Kindergarten is often a child's first school experience especially in the urban neighborhood I work at. Most of my children come from low-income homes where their families survive at or below the poverty line and cannot afford basic school supplies. I spend time and money purchasing things like pencils, folders, regular crayons, scissors, and markers to ensure that the children have everything they need in the classroom. Unfortunately, that leaves very little of my own money to pay for the more exciting, special stuff that I need to help make kindergarten an amazing experience.
