Growing Strong: Enriching Child Development in Our Classroom
Help me give my students a realistic child development center experience, complete with an infant and toddler room!
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Avalos's classroom raised $797
This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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
The materials purchased through this project will be used to create an engaging, hands-on learning environment that fosters growth and development for each child in our classroom. The diapers, wipes, and infant activity centers will be used to create a simulated daycare center!
Students will learn how to greet the children and their families, foster meaningful relationships, and better their understanding of child development all through an interactive experience.
The materials will be used alongside our RealityWorks Child Care Experience kit! The toys will be a great addition to our infant rooms during the simulation and other projects!
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
