Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

In our preschool program, we recognize the pivotal role of play in early childhood development, particularly the benefits of block play. We're seeking to enhance our block center to provide richer learning experiences for our young learners.

The requested blocks, including traditional wooden, unit, magnetic, and themed sets, will offer diverse tactile experiences and promote creativity, problem-solving, and social interaction.

Their inclusion fosters inclusivity and accommodates varied developmental needs.

We aim to foster creativity, critical thinking, social skills, language development, and fine motor skills through enriched block play, nurturing holistic development.

Our students are distinguished by their curiosity, resilience, and empathy. They approach learning with enthusiasm, adaptability, and a collaborative spirit, creating a vibrant and inclusive learning community.
