Because of your generosity, our outdoor learning space has become a vibrant environment where children can move, explore, and imagine every single day.\r\nThe new materials (hula hoops, construction vehicles, dinosaurs, balls, and the water play center) have brought so much joy and excitement to our classroom community. Students are using the hoops and balls to practice coordination and balance, the vehicles and dinosaurs to spark storytelling and collaborative play, and the water center to engage in rich sensory experiences that inspire curiosity and early scientific thinking. These hands‑on opportunities help students build friendships, solve problems, and express themselves through play.\r\nThe new storage shelf has also made a big difference, helping children take responsibility for the materials and gain independence as they learn how to care for their outdoor space.\r\nOur preschool classroom includes students from VPK, Head Start, and special needs programs, and every child has benefitted from the inclusive, developmentally appropriate experiences this project provides.
