My Project

Play is a child’s context for learning. It allows them to build cognitive skills, language skills, social skills, and more.

Your donation will help transform our classroom space by creating activity centers that will support children's play and learning.

In this transformed space, my Deaf and Hard of Hearing students from 1-3 years old will have the opportunity to cook a meal or rock a baby to sleep in the home center, enjoy a book in the literacy center, or get their hands dirty in the sensory center.

Let's Play!
