Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My preschool students are so special! They come to school every day ready to learn and have fun. Their joy is contagious and I feel so lucky to have the greatest job in the world!

The toys in this project are intended to be used to facilitate engaging and purposeful outdoor pretend play opportunities.

Children love being outside and we are working to improve our outdoor areas to make it a preschool appropriate environment. Any help you can give towards our goal is greatly appreciated! These sturdy outdoor toys will bring many years of joy to the children at Dore Early Learning Center.
