Community Center Shares Life with Children and Parents
Mrs. Haynes describes a warm integrated child center where teachers and volunteers guide music, art, and social play. Children arrive from 7:30 to 9, sign in with parents, and are kept from leaving with nonparents unless authorized. The center emphasizes learning through interaction, coats off quickly, and supervised activities, with snacks and seasonal trips. Fees range 5.50 to 12.50 weekly, funding aided by the Thrift Shop.
