Explore Our Kindergarten in Gainesville, VA
Today, more and more parents are choosing private kindergarten programs for their children. The first year of elementary school is a crucial time in your child’s development, where their self-confidence begins to grow as they learn a newfound sense of independence and responsibility.
Our private kindergarten program at Haymarket Children’s Academy in Gainesville, VA, provides an easy transition for children who have already gone through pre-k and wish to advance and prepare for first grade. Our teachers work with your children individually as they discover the joy and challenges of learning new skills. Our private kindergarten program provides a nurturing environment of love, project-based learning, and individualized attention.
WHAT YOUR CHILD LEARNS DURING THEIR KINDERGARTEN EXPERIENCE
Even if your child has gone through preschool or pre-k, kindergarten is the foundation upon which all future learning is built. Kindergarten prepares them to become first graders and fosters a lifelong love of learning.
Personalized instruction is one of the main advantages of a private kindergarten program. Under the supervision of a caring teacher, your child will learn a variety of crucial skills, such as:
- Math & reasoning
- Reading
- Science & experimenting
- Creativity
Small Class Sizes
We limit the size of our private kindergarten classes so we can avoid “teaching to the middle.” As opposed to the more rigid structure of public schools.
Newly Renovated Classrooms
Each of our newly renovated classrooms provides a cozy, home-like atmosphere that encourages exploration and learning.
Our Values & Character
Through learning experiences, we focus on values including honesty, friendship, respect, acceptance, and kindness. In addition to providing quality education.
– What Makes Us Unique-
Kindergarten Students Get Full Access to Our Outpost!
All our kindergarten students get full access to our Outpost. This means parents can enjoy before & after care, out-of-school days get replaced with camp days, and bad weather days also get treated as camp days, so parents never have to worry about missing work. During before & after care, we provide breakfast and snacks! Pick-up and drop-off are also available, just ask one of the administrators.

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.
“As William Butler Yeats once said, education is the not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.”
Giovanna McGregorDirector
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.
