My Project

I am seeking support to enhance our preschool outdoor learning space with engaging, hands-on materials that spark curiosity and exploration. Items such as a butterfly kit, bubbles, sand, flowers, binoculars, and gross motor turtle stepping stones will allow students to observe nature, build early science skills, and develop creativity through play. These materials encourage sensory experiences, promote language development, and support social interaction as children explore and discover together. With your help, we can create a rich outdoor environment that nurtures a love for learning and the natural world around us.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
