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.
INFANTS & TODDLERS
EDUCATIONAL CHILDCARE
We offer full-day and part-time childcare programs for children beginning at the age of 12 weeks. Children are never too young to begin learning, and our teachers work with parents and HHA's Developmental Standards to create individual plans for each child.
Our Mission
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.
An Extension of Your Home
Children are never too young to
begin learning so our well trained teachers work with
the Wisconsin Model Early Learning Standards to create
individual plans for each child’s day. Parent input helps
teachers make plans designed to respond to the daily
physical, social, cognitive, and emotional development
of each child. A safe, nurturing environment provides the
base used to encourage growth and development in all
important areas related to infants and toddlers.
