CAPA together with Association of
Chinese Americans would like to set up a
Community Playroom for Children with
Developmental Challenges.
The proposed playroom occupies 500 square feet of space and is equipped with stimulating toys, fine and gross motor, and sensory integration equipment. Its objective is to provide a supporting environment where parents can relax, have fun and at the same time, work on play activities that will stimulate their Special Needs children. The playroom is open to the entire community. We need your support to make this project a
reality!
Please click here to fill in the SURVEY form to help us understand how valuable this project can be to the community. If the responses from parents are overwhelmingly favorable, then we are on solid ground to pursue funding opportunities and make it happen. |
