It offers a comfortable, flexible space where students can engage in instruction, practice social skills, relax when needed, and participate in play-based learning. Having this option helps our students regulate, feel safe, and stay engaged throughout the school day.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has enhanced both learning and play in our classroom, creating a more inclusive and supportive environment for every student.
