Pre-K
Legacy partners with Christian families to equip leaders for Christ, beginning with our youngest learners! As a licensed pre-school program we maintain all state requirements. Our pre-K students are taught in a supportive learning environment that recognizes the central importance of play and discovery balanced with structure. Your child will learn Bible, language arts, math, handwriting, social studies, phonics, and prereading. Biblical principles and character-building lessons are incorporated into structured activities, group and individual discovery, and both guided and free play. Students quickly grow to love coming to school to learn and play, preparing them well for success in kindergarten.
