My Project

This project is aimed at providing multicultural books, puppets, and art supplies to Pre-K students. By incorporating diverse literature, students gain exposure to different cultures, fostering inclusivity and empathy from a young age. The addition of career figures, play food, and puppets enhance storytelling, igniting imagination and language development as children engage in interactive narratives.

Moreover, the inclusion of multicultural art supplies encourages creativity and self-expression, allowing students to explore their identities and express their unique perspectives through artistic endeavors.

Our students hold a unique place in our hearts, and investing in their creative endeavors is fundamental to enriching their joyful learning journey.
