We believe children learn best when they experience both belonging and responsibility. Our Academy Village model creates a connected school community where children are encouraged to participate, contribute, communicate, and grow.

Mary Carol Academy was built upon more than two decades of experience in early childhood education, curriculum development, classroom instruction, and preschool leadership.
Our proven approach combines quality care, purposeful instruction, character development, and meaningful family partnerships. We are proud to bring this trusted educational model to Long Beach and welcome every child into the MC Academy family.

Our mission is to provide a nurturing, curriculum-focused preschool experience that develops confident learners, strong character, and the foundational skills children need for elementary school and beyond.

MC Academy is a teacher-directed program. Our teachers intentionally plan and lead lessons based on each class’s developmental level and learning goals.
Children still explore, create, move, and play—but every activity has a purpose. Teachers model new skills, ask meaningful questions, guide practice, observe progress, and provide support until children gain confidence and mastery.
Pastor Akilah Bailey brings more than 25 years of experience in early childhood education, including classroom teaching, curriculum development, preschool leadership, & program administration.
Her vision for MC Academy is to create a school where children receive excellent instruction, families feel supported, teachers have the guidance and resources needed to lead with confidence.
“Every child deserves a strong beginning, a caring village, and teachers who believe in what they can become.”


Strong foundations in reading, phonics, math, handwriting, science, and more.
Kindness, respect, responsibility, honesty, and self-control are practiced daily.
Families receive clear information about their child’s progress, needs, and experiences.
Children receive the structure, encouragement, and care they need to thrive.
Enrollment at MC Academy Kindergarten is open to children ages 5-6. We offer full-day programs, as well as before and after-school care. Contact us today to schedule a tour and learn more about our enrollment process.
We believe that parents are partners in their child's education. We provide regular communication and opportunities for parent involvement, including parent-teacher conferences, classroom volunteers, and family events.

We would love to meet your family, show you our learning environment, and answer your questions.
