BEFORE & AFTER SCHOOL

BEFORE & AFTER CARE IN GAINESVILLE, VA

We believe an effective before and after school program is more than just childcare — it’s an extension of your child’s learning. The moment your child walks through our doors at Haymarket Children’s Academy in Gainesville, VA, they will be greeted warmly and treated with the respect and love they deserve. Plus, each day presents new opportunities for them to develop socially and educationally through free-time and hands-on activities designed to enhance what they’re learning at school.

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.

When you entrust us with the care of your child, we don’t take that responsibility lightly. That’s why their security is our primary concern. Our campus is located off any main thoroughfares.
