How does your student prepare for kindergarten? 🍎 At our Children’s Learning Center, kindergarten prep looks a little different. Students who are set to become braille readers will first need to be prepared with pre-braille skills. These are meant to enhance the student’s tactile capabilities essential for reading braille. Young students will learn concepts such as being able to distinguish differences and similarities, tactile awareness and perception, and honing fine motor abilities through hands-on exploration of objects and cooperative hand use. πŸ™Œ Ezra is just one of the incredible students enrolled in our preschool program. This Giving Tuesday, November 28, join us in making a difference and supporting the growth of students like Ezra.❀️ Your contribution will help us pave the way to a brighter future for students by setting them up with the tools they need to be successful in the elementary school classroom. 🏫 🐞 Donate Now! https://bit.ly/3XH4zkK #GivingTuesday #GT #GivingTuesday2023 #nonprofits #tuesdaytransformation #kindnessiscontageous #community #giveback #donatenow #nonprofitorganization #nvblindchildren #children #visualimpairments #braille #literacy #brailleskills

Meet Amir, a long-time student in our after-school programs. His favorite program is CookingπŸ‘¨β€πŸ³ where he has learned how to make recipes like chicken enchiladas and everyone’s favorite – mug cake! 🍰 Behind his tasty creations, he’s learning valuable life skills such as being able to navigate the kitchen and use utensils and appliances – all skills that will help him live a more independent lifestyle. Join us in making a lasting impact on more children’s lives by setting a reminder to contribute to NBCF this Giving Tuesday, November 28. ❀️ Your support ensures that programs like Cooking continue to prioritize the development of essential skills students like Amir need to gain independence, confidence and the opportunity to thrive.

Our early education programs, such as our preschool and toddler program Dots & Tots, support students in reaching their full potential to best service them in the future. Meet Damien, one of our students who is growing more independent everyday thanks to these early intervention skills. Early Intervention is essential for children with any disability, but babies and toddlers experiencing visual impairments or blindness present unique challenges. According to the National Library of Medicine, "Studies have shown that the key sense for learning and the primary source for sensory information input is vision, and the majority of a child’s early learning is gained through this sense.” This means that as a child grows, limited sensory input can cause cognitive, physical, and social challenges. Early Intervention is available for free for children under the age of 3 years old. Your support this Giving Tuesday, November 28, can contribute to continuing Early Intervention services for students like Damien in making critical milestones throughout their development. Be a part of their brighter future and donate now through November 28! ❀️ 🐞 https://bit.ly/3XH4zkK #GivingTuesday #GT #GivingTuesday2023 #nonprofits #tuesdaytransformation #kindnessiscontageous #community #giveback #donatenow #nonprofitorganization #nvblindchildren #children #visualimpairments
