Summer is officially here, and we’re celebrating in a big way at The Academy of McKay’s Mill! We kicked off the season with joy, laughter, and lots of sunshine as we launched our exciting summer theme: Let Them Play.
At The Academy, we believe play is powerful. It's how children explore, grow, and connect with the world around them. This summer, our curriculum will be packed with hands-on activities, creative adventures, water fun, and outdoor exploration—all designed to inspire imagination and encourage curiosity.

Parents Day/Night Out
What an unforgettable evening! Ms. Tamia and Mr. Richie truly outdid themselves at our latest Parents’ Night Outevent!

As the sun began to set, we wrapped up the evening with a cozy movie under the stars. It was the perfect way to end a fun-filled day!
A huge thank you to Ms. Tamia and Mr. Richie for creating such a magical experience. And thank you to our families for trusting us with your little ones — we loved every minute!
