My Project

Bring Joyful Art to Every Child’s Fingertips!

Our preschool to first-grade students, especially those with severe autism, need an art room that feels safe and inviting.

Sensory-friendly tools like busy boards, soft toys, and soothing decor will ease transitions, boost focus, and spark creativity. As a dedicated new teacher, I’m eager to transform this space for all 30 students across four classes in our school’s vital program for students with disabilities. Your generosity will build a calming, inclusive haven where every child can giggle, create, and shine. Please help us craft an art experience that embraces every little artist, because they all deserve to feel inspired and valued.
