WHAT KIDS DO IN HCA’S BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM

Haymarket Children’s Academy provides school-age children with a safe environment where they can pursue both educational and social opportunities. Our before and after-school program isn’t just about learning, however. It’s also about having fun and being a kid.

When you send your child to our program, we maximize our time with them by providing a variety of activities and opportunities:

  • STEM Activities: Our Outpost has a Cafe, construction zone, gym, art room, kitchen, and other diverse environments for many hands-on activities.
  • Indoor and Outdoor Play: We’ve equipped our four-acre campus with age-appropriate play opportunities your kids will love, including playgrounds, jungle gyms, a nature trail/bike path, a gaga pit, and the Outpost, a separate building specifically designed for school-age children.
