My Project

We seek funding to equip our preschool with flashlights and batteries, enhancing hands-on exploration and learning experiences.

Flashlights offer versatile tools for sensory discovery, storytelling, and scientific exploration.

They stimulate curiosity, spatial awareness, and problem-solving skills in young minds. With flashlights, children engage in shadow play, investigate light and shadow phenomena, and develop early STEM concepts. Furthermore, flashlights enrich dramatic play, fostering creativity and language development. By integrating flashlights into our curriculum, we cultivate a dynamic learning environment that sparks imagination and ignites a passion for discovery. Your support will illuminate the path to joyful learning adventures for our preschoolers.
