My Project

Teacher week! We are looking to fund a project that will benefit our entire early childhood center. Each year we go through large quantities of paint, food items(sensory play), and paper. With a center of 120 students most of the teachers are spending money by the middle of the year to keep our students engaged.

Let them play and explore.

These items will allow our classes to do more play based exploration into the five sense, science, and sensory play. We want to give all of our students the chance to experience curiosity and play, as some may not have the means to do so outside of our school.

We are so thankful that our district is able to provide free preschool for the residents, and now we are looking to make sure we are providing them with the best experiences while they are in our care.
