it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Dear Donors,
I am excited to share with you a meaningful project aimed at supporting the developmental needs of preschool children through sensory integration.
We are seeking your support to provide a range of carefully selected sensory tools and educational toys, including sensory fidgets, a busy board, sorting toys, cause-and-effect toys (such as a light-up musical elephant), puzzles, large animal figures, adaptive scissors, and sensory puff paint. Each of these materials plays a vital role in promoting key areas of early childhood development. Sensory fidgets and busy boards help improve focus, fine motor skills, and self-regulation, particularly benefiting children who may experience sensory processing challenges. Sorting toys and puzzles encourage cognitive development, problem-solving, and early math skills, while large animal figures support language development and imaginative play. Adaptive scissors foster fine motor control and hand strength, helping children build the foundational skills needed for writing. Sensory puff paint adds a creative, tactile element to art, allowing children to explore texture, color, and self-expression in a fun, engaging way.
These tools are more than just toys—they are critical instruments that support our young learners in building confidence, independence, and the foundational skills they will need for lifelong learning. Your generosity will directly impact their ability to grow, explore, and thrive in a supportive and stimulating environment. Thank you for helping us create a classroom where every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
More than half of students from low‑income households
