Quincy Gamache's Story

"Nature-based environments function as a play partner that helps children to transform the perceptual world into a conceptual world, because it diversifies play, is sensory rich and it plays back. When playing in nature-based environments, children have the possibility to connect with it in an interactive way. "*

Quincy is excited to raise funds for his school, Thoreau's, nature-based playground! This brand new space will offer sensory friendly areas for children of all abilities. The community has come together to raise a portion of the funds but we need your help, friends and fam, to bridge the gap!

"the natural spaces will feature elements like winding paths, play houses, musical elements, stepping stones, and seating areas. These areas expand the play space affordably while fostering exploration, open-ended play, and sensory-rich experiences. They also create an inclusive environment that welcomes a wide range of ages, abilities, and play styles, ensuring the playground is a place where every child can find their own way to play and connect."

We know that there are many wonderful ways to give to charity, especially as the world becomes ever more complex and challenging. But if you have some funds to spare for our wonderful public school we would be so grateful. Thanks so much!
