Harrison Police Department Santa and Helpers Visit CPW’s United Preschool Center

On December 16, 2022, Santa made an early visit to the students at Cerebral Palsy of Westchester’s United Preschool Center. He was accompanied by officers from the Harrison Police Department, who have been visiting the preschool with Santa for over 18 years and are happy to act as his helpers.

The event was held at Wilson House – a large open indoor space adjacent to the preschool’s main building. Gifts were donated by local residents and distributed by five members of the Harrison Police Department. Students of the United Preschool Center participate in many other festive activities in December. Opportunities are provided both in an out of the classroom for the students to learn about the various winter holidays and a winter music concert will be held in January.
