Our goal is to give children the opportunity to learn and grow as they become healthy, responsible, independent, and self-sufficient individuals. Legacy Academy caregivers and teachers provide children with love, joy, and encouragement. At Legacy Academy, children come first as we strive to make a difference! We are committed to providing a positive, nurturing, and enriched learning environment and experiences that will foster cognitive, physical, social, and emotional development in each child as an individual. We believe that early care and education make a positive difference in the lives of children, their families, and our community.
In addition to the standard High Scope curriculum, Legacy Academy Chapel Hill preschool has access to a myriad of High Scope based tools and resources, such as Framework For Their Future®* designed by a team of child development and childcare experts and copyrighted for the exclusive use of Legacy Academy For Children®. This framework is grounded in current early childhood and recent brain development research.
*NOTE: Wherever Framework For Their Future® is referenced, it is included as a High Scope Learning Resource, in addition to the standard High Scope Curriculum which meets North Carolina 5 STAR licensing requirements, in particular for Legacy Academy Chapel Hill.
At Legacy Academy, our mission is to provide children with a cutting edge, enriched learning environment that encourages development. Educating and caring for children is our passion and privilege. We are honored to be trusted by thousands of parents to be such an important part of the lives of their families.

Legacy Academy offers exceptional care for preschool age children ages 6 weeks to 12 years.
Brain research tells us that all experiences impact the architecture of the brain. At birth the human brain is in an amazingly unfinished state. The hardware is present but the connections are yet to be made. The child’s experiences , when repeated are reinforced, resulting in brain connections. This becomes the neural circuitry that lays the foundation for lifelong learning.
Helping young children thrive requires an ongoing commitment to quality. Our goal is continuous quality improvement. We don’t rest on our considerable successes, we build on them each day.
Visit our classrooms and you will see charts, posters, writing centers, child-created stories, and examples of the children’s own language displayed to support our goal of print-rich environments.
