On sunny days, they're outside building, exploring, and using their imaginations in ways that strengthen both their bodies and their minds. On rainy days, we no longer lose that same spirit of discovery. Indoor play and learning keep the momentum going, so no day feels like a missed opportunity for growth.\r\n\r\nThe impact has been incredible to watch. My students have grown more confident, more cooperative, and more excited to come to school each day. They're developing fine and gross motor skills, learning to problem-solve together, and building friendships through shared play. Thanks to you, every child in my classroom has what they need to learn, grow, and thrive, rain or shine. Your kindness has truly changed our classroom for the better, and I am endlessly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1777990625734,"projectUrl":"project/play-learn-and-grow-rain-or-shine/10246358/","projectTitle":"Play, Learn, and Grow - Rain or Shine!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Christina Newman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5740449_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1783453318251","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/newbu"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_23298","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":572,"numTeachers":41,"percentFrplEligible":43,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":7,"percentWhite":20,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":65,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - K","studentTeacherRatio":"14.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":88.4,"schoolId":23298,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Park Early Childhood Center on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Park Early Childhood Center","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/ossining-union-free-school-district/park-early-childhood-center/23298"}
