My Project

A new school can be overwhelming for my three and four year old pre-kindergarteners. Most have never been to school before. My goal is create a warm and supportive environment where my littles can learn in a comfortable, safe and familiar environment. I want my classroom to feel like a safe haven where children can recharge and be ready for a day filled with active learning and experimentation.

I am asking for help to build my Cozy Corner, complete with a flexible seating play couch, comfy rug, soft lighting, book stand and a speaker to play calming music.

I will fill the bookstand with beautiful picture books that will teach my students all about their emotions.

Help me gently ease my little ones into the classroom with calm and happiness!
