My Project

I am requesting new toys for my 3K students so that I can set up a brand new dramatic play area. My wish for my incoming students is that they have lots of options for imaginative play, where they will learn valuable skills together.

Young children need options and easy to use materials so that they can create and imagine in all sorts of wonderful ways.

Providing them with such tools will create a safe and curious environment.

With your help, I can provide my students with ample center options so that they can pretend play with magna tiles, dolls, and a pretend kitchen! These are known favorites in early childhood.
