My Project

I work with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers who all have special and unique needs. These materials like stuffed animals and fidget toys are essential in helping me to teach these young children the social skills that they will need to possess to be successful all through school and the rest of their adult lives. We learn problem-solving skills, how to express our feelings, new ways to calm down, how to take turns and share, and how to be a good friend. Young children learn through play and new toys will help keep my kids actively engaged because they are exciting and fun!
