Through storytelling, role play, and shared adventures, children will explore ideas of friendship, community, and cooperation in a way that feels natural and joyful.\r\n\r\nYour support helps create a classroom where every child feels safe, seen, and celebrated. These materials will transform our dramatic play and block centers into spaces that nurture kindness, problem-solving, and understanding of the world around us. Every time a child reaches for a puppet or doll, they'll be building social skills, language, and empathy—skills that extend far beyond the classroom walls.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping make our classroom a place where students can dream big, care deeply, and learn through play.
