My Project
Preschoolers are continually active and busy students. It takes a lot to keep their focus and attention. Our classroom centers need some replacements for old and broken things as well as some brand-new classroom items. Our block center and dramatic play centers are busy places in preschool. The play in these centers are sometimes rough and the materials there are very worn out. The plates, pans, and food will replace our damaged or lost items and will be enjoyed and played with on a daily basis. The block cabinet will organize our soft block set and make more room in the block center for other materials.
By donating to this project, you are giving so many learning materials for our dramatic play and block center for our preschool for students to develop social and language skills.
The students learn so much when interacting with these materials. They learn to use their imagination, take turns, self-regulate, and best of all - make friends. Thank you so much for supporting early childhood education.
More than half of students from low‑income households
