My Project

Our preschool serves a diverse community of young learners, providing them with a nurturing environment where they can grow, learn, and thrive. Despite our limited resources, we are dedicated to providing our students with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed, both in the classroom and beyond.

Your support will make a tangible difference in the lives of our preschoolers, allowing them to explore their creativity and develop important skills through art.

Being able to provide playdough, stickers, and other art materials to our preschoolers offers numerous benefits beyond just creative expression. These activities support holistic development by enhancing sensory experiences, fine motor skills, social interaction, language development, cognitive abilities, and emotional well-being. By incorporating these materials into the preschool curriculum, we are able to create a rich and stimulating environment that nurtures each child's unique talents and abilities.

Ms. Christina will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by July 21.
