Amanda Morgan holds a dual BA in Elementary and Early Childhood Education and an MS in Human Development, with an emphasis on Child Development. She is deeply committed to supporting intentional, whole-child development through her website Not Just Cute and its companion podcast, Not Just Cute: The Podcast. With a blend of scientific insight and compelling stories, Amanda demonstrates how everyday moments—like play, relationships, and conversations—are far more than just “cute”; they're powerful tools for growth and learning. For over 15 years, she has worked with early childhood groups across the U.S. and Canada, sharing her passion and expertise as a speaker, trainer, and consultant. When she’s not traveling, speaking, or writing, Amanda enjoys home life with her husband and four boys a few miles from her favorite kayaking spot in Puget Sound, where she's still holding out hope for a not-too-close encounter with an orca.
