My Project

At our Pre-K center, we have 69 3 to 5 year olds that use our play yard for physical development which is inclusive of fine motor and gross motor skills. As part of our daily routine, our students are required to play outside for 60 minutes. The playground materials I have submitted for this project are going to improve their accuracy, strength and coordination. It works on their core system by developing skills such as throwing, tossing, and balancing. In this project I asked for a raised garden. Our students this Spring will be learning about Gardening and this would be a great opportunity for them to plant and care for a garden of their own and will help bring some green space to our paved yard. Gardening offers a variety of benefits for Pre-K students, helping them develop in multiple areas. Some advantages are motor skills like digging, planting, watering and harvesting help strengthen fine and gross motor skills. Gardening also engages all five senses. Children feel the soil, smell the herbs, hear the rustling leaves, taste fresh veggies, see the growth process. Caring for a garden requires regular attention, teaching children the value of responsibility and the importance of nurturing living things. Gardening promotes a sense of accomplishment and boosts self-esteem. They will be working together which will foster teamwork, communication and cooperation. Growing their own food can spark interest in healthy eating. Incorporating gardening into a Pre-K curriculum creates a hands-on, engaging way for children to learn, grow, and connect with the world around them! Help us Help our young bodies and Minds Spout!
