About Us
Who We Are
At Mary’s Learning Academy, we believe childhood should feel joyful, safe, and full of possibility. Our program blends high‑quality early learning with a warm, family‑centered environment where every child is seen, supported, and celebrated.
Our educators are passionate, experienced, and committed to nurturing each child’s natural curiosity. We focus on whole‑child development—social, emotional, cognitive, and creative—so children grow with confidence and a strong foundation for school and life.
Families choose us because they feel the difference the moment they walk in: the warmth, the energy, the intentionality, and the genuine love for children. This is a place where learning feels like home.
Our Mission
Mary's Learning Academy's mission is to provide highly engaging and active learning opportunities for infants, toddlers, preschool and school age children.
Our program promotes high levels of achievement, incorporates an efficient and comprehensive curriculum that is reflective of the social and cultural aspects of our society, and strives to promote positive self image and community involvement.
Our learning philosophy is every child is an active learner!
We provide highly engaging learning opportunities through integrating multiple disciplines including Science, Art and Mathematics. Our central focus is to provide each child with a rich and varied learning experience.
Our center provides activities that encourage the development of gross and fine motor skills, literacy development along with free play and socialization.
Meet Our Founder
My name is Kia Conley. I have a BS in Business Administration with a major in Human Resources and Risk Management. I also have a MS in Elementary Education and MS in Curriculum and Instruction. I have been a Pennsylvania certified teacher for 20 years and have taught elementary, middle and high school. I have been the owner of Mary's Learning Academy for more than10 years.
I love teaching, and creating loving educational environments for children and families.
Our Story
My Mother, Mary: The Heart Behind the Academy
At Mary’s Learning Academy (MLA), we believe that the first years of a child’s life are sacred. Our foundation isn’t built on a business plan; it’s built on a legacy of unconditional love, patience, and the innate wisdom of one extraordinary
woman: my mother, Mary.
Mary’s Learning Academy is a living tribute to her spirit. When you walk through our doors, you are walking into her legacy. Her essence is woven into the fabric of every day with every gentle diaper change, every circle time song, and every story we share. Since our first enrollment in 2015, my drive has been singular—to create a place where she would be proud.
