Puppets at the Winter Park Day Nursery

Written By: Cora - Oct• 15•12

Erin came to Winter Park in April and we made a visit to the Winter Park Day Nursery, a 501(c)(3) organization that provides affordable, high-quality early childhood education to children in the Winter Park area. Fees are based on family income and 89% of the students come from low income families. I volunteered at this school and was always impressed by the way they support the families as well as the children. They have a food pantry and a clothes closet. Once a week families can purchase low-cost healthy meals to take home. They welcome volunteers and encourage community involvement. We were invited into all the classrooms, even the two-year-olds. It was a fun change of pace to be with such young students.  Two-year-olds think our green hair is normal and our puppets are real!
