Help me give my students the chance to have amazing sensory experiences outdoors! Our preschool children need to experience sand, water, ball fun, sliding, spinning, and rocking to help meet their sensory needs and improve strength and coordination!

My Project
We need a sand table, a climber, a seesaw, and other toys. Outdoor sensory play is so important for preschool children. It helps to enhance their social skills, physical, and cognitive development. Our sensory system is so complex. We receive input through social participation, hearing, vision, taste, smell, touch, balance, and motion.
In a world full of electronic devices, kids need now more than ever a chance to learn and discover using their hands, feet, eyes, and ears.
Developing a safe outdoor sensory experience for our children gives them a place to do just that…learning and growing through play and exploration!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
