Did you know that 90% of brain development happens BEFORE the age or 5? Kindergarten is a magical year where lots of growth happens. My students come from diverse backgrounds and circumstances and their early childhood opportunities vary creating a gap when they enter into the classroom. Play-based kindergarten equalizes those opportunities. The materials that you'll be supporting with your donation will help support students to fill the opportunity gap, allowing students to thrive and flourish.
