Administration

Welcome to another exciting year at Mary Kay McNeill Early Learning Center! I am honored to begin my third year as principal of this incredible school community. It is truly a privilege to work alongside our dedicated staff, amazing students, and supportive families, and I am excited for all that we'll accomplish together this year.

This year's theme, Wild About Learning, celebrates the curiosity, creativity, and excitement that make early childhood such a special time. Throughout the year, our students will explore new ideas, discover their strengths, build meaningful relationships, and develop the confidence to become lifelong learners. Every day will be filled with opportunities to wonder, create, play, and grow.

At MKM, we proudly embrace our school motto: "We are Tiny but Mighty!" These words remind us that although our learners may be small, their potential is limitless. We celebrate every milestone, every act of kindness, and every new discovery as our children grow academically, socially, and emotionally.

Our mission continues to guide 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 each day through engaging instruction, meaningful family partnerships, and a school culture where every child is valued, supported, and encouraged to thrive.

As we begin this new school year, we remain committed to providing high-quality, developmentally appropriate learning experiences that inspire curiosity and foster a love of learning. Our talented and caring staff is dedicated to meeting each child where they are, celebrating their unique strengths, and helping them reach their fullest potential.

Thank you for partnering with us and for entrusting us with your child's early learning journey. Together, we will make this a year of exploration, growth, and joyful discovery. We are excited to be Wild About Learning and can't wait to see all the amazing things our Tiny but Mighty learners will accomplish this year!

Here's to a wonderful 2026-2027 school year!

 

Warmly,

Jodi Lax
