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

The right furniture can facilitate a child's development by providing a space designed specifically for their size and needs. Moreover, it allows them to feel independent, engage in imaginative play, and learn through interaction with their surroundings all while contributing to positive classroom management and overall learning experience.

By donating to our project, you will help us provide a safe, comfortable, and appropriately scaled environment.

Students will be able to access learning materials more easily and explore their environment on their own. In addition, child-sized furniture can be safer for children to use and will help them develop healthy posture and prevent fidgeting.
