My Project

A cozy corner provides a safe space where children can relax, reflect, and manage their emotions. Donating materials helps create an environment where young learners can calm down and feel secure.

With cozy play like pillows, rugs, soft toys children can explore their imagination and engage in independent or small group, activities, fostering, creativity, and self regulation.

Cozy corner provide an ideal space for children to practice, social skills, like sharing, or taking turns, and helps navigate emotions, providing emotional growth. A cozy corner can be a quiet spot for children to focus on individual tasks like reading or quiet play, which helps improve attention span.

By supporting this project, you’re giving these children the chance to engage in activities that lay the foundation for a lifetime of learning.
