​💛 Together, We Grow — Help Every Child, Every Family Belong

Picture

Why Your Support Matters Now
Daycare centers and early learning programs are welcoming more children with special needs than in previous years. These children — and the families who love them — deserve classrooms and play spaces that are thoughtfully designed to support sensory, learning, and emotional needs. Without extra resources, many children miss out on the positive early experiences that set the foundation for a lifetime of learning. Your gift helps close that gap and creates a kinder, more inclusive community for everyone.

​At Morgan’s Educational Group, childhood is where the heart of our community is born — a place of wonder, discovery, and belonging. Today, more families than ever are turning to early childhood programs for support, and we are seeing an increased need for specialized care for children with disabilities and developmental differences in daycare settings. Families need compassionate, well-resourced spaces that honor each child’s potential — and that’s where you come in.

​Our Inclusion Initiative & Special Needs Classroom

In honor of our beloved late Jabria Morgan, we’ve launched an inclusive needs-based, adaptive classroom built to meet children where they are and help them reach new heights. This space has calming sensory areas, adaptive learning tools, and engaging sensory stimulators that make learning joyful and hands-on. Our educators have completed specialized training in sensory integration, adaptive curriculum design, and inclusive teaching strategies so every child can feel seen, safe, and celebrated.

​Reimagining Play — A Renovation for Safety, Growth & Green Space

Picture
​Our building and outdoor areas are beloved — but they’re also aging and in need of careful refurbishment. We see the playground as more than a place to burn energy; it’s an outdoor classroom, a therapy space, and a community garden — all in one. With your support, we will transform this worn space into a safe, vibrant, and accessible playground that honors every child’s body, senses, and imagination.
What this renovation will include:
  • Essential safety and refurbishment work
    — Replace weathered surfacing with modern, impact-absorbing materials and safe fall zones; repair drainage, edging, and fences; install shade structures and secure access points so families and staff can feel at ease. These updates will bring our outdoor space up to current safety and accessibility standards.
  • Upgraded equipment to maximize gross-motor development
    — Thoughtfully selected climbing structures, balance beams, low ropes, tricycle tracks, and inclusive swings that encourage running, jumping, climbing, and coordination. Equipment will be arranged to promote developmental progression and encourage confidence, risk-taking in a safe way, and peer play.
  • Inclusive and sensory-friendly design
    — Quiet zones and sensory paths for regulation, inclusive surfaces and ramps for mobility devices, and equipment designed so children of all abilities can play side-by-side.
  • Agricultural aesthetics & a greener outdoor classroom
    — Raised gardening boxes where children can plant, touch, and taste — learning where food comes from while developing fine motor and sensory skills. Native plantings, a sensory garden with fragrant and textured plants, more green groundcover, and shade-giving trees to make the playground a softer, living landscape. These features invite curiosity, teach stewardship, and create a calming, nature-rich backdrop for play.
  • A place for families and community
    — Seating, soft landscaping, and community garden beds where parents, grandparents, and local volunteers can gather, learn together, and help grow the space into a shared place of pride.
This renovation will turn an aging outdoor area into a safe, joyful, and developmentally rich environment — a place where children run, climb, plant, and learn the rhythms of the natural world.
Transform Our Playground


Strengthening Families Beyond Childcare

​Your support also fuels our broader program initiatives — parent workshops, community resources, and wellness efforts — because raising a child is a community effort. These programs give families tools, connection, and hope: practical strategies for daily life, peer support, and access to resources that keep families strong and resilient.

  • Installing safe, accessible playground surfacing, ramps, and fencing to protect every child.
  • Purchasing gross-motor equipment and inclusive play structures that build strength, balance, and confidence.

  • Funding training and professional development so our educators can continue to teach, love, and adapt with skill and heart.
