My Project

I am looking to provide my preschoolers with hands-on educational toys for learning. My goal is to enhance engagement and foster a lifelong love of learning while developing essential school-ready skills.

Our program serves 3-5 year old preschoolers, encompassing 54 children from diverse backgrounds.

These children will benefit significantly from enhanced learning tools.

The proposed toys will encourage exploration, creativity, and social interaction, ensuring that our students are better prepared for future educational endeavors. I am looking to provide my students with a variety of educational toys, including:

Building blocks for creativity and spatial awareness.

Puzzles to develop problem-solving skills.

Interactive learning games that promote social interaction and teamwork.

Art supplies to encourage self-expression and fine motor development.

These toys will be integrated into daily activities, allowing children to learn through play and exploration.
