Outdoor time requires extra coordination since several of our students have mobility issues and require additional support -even when extra staff isn't available. It's quickly become our \"home base\" for outdoor time, making it easier for teachers and service providers to take students in and out one at a time to practice important gross motor skills\r\n For the first time, every student was able to enjoy recess together. The excitement on their faces as we ventured outside for a group ride was unforgettable—there was laughter, curiosity, and pure happiness all around. Students from several other classes also wanted a turn to ride, which created sweet moments of inclusive interactions between students with IEP and their typically developing peers. \r\n Your generosity has opened the door to more inclusive experiences, allowing our students to explore, connect, and enjoy the world beyond the classroom. You didn't just fund a stroller—you helped create moments of freedom, friendship, and discovery for every child in our care.","fullyFundedDate":1758832616151,"projectUrl":"project/wheels-of-inclusion-helping-every-child/9645054/","projectTitle":"Wheels of Inclusion: Helping Every Child Explore","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Susan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9456424_orig.jpg?crop=1202,1202,x0,y124&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755976141957","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9456424"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_63648","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":220,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":78,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":19,"percentWhite":9,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":55,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - Pre-K","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":70.5,"schoolId":63648,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Bucks Hill Prekindergarten on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Bucks Hill Prekindergarten","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/connecticut/waterbury-public-schools/special-education-pre-school/63648"}
