McKinley Elementary offers a joyful and nurturing beginning for TK and kindergarten students in our brand-new, state-of-the-art Early Childhood Education Center. Designed specifically for young learners, the center provides bright, modern classrooms and developmentally appropriate spaces where children feel safe, supported, and excited to learn. Our teachers meet each child where they are—academically, socially, and emotionally—using hands-on learning, small-group instruction, and play-based exploration to build confidence, curiosity, and a love of school from day one.
