  • Calming Area

    Funded Feb 3, 2023

    Thank you so much for helping fund this project. Providing the materials for a calming area has been such a great way for my kids to go to help regulate their feelings. The tent along with the feeling mirrors, tactile toys are just some items my kids love using. It has become one of the most popular area in my class. It has also turned into a safe haven for my preschoolers. They love going there to read their books as well as cuddle with stuffed toys when they're missing their families or need a break from the class. We really appreciate it!”
