My Project

Dear Donor,

We believe that play is a vital part of early childhood development, allowing children to explore, learn, and grow in a fun and engaging way.

With that in mind, we are excited to launch a new project to bring high-quality playtime to our Pre-K students: The Ball Project!

This project aims to provide our Pre-K students with various safe, age-appropriate balls—from soft foam balls for indoor activities to more giant playground balls for outdoor games. These simple tools will allow our students to develop their motor skills, coordination, and teamwork, and create countless moments of joy.

We are asking for your support in making this initiative possible. Your generous donation will help us purchase the equipment to foster a playful and enriching environment for our young learners. Whether it's a small or large contribution, every dollar counts and will impact these children’s lives.
