Kindergarten Prep
Welcome to Legacy Christian School Kindergarten Prep!
In order to qualify for Kinder Prep, your child must be 4 years old by September 1st. Students in our preschool program who turn 4 years old during the school year will remain in their preschool classes until promotion day in August. If your child will not be 4 by September 1st, we recommend you check out our 3 & 4 year old preschool program.
Our Kinder Prep classes include daily academics, in addition to time for playing and exploring. Our students leave confident and fully prepared for kindergarten. If you would like additional information about our Kinder Prep program, please contact our office at 408-225-5976.
