Welcome to Mary Ford Early Learning and Family Center
We Stand Tall, and Aim High!
At Mary Ford, we believe that early childhood is a time of wonder, discovery, and growth. Our school’s focus is to nurture the whole child by fostering strong foundations in social-emotional wellness, academic readiness, and meaningful partnerships with families and the community.
Family Fun!
Staff and families engaged in hands-on learning experiences during our annual Math and Literacy Night.
We Had a "Foam-tastic" time!
Students celebrated the end of the 2024-2025 school year with fun in the foam! Classes participated in various water play activities with staff members one last time before summer break.
Congratulations to our rising first graders!
Congratulations to our rising first graders, the future Class of 2036! We wish you well!

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! "Reading build success no matter where you live."
Thank you for everything you do,
LM. Thompson- Mary Ford Grandparent
