What are the main benefits of a Christian education at this school?

Our Christian education framework integrates moral and spiritual development with academic growth, fostering a nurturing environment that supports the overall well-being and ethical upbringing of our students.

​

Why is age 3 considered optimal for starting at this preschool?

Children at the age of 3 are at a prime developmental stage where they can naturally and easily absorb new information and concepts from their surroundings. This age marks the sensitive periods for acquiring language, understanding order, refining senses, nurturing social relations, and enhancing movement. Starting in an environment like ours at this pivotal age allows children to fully benefit from our curriculum, which is specially designed to align with these sensitive developmental stages.

​

How does the preschool ensure that children have time to play and be creative?

At our preschool, we understand that movement and creativity are vital aspects of a child’s development. Children have the freedom to move around the classroom and engage in daily outdoor activities, which foster exploration and play. Creativity flourishes through daily artistic expressions, sensory explorations, and in their social interactions and problem-solving activities.

​

What does the daily schedule look like for my child?

​

Our school day begins with optional before-school care, leading into a structured academic day that starts at 8:30 a.m. The schedule includes an extended  work period of two to three hours for both individual and group activities, outdoor recess (weather permitting), and a designated nap or rest time. After the academic day, late afternoon childcare is available until 6:00 p.m.

​

Do teachers at Legacy Prep follow a specific curriculum?

​

Yes, Legacy Prep employs a detailed curriculum that covers Bible, Sensorial, Language, Math, Science, Art, Geography, and Cultural Studies. Our educators also incorporate STEM activities through Project Based Learning, ensuring a comprehensive educational experience.

​

What is meant by the "development of the whole child"?

At our preschool, we focus beyond the conventional academic learning of colors, letters, and numbers. We aim to nurture every aspect of a child’s growth, resulting in a well-rounded individual who is independent, curious, respectful, and well-socialized.

​

How does the preschool ensure a well-rounded education if children choose their own activities?

While we encourage children to choose their own work to foster independence and self-motivation, our educators are skilled in guiding and balancing these choices to ensure that each child receives a holistic education that covers all essential developmental areas.

How is student progress communicated to parents?

We offer two formal parent-teacher conferences each year for detailed discussions about your child's progress. Additionally, informal meetings can be arranged upon request. For infants and toddlers, we provide daily or weekly notes that detail your child’s activities and overall care.

​

How does the school communicate with parents?

Communication with parents is primarily through email, supplemented by school and classroom newsletters, teacher notes, and occasional email blasts. We also host quarterly Parent Education sessions to share insights into our educational methods and philosophy.

​

What types of food are served, and how are meals presented?

We encourage parents to prepare a nutritious lunch for their children. However, we provide a nutritious menu that includes a prepared lunch and morning and afternoon snacks daily. Our meals feature fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and nutritious options suitable for growing children. We offer vegetarian choices and serve lunch in a family-style setting, which promotes social skills and proper eating habits, while snacks are made available individually in the classrooms.
