Empowering Children through Education at Our School

Help me give my students an opportunity to thrive in a world that encompasses technology which begins in preschool.

My Project

Every preschooler in the program is embraced with a curriculum that promotes early literacy and math skills, cognitive development, and social-emotional growth—foundations that will set them up for success in school and beyond.

However, these children live in a community where 10% of families live below the poverty line.

Many of them are unable to attend local preschool programs due to financial constraints, or they are placed on long waiting lists. With a growing number of preschool-aged children in the area, the need for accessible early education has never been greater. That’s where this program steps in—bridging the gap and providing these children with the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive.

The goal of this project is to provide each preschooler an innovative tool that will amplify their academic and social skills. These tablets will serve as an introduction to the positive, constructive uses of technology, ensuring that every child, regardless of their learning style or background, has the tools they need to succeed. In a community as diverse as this one, technology will personalize learning for all.Through this project, each child will be able to engage with STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) activities that foster creativity, innovation, and problem-solving skills, preparing them for a future that requires adaptability and critical thinking.

While face-to-face interaction is essential for building social skills, technology has proven to be a vital tool for supporting social and emotional development. Virtual field trips, digital games, and other interactive tools allow preschoolers to explore empathy, self-regulation, and positive behavior in ways that complement traditional learning. These tools not only enhance academic skills but also help children understand their emotions, model positive behaviors, and develop the skills they need to navigate the world around them.
