Bannon Moran is a preschool educator at Smiley Days Childcare Center in Audrain County. She is using the TEACH Early Childhood® Missouri Scholarship to complete her Associate degree in Early Childhood Education at Moberly Area Community College. 

‘My life and career have changed significantly due to the TEACH Missouri scholarship. I love working with children and making a positive impact on their lives. I am now able to engage confidently in discussions with other teachers regarding my students' progress. The classes on assessment have equipped me with the skills to view each child as an individual and tailor my teaching to their specific needs. 

Professionally, this scholarship has positioned me to grow as an educator and make a more meaningful contribution to the early learning community. Personally, it has boosted my confidence and fueled my passion for transforming the lives of the children I work with.’
