Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Hello!

Our Early Head Start program provides family-centered services for low-income families with children 12-36 months.

In our classroom we are missing some very crucial items such as dress up clothes and props.

Why is this important?

Dress-up encourages creative thinking and communication skills. It also helps kids practice language development and their social skills. Playing with another child or adult requires teamwork, cooperation, and sharing.

Most of our children start with no to little communication. These items will help us foster communication. Your donation would mean the world to us. Thank you.
