  Ms. Traci Morley, Academy Director

  Hi, my name is Traci Morley. I am proud to be the Academy Director of Kiddie Academy of Wiregrass Ranch. I have been in childcare for 30 years. I interned and then worked as a part-time preschool teacher at Moffitt’s Child Development Center from 1992 until I graduated college in 1994. I graduated from the University of South Florida with an Early Childhood Degree and added a Gifted Endorsement to my Teaching Certification. I was hired out of my internship and taught grades K-2 for four years in the Hillsborough County Public School System. I taught Third Grade for one year at Corpus Christi Catholic School, then took 6 years off to be a stay-at-home mom. In 2005, I earned a VPK endorsement and began teaching at Family of Christ Christian School, where I taught one year of VPK and 13 years of First Grade. I joined Kiddie Academy of Wiregrass Ranch in January 2021. I have been married to my husband, Tom, since 1998. I am the proud mom of two college-age daughters. I enjoy the beach, farmer’s markets, and family game nights. My all-time favorite thing to do is travel with my family. I’ve enjoyed our memorable trips to Grand Cayman, Barbados, and Grand Turk the most!
