CORGIVILLE FAIR NURSERY
Corgiville Fair Nursery is located in the lower level of The Dahlhouse and nurtures the youngest learners at Kids Express Learning Center. Up to eight children, six weeks to a year old, attend the nursery each day. Two teachers are devoted to the children's care, with a third teacher sharing time between the nursery and the adjoining toddler room.
The children enjoy daily stroller rides around the eight-acre campus, time on the Infant/Toddler playground, and plenty of floor time and cuddle time with their teachers. When weather restricts outdoor activities, the children enjoy a change of venue in Little Engine That Could; our smaller of two gyms, where the children have extra space for playing with large toys. Twice weekly, the children enjoy attending our Bucky Beats percussion music class.
Parents and teachers work together to develop individual sleeping, eating, and playtime plans for each baby, and teachers inform parents of the child's daily experiences, including nap, feeding, and diapering details. The nursery environment is rich with milestone moments, abundant enthusiasm, and genuine affection.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
"KELC and HHA are like none other! Our kids have flourished at this school. The program is designed in a way to ensure that every child is being challenged academically and fits their needs. All of the teachers we have had at the school have been incredible. They are patient, kind, and have truly cared about our children. Our kids are always excited to tell us about the interesting things they have learned. Not only are the teachers amazing, but the grounds are, as well. The animals, gardens, and outdoor spaces are such a wonderful asset for the school. We feel this school has been such a great fit for us and are so thankful for the opportunity to be at a school with such a rich program and wonderful staff!"
