Our
Story
​​​In 2012, we discovered an old rescue squad building in Hamilton, VA, in need of a complete transformation. Inspired by our vision and its potential, we set out to revitalize the space and restore its role to continue to serve the community with a new purpose and provide families of Western Loudoun County with flexible and affordable quality Pre-K and childcare programs.
​
With unwavering faith and God's strength, love and support from the community, we overcame numerous challenges and financial obstacles and Kidtime Christian Academy was born on the 10th of August, 2015. a space that provides affordable, quality care for families in Western Loudoun County, VA.
​
Today, Kidtime Christian Academy stands as a testament to our dedication to providing children with a nurturing and enriching environment where they can learn, grow, and thrive in a Christ-centered environment.
​
We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to have served hundreds of families and students over the years. Now, we’re thrilled to expand our program and welcome new families in Stephens City and throughout Frederick County, VA. We look forward to building strong partnerships with our new neighbors and communities as we grow together to ensure that all children are given the opportunity learn, grow, and thrive to their fullest potential.

Dear Families,

I am thrilled to share the story of our journey with you. Kidtime Christian Academy began its mission on August 10, 2015, as a faith-based, state-licensed preschool with just four students.

With over 35 years of experience in early childhood education, I am proud to lead this academy as a CDA-certified professional. My deep passion for both the Lord and children has been the driving force behind the creation of Kidtime Christian Academy. Our goal is to create a loving, Christ-centered, and nurturing environment where children can grow and thrive.
Throughout my career, I have worked in various private preschools, corporate childcare centers, and Montessori settings, gaining valuable insights and experiences that have shaped our approach to provide a fun and dynamic learning environment and quality care at KCA.

Beliefs
We believe that every child is a unique and special blessing from God.
We value partnering with families and caregivers to provide a consistent, quality education at both school and home that will enhance your students spiritual, emotional, intellectual, physical and social growth, while building relationships of mutual trust and respect.
We acknowledge the importance of knowing and sharing Jesus Christ; we impart a spirit of excellence in our students so they can confidently fulfill their educational responsibilities and become innovative and productive students, role models and leaders.
We teach students to revere God by respecting themselves and others, and exemplifying quality Christian character that provides a foundation for proper, righteous, day-to-day living.
We help students grow in the wisdom, statute and favor of God and man, through knowing the importance of worship, obedience, prayer, diligence, responsibility, initiative, honesty, respect and authority.
We teach students the Fruits of the Spirit as described in Galatians 5:22-23, which are love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
We believe in helping students develop quality life skills and moral behaviors in a nurtured environment that enables them to thrive and reach their full potential.
We believe that a quality, experienced, passionate and committed staff fosters a peaceful atmosphere and a creative learning environment that ensures a high standard of education for all of our children. All rights, activities and privileges are made available to every child, regardless of ethnic origin, race or color.
We teach principles of good manners, positive social and behavioral skills, kindness and courtesy. We invest in every child’s self esteem, character and confidence by providing positive feedback, encouragement, recognition and rewards.
