“Legacy’s Pre-K programs are designed to give our youngest students the strongest possible start,” said Superintendent Mia Vega. “Our approach blends academic structure with exploration-based learning in a nurturing, well-rounded environment that sets the foundation for future success.”
The Legacy Pre-K curriculum is aligned with the Arizona Department of Education’s Early Learning Standards and includes early literacy through Spalding, foundational math, science, music, art, and physical education. Instruction is delivered in a structured, engaging format supporting cognitive and social-emotional development.
During the 2023–24 academic year, Legacy Traditional Schools’ Kindergarten graduates demonstrated remarkable academic readiness, excelling in key literacy and math assessments. Students who attended Legacy’s Pre-Kindergarten program scored more than 20 percentile points higher than their peers on the Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) assessment and exceeded their peers by over 10 percentile points on the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) math assessment.
