CYFS gives gift of creativity
The Nebraska Center for Research on Children, Youth, Families and Schools extended the gift of creativity to impoverished children, families, and schools in and around Nebraska during the 2009 holiday season. The importance of creative experiences in children’s lives is well understood. Unfortunately, many children living in low-income conditions have no materials in their homes and few in their classrooms. As a result, direct access to colors, paints, and other such materials is extremely limited for these impoverished and disadvantaged children.
