Pre School Sensory Room

Help me give my students a motivating and engaging sensory room for our 3-5-year-old students.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Reusch's classroom raised $997

This project is fully funded

My Project

We are adding a sensory room to our early childhood center for ages 3-5 and are looking for items to help all of our students meet their sensory needs. Items included, such as a crash pad, walking path, gel floor tiles, bubble tubes, peanut balls, and raindrop swings, can be beneficial for students of all ages, but especially for those with autism, ADHD, sensory processing disorders, anxiety, or special needs. These rooms promote calm and support sensory integration in a therapeutic setting. Our sensory room will be an essential visit for our classes each day in order to set students up for success.
