Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

These essential learning toys- pretend food, people figures, alphabet and number toys, color sorting sets, and animal figures will make a significant difference in the education of our special needs preschoolers. These items foster cognitive development, motor skills, and social interactions in ways that traditional teaching methods often cannot. Our goal is to create an engaging , inclusive learning environment where every child can thrive. Each student is unique, with distinct needs and potentials, and these toys will help address their individual challenges and strengths, ensuing they receive the support necessary to flourish in their early educational journey.
