FEEDBACK FROM PARTICIPANTS

• “Having you at our center on a regular basis, going room to room to demonstrate activities was much better received than reading about this in a handout or manual.” – White Mountain Apache Head Start

• “Staff and children were always excited to see what new activities would be introduced. The menus were also enjoyed by all.” - WACOG
