About Us

An Unparalleled Early Education Experience

Haymarket Children’s Academy is the premier educational child care provider in the Gainesville, Virginia, area. We are passionate about creating a nurturing, safe, encouraging and fun environment for young kids to learn, develop and thrive.

Our Play-Based Learning Philosophy

We believe cultivating a happy and healthy child, hungry for exploration and learning, starts and ends with community. By partnering with parents, we strive to prime HCA children for a lifetime of engaged questioning, inspired learning and secure social interactions.

HCA is accredited through Cognia and draws upon our unique curriculum, Frog Street, to facilitate educational growth. Our play-based learning approach permeates throughout every one of our early education programs. Children learn through hands-on games, lessons, collaborations and other play-oriented activities.

Instilling Meaningful Values

Our core values are made up of seven pillars:

1. Integrity
2. Excellence
3. Patriotism
4. Safety
5. Diversity
6. Health
7. Happiness

Each HCA teacher embodies every one of our defining characteristics. We know we’re responsible for sculpting your children into budding, curious, confident, honest and inclusive individuals. Through spending time with your young child, our caregivers transfer and teach our seven intrinsic values through patience, love, kindness and guidance. If you’re looking for a preschool in Gainesville, we’d love to help ignite your child’s inner spark for self-discovery and world exploration.
