What We Offer

Transitional Kindergarten at Legacy Christian Academy

The purpose of Legacy Christian Academy’s Transitional Kindergarten program is to provide the 'gift of time,' nurturing the whole child through a balanced, play-based, and academic curriculum designed specifically for four-year-olds. We cultivate curiosity and school readiness in an engaging, hands-on environment, fostering early literacy, pre-math, and motor skills while building the social maturity and confidence necessary for a successful transition to kindergarten.

  • Target Age: Designed for 4-year-olds

  • Play-Based & Academic: Curriculum combines structured, teacher-guided instruction with play-based, hands-on activities to nurture the "whole child".

  • Focus Areas: Emphasizes social skills (sharing, conflict resolution), early literacy (stories, letters), pre-math (numbers, shapes), and motor skills.

  • A biblical worldview is woven throughout all learning and social interactions teaching biblical principles through stories, songs, scripture reading, and interactions with others. 

  • Classroom Setup: Features ample space for exploration, sensory bins, and age-appropriate materials to encourage curiosity.

  • Gift of Time: Provides an extra year of school to build confidence, maturity, and readiness skills before entering kindergarten. 

  • Teacher Student Ratio: 10:1 with an instructional aide
