Care Member says "My kid attends Legacy Preschool and we have nothing but great things to say. Whenever I ask him how his day was he says GREAT! He’s talked about many aspects of his day including Spanish and music and even a Zumba class recently. The curriculum seems like it’s very thought out and full of fun. The team has also been very caring for his food allergies which makes me feel very comfortable sending him to their care. Highly recommend checking out the program!"
