Feedback from the CMU Child Development and Learning Lab Director On Morgan Rothschild Academy


I have known Morgan Huang for six years. During this time, he has visited Central Michigan University twice each year to recruit graduates from our Early Childhood Education program. China is a long way to travel for young people from the small town of Mt. Pleasant, MI. However, students soon begin to respond to Morgan’s request. As they spent their time in China I only heard wonderful things.

 

Last spring I was privileged to travel to China and visit the students and the Morgan Rothschild Academy. Morgan’s school was beautiful, clean and most of all child friendly. Each classroom was organized by the children’s age. The American teachers worked with the Chinese teachers to create a beautiful bilingual classroom experience. Morgan keeps the children to adult rations very low so each child gets the attention they need. I was excited to see that Morgan values many of the same things we do such as; parent involvement, creativity, and a multitude of experiences for the children.

 

Morgan was a wonderful host as we explored Shanghai, He is kind and caring to everyone including his employees. He is willing to help the teachers in everything they do. When talking with the teachers they expressed their gratitude to Morgan for letting them use the skills they learned in their college years and to grow as a teacher of young children.

 

I would not hesitate to recommend this opportunity to students, It is a wonderful once in a life time experience.

 

Sincerely,
