EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION
Classroom & Staff – Wentzville
In a way to distinguish our rooms at The Morgan School and promote literacy, each room is based on a famous children’s book; children at The Morgan School are exposed to books and reading in a fun and interactive way.
The Morgan School-Wentzville was designed by Hoener Associates, expert architects, specifically in the field of educational facilities. The 15,000 square foot facility provides a safe, nurturing and educational setting for Infants through school-aged children. In addition, the facility provides the appropriate administrative area accessible to all teachers to aid in their preparation of lessons each day. The multi-purpose room provides a place for our students to run and play even when the weather won’t allow us outside.
The Morgan School trademark tower and logo provides an identity for the new facility at the northwest corner of Hwy Z and Perry Cate Road. The exterior materials incorporated masonry (brick and block), siding with gable roofs to articulate and represent the individual pods/ classrooms for each of the individual age children within the facility.
The outdoor space is divided into 3 separate play areas in order to meet the wide range of ages that attend our school. In addition to the 3 playgrounds, the Outdoor Classroom area will provide a space for all ages to explore nature, art, and many other outdoor learning opportunities.
The Morgan School was built to stimulate our students and bring the outdoors in. From the child-level windows in the infant and toddler rooms, to our huge multi-purpose room, attention was paid to even the smallest details.
Come tour our building anytime — no appointment necessary! We are confident that you will see how our building is another Morgan School Advantage!
