My Project
Exploration trays provide hands-on experiences, allowing children to engage their senses and develop fine and gross motor skills.
Our PK students display a natural curiosity about the world around them.
They are eager to explore, ask questions, and engage in hands-on activities that stimulate their inquisitive minds.
Outdoor play has positive effects on children's emotional well-being. It offers a space for self-expression, stress relief, and the development of a positive attitude toward physical activity. These trays will help us fill them with various materials so children have more to engage with than just the playground.
Children learn to share, cooperate, and communicate with their peers during outdoor play. Exploration trays can be designed to promote group activities, fostering social skills and teamwork.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
