DOVER — Morris County Commissioner Deputy Director Christine Myers grabbed a shovel at the Head Start Community Program of Morris County’s Groundbreaking Ceremony in Dover recently to kick off a renovation and expansion project that will bring four new classrooms with upgrades to existing classrooms, and give 16 more children the opportunity to join their programs!
She was honored to represent the County of Morris in congratulating Head Start on its continued success, alongside Senator Bucco, Assemblywoman Dunn, District Director Doucette of Congresswoman Sherrill’s office, Mayor Blackman, and the Town of Dover, Dover Public Schools, the County College of Morris, and the Head Start Board of Directors and Policy Council.
In 2020, the County Commissioners approved renovating county space to open six new classrooms at Morris County’s Central Avenue Complex on Medical Drive in Parsippany, which enabled Head Start to double their capacity to 90 children at that time. A year later, the New York Jets, United Way & NRG also donated a new playground at the facility.
