Huntsville, AL — CMK Properties is pleased to announce the opening of The Learning Zone Madison, the latest addition to the growing network of award-winning early childhood education centers in the Huntsville area. The new facility officially opened its doors to families on Monday, October 13, 2025.

Located at 750 Gillespie Rd, Madison, AL 35758, the new 13,000-square-foot center will provide high-quality care and education to children ages six weeks through five years old. The expansion reflects CMK Properties’ continued commitment to meeting the growing demand for exceptional childcare options in one of Alabama’s fastest-growing regions.

“As Huntsville continues to experience rapid population and economic growth, access to quality early childhood education has become more essential than ever,” said John Hopfensperger, Founder and CEO of CMK Properties. “We’re proud to partner with The Learning Zone to bring another state-of-the-art facility to families in the community.”

The Learning Zone, ranked among the top 30 largest childcare operators in the nation, is recognized for its research-based curriculum and family-first philosophy. Each center features innovative programs that set new standards in early education, including:

  • STEAM Curriculum: A hands-on approach to science, technology, engineering, arts, and math that nurtures creativity and critical thinking.
  • Seed-to-Table Program: Through the Grow Zone garden, children learn about food, nutrition, and sustainability in a fun and interactive way.
  • Kindergarten Zone: A readiness program designed to prepare students for their next academic milestone.

The Gillespie Road location marks the second of six Learning Zone facilities to be developed by CMK Properties in Huntsville.
