My Project

This school year, help our children to expand their natural curiosity! We would like to add new dot markers, easy grab paintbrushes, kinetic sand, magnetic blocks and multicultural play dough to our art and discovery centers. These materials provide children with numerous ways to engage and explore with their senses while promoting free and purposeful play.

In our classroom, we value open ended creativity and materials which allow children to mold and shape their own learning.

This is an exciting time as we prepare for the start of a new and imaginative school year!
