A great helper in our Preschool!

Miss Morgan is a phenomenal teacher!! She thoroughly takes time in preparing her classroom and giving her full attention to teaching and educating. Miss Morgan truly cares about each on of her students and that is truly felt as you enter her preschool. She has an excellent curriculum for the students and my son LOVES all the fun dynamics that she incorporates into her lessons. Miss Morgan also does a great job of keeping the parents informed of everything that is going on by way of newsletters, calenders and website. I looked around and found no other preschool that could offer what Miss Morgan offers. I am VERY impressed with Brilliant Beginnings Preschool and I highly support and recommend it!! I would not send my children anywhere else!
-Erica (Mother of 2)

Brilliant Beginnings Preschool has more than exceeded my expectations. I'm amazed at how much my daughter has learned so quickly. She's excited about learning and loves going to school. Miss Morgan is a wonderful teacher; she's professional, prepared--and fun! I know she loves my daughter and has her best interests in mind. I couldn't ask for a better preschool for my child!
-Kim (Mother of 2)

"I couldn't be more impressed with Miss Morgan and Brilliant Beginnings Preschool. My child is learning so much weekly and I can't believe all the new things she can do. The kids are so excited to attend preschool and wish every day they could visit Miss Morgan. Miss Morgan runs a very efficient, organized and prepared classroom that makes learning fun and exciting. My child comes home with creative projects and papers that reinforce and coordinate with those things they are focusing on in class that week. Miss Morgan is energetic, spunky, happy, caring and professional. I know she deeply cares for my child and wants them to succeed. I also really appreciate that she keeps us parents well informed with calendars, newsletters, emails and website updates. We just love Miss Morgan and think she is the best and would HIGHLY recommend Brilliant Beginnings to everyone we know!"
-Anne (Mother of 2)

Miss Morgan is perfectly suited to be teaching young children. Her lessons are silly and memorable--each day is filled with singing, games, artwork, and laughter. While she makes learning fun, her no nonsense approach to cleanliness and safety in the classroom will put you at ease about leaving your kids in her competent hands. Simply put, Brilliant Beginnings is just what you've been looking for!
-Erin (Mother of 3)

"I love Brilliant Beginnings Preschool for my son. He has learned so much beyond my expectations. The class size is small, which I love, because my son gets more individualized attention from Miss Morgan. He comes home and talks about the things he has done. I often catch him singing songs that he has learned at school. I love that the focus is on the alphabet and that the curriculum is designed to focus on a different letter each week. He recognizes letters and letter sounds and tells me the the letters that he recognizes. My older son went to 2 years of preschool somewhere else and my son at Brilliant Beginnings has already learned more in one year than my older son did in two years. The things they learn are relevant to what they need to know going into kindergarten and I am excited that my son has one more year at Brilliant Beginnings Preschool. He will be well prepared for kindergarten."
-Amee (Mother of 4)

"Miss Morgan has been nothing but professional, caring, creative, energetic, thoughtful, fair and hard-working. I love Brilliant Beginnings Preschool so much. I love the high standards and the flow and pace that is set. I believe an above average program is run at Brilliant Beginnings. Miss Morgan does an amazing job. The kids (and their moms) need her. I appreciate all the time, energy and love that she puts into her program!"
-Jessica (Mother of 2)

"I searched every where for a preschool I felt comfortable with. Brilliant Beginnings has provided everything I was looking for. Small class size, personal attention, homely feel but very professional and organized, social aspect with fun learning and reasonable rates! After having other children and relatives in 5 different preschools, this is the best! At only age 3, I have been amazed at the things my daughter has already learned. She thrives in school and cries on the days she can't go. Miss Morgan is a very talented teacher and always strives to go above and beyond in her classroom. I have not found that any where else."
-Brittanie (Mother of 3)

"Miss Morgan is very hands on. She is always very professional, and keeps a very clean and presentable classroom. She gets gets to know each child and their families on a personal level and keeps parents well informed through newsletters, calendars and emails. She also disciplines when needed, very positively and respectfully."
-Marie (Mother of 3)

A little bit about myself, Miss Morgan.
My love for working with children really started at a preee-tty young age. It is definitely safe to say that I have ALWAYS enjoyed working with preschool age children. Always!

At 16 years old, I jumped with joy at the opportunity I was given to work as a Child Care Provider & Assistant Preschool Teacher for a local day care. Yep, I was merely 16! It was my dream job. I couldn't wait to leave highschool on the days that I got to work at the Preschool.

As a senior in high school, I completed a full-year internship at Timpanogos Elementary School in Provo Utah. I spent my weekday afternoons in a 1st grade classroom! It was AWESOME. I worked alongside the teacher, focusing on phonics/reading and teaching the students sign language.

After I graduated from high school, I furthered my training and education at Utah Valley University in Orem Utah, in the Early Childcare and Education Program.
While attending UVU, I worked as an Onsite Coordinator for Grandview Elementary School in Provo Utah. Where my job included; organizing and running an after-school program, teaching Pre-K summer school, working as a student advocate and well, filling in as a substitute teacher (my favorite!).

My most recent job, before "retiring" to be a stay at home mom, was as a Teacher for Adventure Time Preschool/Daycare, also in Provo Utah.

My ultimate goal through all of the above training and schooling, was to open my own Preschool.
I am happy to say that I have accomplished that goal!

In 2004, My husband and I built our first home. We specifically designed the basement as a classroom, knowing that I would one day teach there.
Well, the basement sat with it's cement floor and walls for awhile as we put our energy into starting our family.
In 2007 we decided that it was finally time. We completed the basement and went to work putting our business, with all that starting a business entails, together.
In 2008 I began teaching, fully enrolled.
Now, I'm doing the job that I love, and enjoying every minute of it!

You want additional information don't you?!
I was born and raised in Utah. Didn't go far did I? My roots are deep and I love it here.
I have two children. A 5 year old daughter and a 2 year old son.
I am an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and currently serve as Primary President in my ward. I don't have any pets and I love Reading, Chocolate Milk and Popcorn.


I look forward to hearing from you, meeting you,
and above all teaching your wonderful children.

For The Children

I want the children to feel a sense of safety and security while in my classroom. I want them to feel love and acceptance, individuality and challenge, direction and purpose.
I will create a classroom with all of these aspects; an environment which will allow
the children to learn and grow.


For The Parents

I will work to create and maintain a good relationship with the parents of my children. I will provide detailed information on classroom activities, goals and progress feedback. I want each parent to feel comfortable leaving their child in my classroom, with the knowledge that their child is safe and well taken care of. I desire to form a partnership with each parent, to be approachable as a teacher and to make sure that each parent knows just how thankful I am for their children.


For Myself

I will do everything I can to see that each need is met within my classroom. I will do what is necessary to make sure each child knows that I care for them and that I want them to succeed. Their development is important to me. I commit myself to continual learning and training. I will strive to help each child develop at his or her own pace. I will continually incorporate new ideas and keep my children excited about learning. I will provide a curriculum that is both fun and challenging and I will encourage the growth of each individual student and their amazing mind!
