Mary Ford Early Learning Family Center has made life magical for my five year old granddaughter. I cannot say enough about the amazing educational movement I have witnessed at Mary Ford. Mary Ford has created an atmosphere for success for my two young granddaughters. I know without a doubt that every student that enters the doors at Mary Ford Early Learning Family Center will be given a solid reading foundation. Mary Ford is preparing leaders!
