My Project

Barbara Vick Village is a Reggio Emilia inspired, blended preschool program. Our school community is made up of a diverse blend of Hispanic Heritage. We believe the environment is the third teacher; that is why we try to make the classroom feel like a second home for everyone. A place where every student feels safe to explore, welcomed, and cared for. We are asking for materials that represent the unique community that we serve. The cube chairs and tray tables will serve as accommodations for our diverse learners. The lamp, books, bread box, and Día de los Muertos decor will enhance our learning environment this Fall as we learn about our classroom's family traditions. Thank you!
