaculture-based Arts 
curriculum. I'll post the assembled lessons online as I finished each unit.

Also, visit my website there might be something usefull there.
