My Project

Starting the new school year with a new group of preschoolers can be stressful but with the right tools it can help give preschoolers a head start. Our preschoolers range from 3 to 5 years old with the excitement of learning and making new friends but sometimes having something to hold or a small learning toy can help distract from those feelings of uncertainty. Coloring in a book or playing a matching game can help a preschoolers build confidence! Helping young learners at the beginning of the year will set them up for lifelong learning.
