My Project

Thank you for stopping by this Donors Choose page. We appreciate you considering our current project. Our current project is to get more books and visual resources that promote diversity and multiple cultures.

By supporting our project, items that reflect different cultures, backgrounds, and experiences, our pre-k can create a rich learning environment that helps children understand and appreciate differences from an early age.

Books are an excellent choice for promoting multicultural diversity in preschools. Stories that feature characters from various racial and ethnic backgrounds help children see themselves in different roles and learn about cultures outside their own.

Donations to our preschool that focus on race awareness and multicultural diversity are crucial in shaping young minds. Thank you for any support you place towards this project.
