Legacy Child Enrichment Center
ABOUT OUR LEGACY
OUR
PHILOSOPHY
The Legacy Center is a Christian child enrichment program under the umbrella of Grey Stone Church. We strive to provide individual, developmental care for children 6 weeks to 5 years of age. Our focus is a high quality, developmentally appropriate care with an emphasis on Christian values.
OUR
HISTORY
The Legacy Center was formerly known as Grey Stone Christian Learning Center (CLC). The CLC was established in 1943 and is the longest continually running daycare center in NC. It operated out of an old, white mill house for over sixty years and housed about sixty children ages two to five.
OUR
FUTURE
In February of 2013, the CLC was proud to expand into a new state-of-the art facility with a capacity of 120 children ages 6 weeks to 5 years, now called Legacy Child Enrichment Center. We have transitioned from daycare to an early care and childhood education. While we have a new building a new name, our dedication to serving the Durham community has not wavered.

OUR
CURRICULUM
In 2019, we introduced the Christian faith-based curriculum called Pinnacle. It is a research-based early childhood curriculum based on the works of Piaget, Gardner and Erikson. The curriculum is developmentally sound providing age-appropriate activities and Scriptures that remind us of the presence of God every day.
OUR
PURPOSE
The Legacy Center is an extension of Grey Stone Church. Our commitment is to provide a safe and secure, nurturing environment, where your child will thrive and develop a love for learning: Changing the future one child at a time.
