As Mister Rogers would say, "It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood," especially when youngsters know all about community helpers and their role in the community. These two units, one designed for ages two to three and the other for ages three to four, require kids to study a short book, discuss community helpers, become familiar with the buildings in their neighborhoods, and more.
