This year's holiday gift drive focuses on the idea of developing children's language skills, problem solving skills and executive functioning skills (planning, organization, self control, perseverance, working memory).   They will also learn about teamwork and sportsmanship as they play with friends and family.  

The goal of It Takes a 'Hood is to promote the learning of preschool literacy and math skills.  Through our holiday gift drive, we are able to provide families with toys that can promote necessary skills children will need to succeed academically, socially and emotionally in school.
