My Project

We know that children learn best through play and when they are happy and engaged in tasks. These toys will help children to develop pre-academic skills through play. The puzzles will support children's development of colors, shapes, and numbers.

The squigz not only support fine motor development and help develop the muscles for writing, but they are also an opportunity to explore STEM concepts and creativity.

The letter popsicles and counting cans will allow students to explore numbers and letters while playing in the dramatic play area. This type of learning through play helps build connections and supports students well into their future.
