Maria's Story

Kindergarten, Class of 2024

Maria started K at Legends unable to read. Her two teachers noticed quickly and used small-group instruction during math to target her phonics skills. By winter, she was catching up. By spring, she was proud to share her own written stories with the class. "She found her voice," her mom says. "And she loves coming to school."

With two teachers in every classroom, every scholar gets noticed. Every scholar grows.

What K Scholars Learn

Balanced literacy: phonics, guided reading, writer's workshop, listening

Mathematics: number sense, patterns, shapes, problem-solving

Science: hands-on exploration, life science, physical science

Social studies: community, cultural celebration, mapping

Financial literacy: understanding money, saving concepts, simple transactions

Arts: visual arts, music, movement, creative expression

Social-emotional learning: kindness, cooperation, emotional regulation

Outdoor play: 30+ minutes daily, nature exploration, physical development

Every subject is integrated. Financial concepts show up in math, social studies, and reading. Learning is joyful, not siloed.
