HICKORY HILL ACADEMY OPENS ENROLLMENT FOR FREE HALF-DAY 4K PROGRAM
Families in the Madison area have a new option for early childhood education this fall. Hickory Hill Academy has announced that enrollment is now open for its free half-day Pre-K 4K program for the 2026 school year.
This new offering expands access to the school’s well-established early learning experience while maintaining the same thoughtful approach families have come to expect.
A FLEXIBLE OPTION FOR FAMILIES
The free half-day 4K program covers the instructional portion of the day, giving families the option to participate at no cost. For those who need a longer schedule, wrap-around care is available before and after the half-day program.
Families can choose between morning and afternoon sessions, allowing for flexibility based on individual schedules. This structure makes it easier for parents to tailor their child’s day while still benefiting from a consistent and supportive learning environment.
A TRUSTED APPROACH TO EARLY LEARNING
Instruction at Hickory Hill Academy is grounded in a play-based, whole-child philosophy. Learning is woven into hands-on experiences that support social, emotional, and academic development.
Led by experienced educators, the program focuses on building relationships and encouraging curiosity. Children are guided through meaningful activities that help develop confidence, independence, and a strong foundation for future learning.
The half-day option reflects the same intentional approach that defines the Hickory Hill experience, now available in a format that works for more families.
PREPARING CHILDREN FOR WHAT’S NEXT
Since 1996, Hickory Hill Academy has helped young learners build a lasting love of learning. The Pre-K 4K curriculum is standards-based and designed to prepare children for kindergarten and beyond.
Students benefit from an engaging environment where exploration and discovery are part of the daily routine. The goal is not only academic readiness, but also the development of important life skills that support long-term success.
LOCATED ON A 10-ACRE CAMPUS
Located on a 10-acre campus, Hickory Hill Academy offers a setting that encourages both indoor and outdoor learning. The space allows children to explore, play, and connect with their environment in meaningful ways.
For families who choose extended care, additional enrichment opportunities such as Spanish and Animal Care are available, adding depth and variety to the school day.
