My Project

My kindergarteners are naturally curious, imaginative, and full of wonder. They see the world with fresh eyes and a fearless willingness to explore, create, and connect. I love the way they dive into play with purpose—turning the ordinary into something magical.

The 3-in-1 Dramatic Play Center will serve as a flexible, open-ended space where children can take the lead in their play—whether they’re running a café, creating a home, or acting out community roles.

It encourages collaboration, storytelling, and meaningful social interactions.

The Pop-Up Toaster and Teapot & Cups Set bring everyday objects into their world, helping students make sense of the routines and relationships they see in their own lives. These realistic materials invite dialogue, empathy, and language development—all through the power of pretend.

In a Reggio-inspired classroom, materials are more than toys—they are provocations that spark ideas and invite students to express themselves in new and beautiful ways.
