THE IMPORTANCE OF EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION
The lessons your child learns before first grade are vital to their future learning endeavors. Early childhood education helps shape children’s minds and character and creates a strong foundation upon which all future learning is based. When done properly, the right curriculum can help your child develop a lifelong love of learning.
At Haymarket Children’s Academy in Gainesville, VA, we are proud of our award-winning, proprietary curriculum that introduces your child to concepts such as critical thinking, math, science, and language early on. They are presented in a fun way that encourages creativity and play.
HAYMARKET CHILDREN’S ACADEMY’S STANDARDS OF EXCELLENCE
At HCA, we have developed an effective curriculum utilizing Frog Street, which we implement in all of our early childhood education programs, delivering high standards of excellence. Our parents love our award-winning curriculum because it smoothly introduces new concepts to children in an approachable way. Our students also love it because it allows them to engage in play-based learning. In addition, research-based success predictors are used to provide an ongoing assessment of your child’s development.
Our literacy and leadership program, Inspired, empowers children to grow as confident readers, thinkers, and leaders. Each month, students explore an exciting new theme—such as social awareness, financial literacy, entrepreneurship, health and wellness, or civic responsibility—through carefully selected books and hands-on projects. As children read stories connected to each theme, they build early literacy skills including vocabulary, comprehension, and critical thinking. Through collaborative projects, they practice communication, problem-solving, creativity, and leadership in age-appropriate ways. The Inspired program nurtures curiosity, confidence, and character, helping our young learners discover that their ideas matter and that they can make a positive impact in their classroom and community.
