As your child transitions out of the nursery program, their capacity to learn and take in new concepts grows exponentially. Haymarket Children’s Academy ensures there is an appropriate place for children at every stage of their development. Our Gainesville, VA, preschool program is more than just daycare. It’s designed to give children a head start on concepts they’ll learn in pre-k. Our preschool makes every part of your child’s day an opportunity to grow and make learning fun.

WHAT YOUR CHILD WILL LEARN IN PRESCHOOL

Preschool is an important step between the nursery and pre-k. Although developmentally they can grasp new concepts, this age still needs to be engaged in a particular way. That’s why our preschool program focuses on play-based learning, providing an educational daycare experience.

In the comfort of a home-like environment, your child will learn a variety of new skills in preschool. Through daily games and activities, you’ll see them begin to grow in five essential domains:

  • Social
  • Emotional
  • Cognitive
  • Physical
  • Language

Quality ChildcareFor a Brighter Start

Our preschool programs are thoughtfully designed to nurture each child’s development through fun, age-appropriate activities. Every day encourages curiosity, creativity, and confidence while building early social skills in a safe, caring environment.

LEARNING

Our days are filled with lots of activities, which allows the teacher to give a brief synopsis about the activity they are doing and how it pertains to the lesson plans on a daily basis.

meal

MEAL

This is a great way to see what your child ate, how much they ate, or if they refused any food. This helps a parent pick up where we leave off or be able to notice eating patterns and make adjustments if need be.

BATHROOM

Each diaper change or visit to the potty is recorded in detail (diaper cream applied, wet or BM, accident, etc.)

night

NAP

This will record how many times and how long your child naps throughout the day. Teachers can make notes regarding nap time so parents can keep an eye on their child’s sleep schedule during the day (ex, refused nap, opted for a quiet time activity instead)

INCIDENT

If your child has been injured at school, the teachers will put in an incident report describing the nature of the injury/incident, what first aid was administered, if the parent had been notified, and a description of the injury/incident.
