My Project

What I love most about my students is their natural curiosity, their joy in small discoveries, and the way they light up when they realize they can do something new. Each day, they remind me how powerful early learning is. Whether it's tying a shoe for the first time, recognizing a letter, or making a new friend. Their energy, resilience, and creativity inspire me to give them the best environment possible to grow. My class is also a first time school experience for them so having a warm and organized environment will help the children become more comfortable while using flexible seating.

Younger children learn best through play, hands-on exploration, and structured environment.

Having shelf space with labeled containers enables more diverse and developmentally appropriate activities without overcrowding.

A well-resourced early childhood program prepares children socially and emotionally for elementary school, reducing anxiety and promoting a love of thematic learning using play sets in our dramatic play area.

Having a rug will expand the space which will allow for well-designed early learning classrooms filled with age-appropriate materials, sensory play areas, and quiet zones, all essential for brain development.

My students are special because the first five years of a child's life are crucial for brain development and learning. During this period, children build the foundation for language, emotional regulation, social skills, and cognitive abilities.
