The leaders did a wonderful job of keeping the children interested in the daily activities, games, and crafts. Their enthusiasm_ was contagious! The children really enjoyed their time at the park. Parents were also very positive about the leaders. The assistant leaders were a fine asset to the program. They were very helpful to the leaders. They brought many ideas to the program. It is especially helpful to have an extra person there to help out when the attendance was high. My background in education has provided me with much experience that I could share with the leaders. It enabled me to help them in their preparations for the playground sessions. I appreciated the fact that the staff was very open to suggestions from me. •
