My Project

Our youngest students are just beginning their educational journey and have spent little time having to sit in a group setting. Throughout their educational journey, students will spend time sitting on the carpet for circle time and be seated at tables or desks for lessons for many years.

Please help set them up for future educational success by providing them with the tools to help them gain the ability to sit and focus.

These flexible seating options will allow students to sit and move on the carpet without distracting others, stay in their own space, and move their feet while seated at the table. Lastly, the weighted stuffed animals will provide the students with comfort when filled with anxiety and discomfort.
