A group of local volunteers got together and constructed a beautiful, new playhouse for area children to play in! Volunteers from the United Way of Greater Lima pulled out the power tools and put together a 6-foot long, 5-foot wide, and 7-foot high cedar wood log cabin playhouse along with a garden center. The new playhouse and garden center was built at the West Ohio Cap Early Learning Center area for the children in the Head Start program, giving them a safe place to learn and play. Volunteers say building the playhouse is a great way to give back to the community.

Kindergartners-to-be are getting a "head start" in preparing for school. Monday was the first class for the West Ohio CAP's Head Start program. Organizers say around 150 students are enrolled in the program and is held in several different locations throughout the city. The kids attend the program for six hours a day, as they learn some of the things they will need to know, so they're ready to head to school for the first time.
