Dear Mary Ford Families,
Welcome to a new and exciting 2025-2025 school year at Mary Ford Early Learning and Family Center! It is with great pride and joy that I continue to serve this incredible school community as your principal.
Mary Ford has a rich legacy of excellence, family partnerships, and a deep commitment to early
childhood education. For the past sixteen years, I’ve had the privilege of growing alongside this
community—first as a classroom teacher, then as a reading interventionist, assistant principal,
and now principal. Every step of the way, my heart has remained with the students and families
of Mary Ford.
As we enter the 2025–2026 school year, we remain committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and high-quality learning environment for all children from birth through kindergarten. Our work is centered on the belief that students come first, and every decision we make is guided by what’s best for their growth and success.
This year, we are focused on continued collaboration with families, academic excellence, and supporting the whole child through strong relationships and engaging instruction. I encourage
you to stay involved, stay informed, and join us in celebrating every milestone along the way.
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
— Nelson Mandela
Let’s make this year our best one yet—together!
Warm regards,
Mrs. Loretta Hart
