Big Blue Marble Academy has acquired three locations of Oak Brook School, including one in McKinney.

The acquisition, which was finalized Dec. 13, also included locations in Allen and Murphy. Oak Brook School, an early childhood education and childcare center, was founded in 2001, a press release states. The McKinney location opened in late 2020.

The acquisition brings Big Blue Marble Academy to 82 centers nationwide, the release stated. The school serves students ranging from 6 weeks old to 12 years old, and offers early childhood care, preschool, after-school care and summer camp programs.

“Growing into the vibrant Dallas-Fort Worth community with the addition of these Oak Brook School locations is an exciting milestone for Big Blue Marble Academy,” said Jeff Wahl, CEO of Big Blue Marble Academy, in the release. “This growth reflects our mission to provide exceptional early education to families nationwide while maintaining the high standards of care and innovation that define our organization.”
