McAnally Childcare Development Center

They say laughter is the best way to learn! Today at MRD Learning Centers, we’re celebrating the giggles, the silly stories, and the playful spirit that our little ones bring to our classrooms every day.

Happy April Fools' Day! 🎈✨

Behind every successful student is a village of incredible women. From our dedicated educators at MRD Learning Center to the hardworking moms and guardians at home—you are the heartbeat of our community.

Today, we honor your patience, your brilliance, and your unwavering belief in the next generation. Happy Women's Month! 💐

Lifting as we climb" wasn't just a motto for Mary Church Terrell, it was a mission to ensure no mother or child was left behind.

As the first president of the National Association of Colored Women (NACW), Mary Church Terrell recognized a critical need: working Black mothers were excluded from white facilities. In response, her organization pioneered Day Nurseries, the very precursor to the modern daycare centers we know today.

She believed that lifting our children through care and education was the only way to move our entire community forward. Today, we honor her legacy by continuing to provide a safe, nurturing, and high-quality environment for the next generation of leaders. 🎓

This week, we are proud to feature Dr. Evelyn Moore, a true pioneer who proved that the foundation of a child's future begins long before they reach grade school. From her landmark work with the Perry Preschool Project to founding the National Black Child Development Institute (NBCDI), Dr. Moore has spent her life ensuring that Black children receive the high-quality start they deserve.

She taught us that when we invest in our youngest learners, we aren't just teaching lessons, we are building the bedrock of justice and liberation for generations to come.

Today we celebrate the leaders who helped shape our country and the big dreams that started with small beginnings. At MRD Learning Centers, we’re teaching little learners that leadership starts early, through kindness, courage, and doing the right thing even when no one’s watching.

Future presidents? CEOs? World changers? They’re probably finger-painting right now. And we love to see it. 💙

They might have little hands, but they have the biggest hearts! ❤️ At our MRD Learning Centers, Valentine’s Day is all about celebrating the friendships and kindness that grow in our classrooms every day. Happy Valentine’s Day to all our amazing students and their families.

Building a stronger community starts with the "whole child".

This month, we’re reflecting on the wisdom of Edmund W. Gordon. His work reminds us that to help a child thrive, we must look at the big picture: their health, their home, and their happiness. We are honored to carry this philosophy forward in our daily work across our daycare centers and healthcare services.

At MRD Learning Center, we often say we go "beyond babysitting." This philosophy isn't new—it was championed by the incredible Fannie C. Williams.

Fannie believed that early childhood was the most critical window for growth. By initiating health screenings and rigorous teacher training in New Orleans' first Black kindergarten, she proved that quality care is the foundation of a successful life.

This February, we celebrate her spirit by continuing that same mission: providing genuine, developmental care that treats every child as a future leader.

Big dreams start with little hands! ✨ This Black History Month, we’re celebrating the incredible potential of our students and the bright futures they are building. At MRD Learning Centers, we believe every child has a story worth telling and a history worth making. 🖍️🌈

Today’s safety notice for our daycare families.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗼𝘀𝘀.

It’s 2:45 PM.

You’re in the middle of a meeting, but you aren't really listening. Instead, you’re checking your watch. You’re calculating traffic. You’re wondering if your kid is standing by the school gate feeling like the "last one left."

That daily "after-school scramble" is exhausting.

Most parents think they have to choose between finishing their workday strong or being a "present" parent. But what if you could have both?

At MRD Learning Centers, our After School Program (Monday–Friday) is designed to be the bridge between the final bell and your front door.

Here’s the deal:
The $95 "Peace of Mind" Fee: For just $𝟵𝟱 𝗮 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸, your child isn't just "waiting" for you. They’re in a safe, engaging environment where they actually want to be.

No More Scrambling: You can finish your tasks in OKC without the 3:00 PM heart rate spike. You pick them up when you’re actually done, not when the school bell says you have to be.

A Community of Peers: They get to decompress from the school day with friends, guided by a team that actually cares about their growth.

Enrollment is now officially 𝗢𝗣𝗘𝗡.

But here’s the thing—at $𝟵𝟱 𝗮 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸, these spots don't stay open. Once the vans are at capacity and the classrooms are full, that’s it.
Don't spend another afternoon staring at the clock.
