My Project

This project aims to provide Pre-K students with a dynamic and inclusive learning environment where they can explore, discover, and grow through play. By introducing high-quality, diverse, and culturally representative play materials, students will not only develop essential social and emotional skills but also be exposed to narratives that promote racial justice and inclusion. These materials will allow children to engage with peers meaningfully, fostering collaboration, empathy, and respect for diversity. By supporting this project, funders will help foster a classroom environment where all students feel seen, valued, and empowered. Through play, our young learners will build essential social-emotional skills and develop a deeper understanding of racial justice and representation, laying the foundation for a more inclusive and equitable future.
