Willis Early Child Development Center
|
Willis Early Child Development Center |
|
| The
Willis Early Child Development Center is located on L.P. Miller and
has a capacity of 17 children. The Housing Authority of Murray envisioned
a day care center for residents, and Head Start responded with staffing.
The Center has remained at capacity since the doors opened in 1999,
and many remain on a waiting list. |
 |
 Computer
programs, interactive educational toys, arts and crafts, as well as a large
shaded outdoor play area are just a few of the opportunities provided to
children here. Plus, the small setting makes every child feel like they
are special. The Housing Authority would like to extend a big THANK YOU
to Head Start for the tremendous work they do everyday! |
