My Project

Our extensive support needs special education preschoolers learn in unique ways, but one thing they all benefit from is repetition and reinforcement. One way we do that in our play-based learning environment is to provide as many opportunities as possible to expose them to learning content that is fun and motivating.

Help us provide pre-literacy puzzles to our preschoolers!

They love puzzles, but unfortunately, they are bored with the five puzzles we have in the classroom.

We would love to provide our kids with fun puzzles that get them learning their letters and numbers!
