Diana Mahabeer Morgan

Preschool Teacher

As a preschool teacher, I feel fortunate every day to spend my time with a group of children who bring joy, curiosity, and endless energy into the classroom. Each child enters the room with their own personality, strengths, and developing skills, and together they form a unique community of learners.

My kids are at an exciting stage of growth where small moments—tying a shoe, sharing a toy, or singing a rhyme—represent big achievements. Some are outgoing and love to lead, while others are quieter observers who prefer to watch before joining in. What amazes me is how they learn from each other: one child’s excitement to build a tower inspires another to try stacking blocks higher, and a kind gesture during play teaches everyone about friendship.

Language is blossoming in so many ways. Some of my children are beginning to form clear sentences, asking questions about the world around them, while others are just starting to experiment with new words. No matter their level, every effort at communication is celebrated because it shows courage and growth. During circle time, I love hearing their voices join together in songs and stories, even when the words tumble out in unexpected ways.

The classroom is also a place where independence begins to shine. I watch proudly as my kids learn to wash their hands, pour their own water, and put on their coats with determination. These simple daily routines build confidence that extends far beyond the classroom.

Most importantly, my children are learning what it means to belong to a community. They are practicing kindness, patience, and empathy. I often see one child comfort another with a gentle pat or hear them remind each other to “take turns.” These are the seeds of lifelong values, planted in the early years of learning.

As their teacher, I not only guide their academic and developmental progress but also share in their laughter, discoveries, and small triumphs. My kids remind me daily why teaching is such a rewarding profession. Each of them brings something special to our classroom, and together they make it a place filled with warmth, curiosity, and endless potential."
