Tiggers and Eeyores
At Honey Grove, our academic goals for each one of our classes is a progressive set of developmental, age-appropriate specific skills for our teachers to use as guidelines when creating their lesson plans. Students who are enrolled in our pre-school programs participate in many hands-on learning centers that expose children to the different areas of learning. Teachers will facilitate opportunities for learning by using developmentally appropriate materials enabling our students to practice and acquire skills whether working individually, in large groups, or in teacher-directed small groups.

Morgan started with Honey Grove in 2021. She lives in Trafalger with her husband Evan and their two girls, Harper and Quinn, and son named Phoenix. In her free time she loves to read, watch new Netflix shows, and be with her family. Morgan started babysitting at 16 and loved it, so she applied to work at the daycare across from my high school. Growing up her mom ran an “at home” for 7 years so she has just always enjoyed being around kids!
Ms. Morgan has a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education and is eager to apply her knowledge and skills to the program!
