Huntsville, AL — CMK Properties is expanding access to high-quality early childhood education in Huntsville with the groundbreaking of not one but two new Learning Zone childcare facilities this week. The Taylor Road and Friendship Crossing sites, each spanning 13,643 square feet, mark CMK’s fourth and fifth Learning Zone developments in the Huntsville market.
The Taylor Road center is scheduled to open in April 2026, followed by Friendship Crossing in May 2026. These projects join Balch Road, set to open soon; Promenade Road, opening early next year; and Watercress, which has been operating since May 2024 with many 5-star reviews from families. Together, all five centers will provide space for hundreds of students across Huntsville.
Huntsville continues to be one of the fastest-growing cities in the Southeast and is consistently ranked among the best places to live in the United States. With more families moving to the area, demand for reliable, high-quality childcare has never been greater. These new facilities will help address that need by providing additional options for families seeking accessible and trusted early education.
