My Project

"My Special Education Pre-K students thrive in a calm, comfortable, and nurturing environment and I teach young children with a variety of developmental needs, including delays in communication, social-emotional development, and self-regulation. For many of my students, the classroom is where they learn foundational skills such as following routines, interacting with peers, expressing their needs, and managing emotions. Many of our young learners benefit from sensory supports and cozy spaces that help them regulate emotions, increase focus, and participate in classroom activities. With your support, we can create a welcoming classroom where every child feels safe, supported, and ready to learn and grow."

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
