Preschool teachers wear clear masks to help Ocala preschoolers learn Kiwanis Club of Ocala and Early Learning Coalition of Marion County purchase 2,600 masks Updated: Tags: OCALA, Fla. – Lawmakers are teaming up to give educators clear face masks to help the relationship between students and teachers in classrooms. Faye Goring, owner of Toddler Town Academy in Ocala, received the first box of ClearMasks, on Thursday and said the new mask will change things in the classroom. “When children get to see your face, they are more comfortable with what you’re doing,” Faye said. Goring said wearing a regular mask has made it difficult to teach sounds and words to her preschoolers. She said the ClearMask will allow her to be more visible to her students, which she said is essential for brain development.
