My Project

I am a sixth-year teacher, who works in an integrated preschool program, which serves students ages three-five. We work with students who require specially designed services, as well as typically developing peers. We provide our students with hands-on learning experiences that are specially designed to meet their needs. Our vision is to, "create a partnership with families, districts, and communities that creates a lifetime of learning through meaningful play experiences, creative thinking, and problem-solving opportunities to build a foundation essential to the unique development of each and every child."

Within our program, we provide the following support services that help the unique and individual needs of every child: speech and language, occupational therapy, physical therapy, social/emotional support, vision, and hearing, etc.

We also support many families that come from an economic disadvantage. We do this by providing our students with as many hands-on, fun-filled learning activities as possible.

My students are ready to learn and are full of energy. They deserve the absolute best and with your generosity, we can help shape the minds of the future!

Special needs preschool students learn best when provided with differentiated, hands-on, visually appealing materials. The donations to this project will help to improve cognitive/preacademic understanding through STEM and fine motor functioning. All of the materials you see here already have a place in our classroom; meaning, my team has already planned for how, when, and where, these materials will be used. We just need your help!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
