Bridging the Gaps for Preschoolers With Special Needs!

Help me give my students a beautiful classroom to learn in. I am opening a brand new classroom for Pre-K students with special needs and these are some of the items I know they would love!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Michelle's classroom raised $1,335

This project is fully funded

My Project

My school is opening a brand-new classroom for preschool students with a variety of special needs. These are children who are age 3-5 who have been identified as students who would benefit from early intervention. And research has proven over and over how early intervention can change the trajectory of a child’s life!

In this classroom, my goal is for every student to thrive, regardless of their learning needs.

With your support, we can bridge the gaps and ensure that all my preschool students—whether they have physical disabilities, learning differences, or social-emotional needs—have the supplies necessary for a fun and enriching learning experience.

Your generosity will provide specialized toys, manipulatives, and learning tools designed to support diverse learning needs, fostering an atmosphere where every student can excel.

By supporting this initiative, you're helping create classrooms where early learning will take place, regardless of student challenges, they all will have the resources to reach their full potential. Join us in making education more accessible and inclusive for these preschoolers.
