My Project

Our preschoolers are in need of a special after school environment.

These materials will help create a safe, caring space for them to bond and unwind after a long day.

The arts and crafts projects are essential as they learn to use materials correctly. They can explore their imagination and create things for loved ones or keep in the classroom to admire and share with friends. Some of these items will be used during outdoor play time.

We anticipate this special aftercare environment to be something for our little ones to look forward to. They will be able to bond, create ,explore and learn!
