Principal's Welcome

 

Welcome to the 2025–2026 School Year!
 
I am honored to return for my second year as principal of Mary Kay McNeill Early Learning Center. It has been a privilege to serve this incredible school community, and I am filled with excitement as we begin another year of growth, discovery, and joyful learning together.
 
At MKM, we proudly embrace our school motto: “We are Tiny but Mighty!” These words reflect the strength, resilience, and spirit of our youngest learners, our dedicated staff, and the supportive families that make our school so special.
 
Our mission guides everything we do: We provide a safe, nurturing, and inclusive environment that effectively supports the needs of the children and families in our community and creates an early learning foundation for our students.This commitment is reflected daily in our classrooms, hallways, and family partnerships.
 
As we begin this new school year, we will continue to build on the strong foundation we’ve created together—fostering curiosity, promoting social-emotional growth, and providing high-quality early learning experiences tailored to each child’s needs. Our compassionate and talented staff is here to support your child every step of the way.
 
Thank you for trusting us with your child’s early education. I look forward to a joyful and successful year ahead, filled with learning, connection, and community.
 
Warmly,

Jodi Lax
Principal, Mary Kay McNeill Early Learning Center
