My Project

We love working with our energetic pre-kindergarten students each year! The classrooms I am in each day are full of fun, creative, pre-kindergarten students who are excited to come to school and always eager to learn!

The pre-kindergarten years have such an impact on fostering a love of learning.

Our classrooms services students ages 3-5 years old, located in central Illinois. The play-based pizza restaurant, sandwich shop, laundry accessories, and ice cream shop are the perfect size to bring into classrooms to work with students to encourage language, social, and academic skills among students. The horse grooming set and vegetable cutting set will be a great resource for us to encourage language and fine motor skills as well. As a special education teacher working in multiple pre-kindergarten classrooms, I would love to be able to offer these language-based, hands-on experiences to encourage language, social, fine motor, and academic skills with these fun and exciting materials!
