OUR GOOD NEIGHBOR - HEAD START OF ROCKLAND

The children of Head Start of Rockland interact with the Nyack Senior Center once a month.

The children and seniors work together doing arts and crafts, and sometimes the children perform for the seniors by singing or dancing. The children learn to enhance their social and emotional skills by having self control and knowledge of family and community.

The seniors enjoy watching or helping the children finish their tasks.

The smiles of both the children and the seniors are words that you cannot describe.

Teachers Nancy, Joan,and Grandma Flora
