We are deeply grateful for the positive impact this curriculum has had on our students' growth and development.\r\nThrough intentional, developmentally appropriate lessons, our preschool students have strengthened essential cognitive skills, including problem-solving, early literacy, and foundational math concepts. Hands-on activities and structured play have encouraged curiosity, critical thinking, and a love of learning that will serve them well as they progress through their educational journey.\r\nEqually important, the curriculum has played a vital role in nurturing social and emotional development. Students have learned how to express their feelings, manage emotions, collaborate with peers, and develop empathy and respect for others. Daily routines and guided interactions have helped children build confidence, independence, and positive relationships in a safe and supportive environment.\r\nHaving a well-designed preschool curriculum has allowed our educators to meet students where they are, support diverse learning needs, and create meaningful learning experiences that promote the whole child. The skills our students are developing now form a strong foundation for future academic success and lifelong learning.\r\nThank you again for your commitment to early childhood education. Your support truly makes a difference in the lives of our youngest learners.","fullyFundedDate":1752337040000,"projectUrl":"project/growing-brains/9174592/","projectTitle":"Growing Brains!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Toya","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9969615_orig.png?crop=935,935,x261,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752519385003","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9969615"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_56271","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":483,"numTeachers":39,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":22,"percentWhite":7,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":62,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"12.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":39.5,"schoolId":56271,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Benjamin Jepson Magnet School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Benjamin Jepson Magnet School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/connecticut/new-haven-public-schools/benjamin-jepson-magnet-school/56271"}
