My Project

We are now the building that houses the community’s PreSchool and Kindergarten classes. This change is affording all of our youngest learners the opportunity to have a reading room. This wipe and erase table and book bins will be utilized in a community room that will serve preschoolers and kindergarteners. We are a new early childhood building and are looking to enhance the large reading room.

This room will provide equity in teaching our youngest learners how to transition from this room to their classroom and back.

It will instill the early literacy skills for imaginative and creative play.
