Staff Appreciation 2018-2019

As part of the Week of the Young Child, UAMS Head Start/Early Head Start celebrated its staff with Staff Appreciation Week. Staff were given goodies every day as a way to show them how important they are to the children and families and to the program as a whole. Here’s what they got!
