My Project

Our preschoolers are natural scientists, curious, imaginative, and eager to explore the world around them. With your support, we hope to bring exciting STEM and science materials into our classroom, such as magnets, simple machines, building tools, sorting, and insects! These hands-on resources will encourage creativity, problem solving, and collaboration as children investigate, build, and learn through play. Your generous donation will help create a meaningful learning experience that sparks curiosity and a love of science at an early age. Thank you for supporting our little learners as they grow and discover each day!
