My Project

Our pre-k students are naturally curious, enthusiastic learners who love to explore, ask questions, and discover how the world around them works. We want to expand our classroom science center with hands-on resources that will encourage children to investigate, experiment, observe, and make meaningful connections through play.

Materials such as magnifying glasses, discovery tools, sensory materials, science manipulatives, and age-appropriate exploration kits will give students opportunities to examine objects closely, explore cause and effect, make predictions, and develop early problem-solving skills.

These resources will also build important vocabulary, communication, collaboration, and critical-thinking skills while making science exciting and accessible for our youngest learners. With your support, we can create a richer science center where every child can wonder, explore, and see themselves as a scientist!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
