BCCS Steps Toward Tomorrow Walk

Funds raised for Barbara C. Wilson Preschool (BCW) will support essential tools and spaces that help our youngest learners communicate, regulate, and participate more fully in their school day.

Early Communication Support (AAC Devices)
Some preschoolers need Augmentative & Alternative Communication (AAC) tools to express their needs, make choices, and interact with teachers and classmates. Walk funds will help BCW purchase AAC devices and support a readiness and assessment program so students can begin using communication tools right away, rather than waiting for approval and assignment through the Department of Health and school districts. This ensures children have a way to be heard during this critical stage of early development.

Indoor Sensory Movement Hallways
Young children learn through movement and environmental exploration. Funds will support the development of indoor interactive sensory hallway spaces that provide safe, structured opportunities for movement and sensory play when weather prevents outdoor time. These spaces help preschoolers regulate their bodies, build coordination, interact with their environment and each other and provide an additional opportunity to learn.
