We at Goodstart Rosebud Boneo Rd kindergarten will be forever thankful for the grant we received from AGECS. Our service supports many vulnerable families and children within our community for whom sensory regulation can be challenging in their daily lives. With the grant funding we received we have begun the creation of a sensory room for our children to access in times of stress.
We have been able to purchase a sensory box with accompanying manipulative toys. These are to assist in self-calming and emotional regulation stability. We have purchased plants that give calming scents to the space, lighting to again support the space and some more tactile boards to again allow for regulation exercises. We also managed to sneak in some soft cushioning with the funds. The room is an ongoing project and we are hoping to extend it to a community library of sensory equipment in the future.
Thank you AGECS for all of your support.
