Explore Our Preschool In Gainesville, VA
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

PHOTOS
This feature allows parents to see what their children are doing throughout the day.
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
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.)
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.
HCA has been such a great place for my children to grow and develop. They truly find out what your child needs, and the staff works together to implement plans to make your children successful. My kids were always excited for the several activities they would participate in during the holiday and summer camps. The kindness of the staff is genuine and you never worry while your children are in their care. I highly recommend Haymarket Children's Academy for anyone looking for exceptional childcare!
Haymarket Children's Academy is unlike any other childcare/early childhood education school. It has a home-like atmosphere, while being clean and organized, and there are so many fun opportunities for kids to play and learn. The staff are so kind and friendly. You really just need to see it for yourself.
Best early learning school in Nova. Led by a professional administration team that are lovingly involved with the day to day activities and care for the children. The teachers are happy and full of knowledge. HCA feels like a family with facilities that are immaculate and secure.
