My Project

Our pre-kindergarten students thrive on learning through play. In pre- kindergarten we learn many different ways, especially through various centers we have set up in our classroom.

Our dramatic play area could use a new blender, mixer, coffee maker, shopping cart, and dolls.

Our students use their fine motor skills during play. These much needed new materials will have our students using their finger muscles, as well as hand- eye coordination while not even realizing!

Our science center would become much more inviting with a light table that is battery operated. With your help we will be able to give our students what they need to thrive in pre-k!

We would like to thank you in advance for choosing to support our project!
