Located on Prairie View Farm, a ten-acre farmette on Madison's west side, Hickory Hill Academy (formerly Kids Express Learning Center) provides daily opportunities for your child to observe nature and study a variety of gentle, exotic, domesticated animals. Llamas, sheep, goats, and exotic fowl reside in meadows and paddocks surrounding our school. Our classrooms' large windows offer your child a
chance to enjoy animal antics and activities throughout the day. Children play on wooded playgrounds, explore nature along the wooded trails, enjoy rewarding, sensory rich learning experiences centered around nature, organic gardening, animal care, and learn through practical, hands-on, small group lessons centered on language and literacy, art, math, science, social studies, music and movement, keyboard, creative dramatics, health and physical education. HHA places emphasis on having a highly qualified, professional staff. Minimally, lead teachers and co-teachers have bachelor’s degrees in early childhood/primary education or a related field. Several teachers may have multiple and/or advanced degrees in child-related fields. www.HickoryHillAcademy.com
