Early Steps To School Success
Early Steps provides education services to children from birth to age five, support to parents and other caregivers, and ongoing training to community educators. The program is designed to assist children in language, social, and emotional development; to equip parents with the skills and knowledge to successfully support their children’s growth; and to develop strong home-school connections.

Kindergarten Readiness
Kindergarten Readiness is an extension of the Early Steps programming. It targets children aged 3-5 who are not enrolled in a preschool program. Groups meet 3-4 times per month in each community in our county. Caregivers and children receive access to learning activities that help ready children for classroom learning.

Daytime Literacy, After-School and Summer Programming
Programs are designed to support children and their school communities to increase the number of children proficient in reading and math by the 3rd grade. Through in-school, after-school, and summer offerings, children have the opportunity to participate in additional activities designed to accelerate learning.

Together Morgan County Community Collaborative
Save the Children's Community Engagement programming supports kindergarten readiness skills and 3rd-grade proficiency in literacy and math by increasing access to high-quality learning opportunities, growing awareness around the importance of early childhood learning, building capacity among caregivers, and developing partnerships to support local efforts. The Collaborative typically meets on the second Friday of each month at Morgan County Schools' Central Office at 9:00 a.m. EST. Follow our Facebook page, Together Morgan County. (Scan the QR code)

My name is Amanda Woodall. I have worked for Morgan County Schools since 2010. I
currently drive a bus and work with Save the Children. I absolutely love to read, but even more
than that, I love helping children learn to read. It’s amazing to watch a child fall in love with
reading, just as I did at a very young age. I have 1 daughter, Ciara, who just started college. I
also have 2 stepchildren and 5 grandchildren who are my absolute world! My favorite color is
pink, and my all-time favorite movie is The Nightmare Before Christmas! I have a huge collection of
Jack memorabilia at home.
