My Project

Getting my special needs littles to love school and love reading is a key part of kindergarten. Having a safe and cozy reading corner is a huge part of starting their reading journey. It's so important for my little ones to come to school and have it be a safe space where they can be be excited to come to everyday. Having this little area in my reading corner will create a calming space for them to relax. With stuffies, comfortable seating and some good books, this will allow them to settle in, decompress and relax. Thank you so much for helping my little ones learn to love reading!
