My Project

Our PreK, located within a public school, doesn't charge parents---but it also doesn't provide funds for replenishing supplies. I received funding for our first year and purchased enough paint to last for the past 6 years. Now, that supply is just about gone.

Allowing children free access to paint and other art supplies is a necessity in an early childhood classroom.

Having a supply of the primary colors in finger paint and tempera paint will go a long way to allowing this opportunity. Forty-eight four and five-year-olds will be so thankful for your donation.
