Janet Morgan
Dear Prospective Parents,
Welcome to Betton Hills Preparatory Advanced Early Learning Center. I would like to
take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Janet Morgan, and I graduated
from Montgomery County Community College in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, with an
Associate in Applied Science degree in Nursery/Kindergarten Education. I am married to
a “Penn Stater” who is an IT Project Manager for FSU and we have two adult children,
Marian and Ian. This is my fifteenth year of teaching at Betton Hills. In addition to my
direct teaching responsibilities, I also serve as the Director of our Early Childhood
Program.
Betton Hills’ and my philosophy towards education is to develop each child’s whole self,
including the mental, social, emotional and physical aspects. That is why our school
implemented the Core Knowledge Curriculum in 1996. The Core Knowledge
Curriculum was developed by E.D. Hirsch and it has afforded us the opportunity to
provide a solid, specific and sequenced curriculum that allows our students to master or
become more competent in all areas of development. The Core Knowledge Sequence
recognizes that children develop at different rates, so each teacher can individualize their
class as much as possible. In addition to the Core Knowledge Sequence, we must adhere
to the standards set forth in the Florida Pre-Kindergarten Education Standards, Sunshine
State Standards for Kindergarten – Second Grade and Florida’s School Readiness
Standards. The Core Knowledge Curriculum aligned with the Florida Educational
Standards will provide your children with an outstanding educational experience.
