Learning Zone has long been a name associated with high-quality early childhood education. Since our founding in 2016, Learning Zone has become widely regarded as one of the best preschools Murfreesboro and Middle Tennessee has to offer. Now Learning Zone is expanding with new preschools in Huntsville and Madison, AL.
Learning Zone began with a simple but powerful vision: to create a preschool environment where children feel safe, cherished, and excited to learn each day. From our humble beginnings, we set out to become more than just a daycare. We want Learning Zone to be a place of discovery, imagination, and wonder.
Over the years, Learning Zone has expanded significantly across Middle Tennessee. Today we operate multiple preschool and daycare locations in Murfreesboro (5 locations), Nashville (Century City and Lenox Village), Nolensville, Smyrna, Spring Hill, Mt. Juliet, Lebanon, Gallatin, and more.
What has fueled our expansion is the consistent positive response from families who appreciate the Learning Zone approach. What sets Learning Zone apart is our emphasis on imaginative play and hands-on interaction—not just passive learning, but letting children explore, build, pretend, and engage directly with materials and their environment.
Children aren’t just observers: they are problem-solvers, creators, experimenters, artists, engineers—even at toddler age.
At the heart of Learning Zone’s educational philosophy is our exclusive C3 Curriculum, designed for children ages six weeks through Pre-K. This curriculum integrates STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) in ways that are developmentally appropriate and deeply engaging.
Elements such as scientific reasoning, logical thinking, creative arts, and even early tech exposure are woven in, ensuring children are not just prepared for school, but for a lifetime of curiosity.
Complementing the curriculum are the teachers at Learning Zone, often referred to as “Education Engineers.” Our teachers are highly trained, caring professionals who do more than supervise—they plan, observe, adapt lessons to fit each child’s developmental stage, support social-emotional growth, and foster both independence and confidence.
Northern Alabama—specifically Huntsville and Madison—has shown growing demand for high-quality preschool and daycare offerings. Many families in this region are seeking educational environments that go beyond traditional daycare: ones that emphasize early learning, innovation, safety, and enriched curriculum. Learning Zone’s track record in Middle Tennessee demonstrates exactly the kind of model that fits this need.
Geographically and demographically, the expansion makes sense. Huntsville has grown rapidly, with increasing numbers of young families relocating there because of employment, tech industry growth, and quality-of‐life considerations.
These families bring expectations for educational options early in their children’s lives. Learning Zone is the preschool Madison AL families are looking for because we combine safety, academic readiness, and imaginative play. Learning Zone’s STEAM curriculum, secure and modern facilities, and dedicated teaching staff align well with the desires of families in Madison looking for the best daycares Madison, AL has to offer.
Learning Zone is moving forward with ambitious expansion into Alabama. There are three new preschool locations planned or already open:
Learning Zone Watercress
Address: 2615 Old Fairway Rd, NW Huntsville, AL 35806
Phone: 938-444-4505
Learning Zone Madison
Address: 750 Gillespie Road, Madison, AL 35758
Phone: 615-695-2994
Learning Zone Promenade Point
Address: 5523 Promenade Point Pkwy, Madison, AL 35758
Each of these Learning Zone preschools features the same hallmarks families in Middle Tennessee have come to rely on: the STEAM-based C3 curriculum, highly trained “Education Engineers,” secure and modern facilities, and a learning philosophy built on imaginative play, interaction, and exploration.
The move into Huntsville and Madison, Alabama, is more than just geographic expansion. Learning Zone is meeting a real need in communities that are ready for what we have to offer. With three new locations in Alabama, Learning Zone aims to bring its proven model of early learning excellence to even more families, helping children there begin their educational journeys in environments where exploration, imagination, and hands-on discovery are front and center.
Yes, and that’s intentional. Many families start reading to understand what quality early childhood education looks like and what children need at different stages. Even if you’re still exploring options, our blogs can help you feel more confident about what to look for in a childcare center and what questions to ask during tours.
Yes. Many early childhood challenges are a normal part of development, but they can still feel exhausting at home. You’ll find supportive strategies that respect your child’s emotions while also helping you set clear, age-appropriate boundaries. We also share guidance on common transitions, such as starting daycare, moving to new classrooms, and potty training readiness.
Not at all. Every post is designed to stand on its own, so you can jump into whatever topic feels most helpful right now. Many parents treat the blog like a resource library and return whenever a new stage or challenge arises. If you’re not sure where to begin, starting with the most recent posts is a great option.
New posts are added regularly, especially around the topics parents search for and ask about most. Some seasons focus more on routines and family schedules, while others dive deeper into behavior, development, and early learning. The best way to stay up to date is to check back often or subscribe when available.
Young children learn best through play because it’s how they naturally explore, practice, and repeat skills without pressure. Play strengthens language, early thinking skills, creativity, and social development in a way that feels enjoyable instead of forced. The blog helps explain what meaningful play looks like, so you can recognize learning even when it looks like fun.
No. Our content is meant to be helpful and informative, but it’s not a substitute for professional guidance. If you ever have concerns about your child’s health or development, it’s always best to speak with your pediatrician or a qualified specialist. Think of this blog as supportive education and a steady place to start.
