Calming Area

Funded Apr 3, 2023

Your generosity has made a remarkable impact on our preschool classroom. Thank You!! Thanks to your generous contribution we were able to establish a calming corner in our preschool classroom. Your compassion and support have made an immeasurable difference in the lives of our students.

Since the introduction of the calming corner, we have witnessed a profound transformation in the classroom dynamics. This safe and nurturing space has provided our students with a haven to retreat to when they are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or in need of sensory regulation. It has become an invaluable tool in fostering emotional well-being and self-regulation skills among our students.

We (the educators in the classroom) were very excited to observe the impact that the calming corner had on our students. At first, they were all very curious about the various textures, colors, and visuals in the available sensory tools, books, and visual aides. They were especially excited when the canopy was installed, so much so that one student ran towards me and gave me the biggest of hugs, he then said: "I LOVE it!! Thank you teacher!"

Soon after that, we were amazed to notice that students demonstrated improvement in their ability to self-regulate emotions with more independence and within less time. The whole class is benefiting from a reduction in behavioral challenges, an improvement in peer relationships, and an enhancement in focus and student engagement.

Your generosity has been instrumental in creating a positive impact on the lives of these wonderful children. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!”

With gratitude,
