My Project

I consider myself incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to work with a diverse group of students, each with their own unique qualities. My students are engaged in a wide range of learning experiences, from mastering letters and taking their first steps to exploring colors, cutting, and pasting, as well as gaining independence in self-care tasks. Together with my dedicated staff, our goal is to support each student in achieving their personal milestones and learning objectives.

Imaginative toys play a crucial role in the development of preschoolers for several reasons.

Firstly, these toys encourage creativity, allowing children to explore different roles, scenarios, and worlds. By engaging in this play, preschoolers develop their cognitive and social skills as they create, narrate, and interact with their make-believe environments. Additionally, imaginative toys promote language development as children articulate stories and communicate with others during play. Furthermore, these toys foster problem-solving skills as children navigate through imaginary situations and come up with creative solutions. Please help me give my students a wooden doll house, wooden family car, pretend and play cleaning, pretend food and coffee maker, wooden police station and fire station, and more.
