The Legacy Christian Academy Early Learning Center environment
Our Early Learning programs are designed to help students move seamlessly from one age and stage to the next, mastering important readiness skills as they continue toward kindergarten. The following programs are available on our Early Learning Campus:
All Early Learning classes begin promptly at 8:30 am. Parents may drop their children off as early as 7:30 am at no additional fee. Currently, our dismissal time is 2:30 pm for Pre-K 3 and 3:00 pm for Pre-K 4; however, minor adjustments may be made to these times year-to-year to accommodate families with students at multiple divisions.
We’re pleased to offer an after-school care program for our busy families, allowing their children to remain in a safe and familiar environment all day. Legacy extended care runs until 6 p.m. daily and is available at an additional cost. Students who participate will move to another classroom at the end of their school day to enjoy a snack, crafts, and outdoor play. In addition to our caring staff, after care students get to interact with LCA juniors and seniors who volunteer their time to support our youngest learners.
At LCA our curriculum focuses on these five core components. Expand each section to learn more.
LCA Early Learning students love coming to school because they get to explore, create, get messy, and learn by doing. Our hands-on curriculum ignites curiosity and engages young minds. We use the research-based Frogstreet Press curriculum, which provides a strong foundation for academics and fosters a seamless transition from preschool to kindergarten. Core subjects include
At LCA, specials aren’t just for our older students. Early Learning students enjoy a variety of weekly rotations that teach essential life skills and spark new interests:
Our classrooms are equipped with the latest technology, such as Promethean boards, computers, and iPads. While teachers may use these tools to increase engagement during specific lessons, we are intentional about developing young students academically and socially, primarily through off-screen learning.
Early Learning students participate in many LCA traditions and special ceremonies such as pep rallies, themed parties, and school-wide events. Our Pre-K 4 and Junior Kindergarten classes look forward to field trips, including a Pumpkin Patch trip in the fall, and Pre-K 3 students enjoy a variety of on-campus fun.
When you choose LCA, your child has the opportunity to be a member of our close-knit community until they graduate. This continuity is priceless. LCA Upper School students intern in Pre-K 3 and Pre-K 4 classrooms, work in the extended care program, and build meaningful relationships with our youngest Eagles.
“Legacy made a lot of wonderful improvements to our newly acquired Early Learning Campus to make it ready for our little Eagles. We replaced the gravel on the playground with turf, classrooms and hallways got a fresh coat of paint, and our children are enjoying hands-on learning opportunities in our new tech and science labs. Cameras have been installed in the hallways and outside of our building, and other security enhancements have been made to help ensure the safety of our campus.”
