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.
ABOUT
HICKORY HILL ACADEMY
CULTIVATING COMPASSIONATE LEADERS
Hickory Hill Academy cultivates children’s growth in a stimulating and compassionate environment. Our supportive teachers engage the curiosities and needs of each child, fostering self-esteem, the confidence needed to benefit from our robust academic programs, and the interest to embark on a journey of life-long learning. Our focus on empathy, character, and individual well-being encourages our children to envision how they will serve their community beyond the expanse of our campus.
Curriculum
Our programs provide engaging and hands-on learning opportunities that inspire students to love learning. Instruction and growth is individualized to challenge and nurture students where they need it.
Culture
With low teacher-to-student ratios, our highly educated and qualified teachers go the extra mile in getting to know each student and their family. Monthly school events also allow our community to connect and form life-long relationships.
Campus
Nothing beats our growing 10-acre campus blooming with wonderful learning opportunities both indoors and out. Our animals, gardens, school forest, playgrounds, sports court, beautiful classrooms and buildings, sports field, and new K-8th grade building combine to give students an enriching experience.
REGISTRATION AND ENROLLMENT
New enrollments are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. A non-refundable registration fee is charged per child. Children may be placed on a "wait list" until a desired opening becomes available. Once placement is accepted by parents, parents sign an enrollment agreement and complete additional forms for their child's file. Processing enrollment applications for the Summer on the Farm and for the Academic School Year occurs in January and February each year. However, applications for enrollment may be submitted at any time during the year.
