Writing this review is very close to my heart as I have two 3 children that attended Leap and Bound Academy. I can’t begin to express my gratitude for all the years they nurtured and thought my children. My older daughter who is now 16 is an amazing straight A student and that’s all thanks to quality curriculum that was thought at Leap and Bound. Ms. Sue set an amazing foundation of learning for both my kids. All staff are caring and I trust and appreciate them like family. Ms. Erin is very kind and professional. Ms. Diana is very kind and takes great pride in making sure the academy is always excelling all standards. Ms. Djene is an angel and I will never forget how she helped me with the emotional transition of dropping off my 2 year old son. I can not believe he is now 5 and grateful couple weeks ago. I will always be grateful for leap and bound academy as they hold a special place in my heart and a long chapter in my life. I would not trust my children in anyone else’s care. Thank you Leap and Bound.

We love Leap and Bound!!! The teachers are incredibly kind, patient, and enthusiastic about both learning and play. Miss Jeong showed exceptional kindness to my son when he needed extra care during his initial days. Miss DeJahnea is fantastic and manages a wonderful program. The open-concept building allows the children to get to know each other, and there's ample time dedicated to outdoor play. Miss Inoka did an excellent job preparing my son for kindergarten, covering letters, numbers, and phonics. In the STEM class, led by teacher Hunter on Tuesdays and Thursdays, my child is exposed to concepts that I never learned at that age and we always left talking about science. I highly recommend Leap and Bound; you can trust that your child is in capable and caring hands.

Both my kids have been going there off and on for at least 4 years now. They are very good at preparing the kids for kindergarten. They follow the individual learning curve of the different kids to adapt to their age and level. My kids have always enjoyed the food that is served. The schedule is very flexible for drop off and pick up. They have fun additional activities offered (at extra cost) like science, soccer and dance.

Ms. Erin and her team run a very good day care program we've been sending our daughter to, through the past year and have no complaints. They're great with their communication to parents, keep the children busy and having fun with play time and learning activities, send out daily updates etc. They are wonderful working with, understanding and supportive of things that come up in the lives of working parents.A big shout out to Ms. Erin again, Ms. Michelle, Ms. Djoni, Ms. Sue, Ms. Susan and to the awesome Chef Jose! Keep up the good work!

My son absolutely loves LBA and so do we. The teachers there are amazing. Miss Mary, Miss. Mitra, and Ms. Michelle showed our son so much love and treated him with lots of kindness and compassion. He loves going to school and we know he's receiving the best pre-school academics. He loves going to STEAM class and learning about the environment around him. My son, who is a picky eater, loves all of the meals that Chef José prepares. We would highly recommend LBA for local families that are looking for an academic preschool with child care.

Honestly I spoke on the phone with the owner for less than five minutes and instantly knew this wouldn't be the place for us. It's not a great sign that they have openings immediately when other places have waitlists and more screening criteria. Then having all these parameters about screening and just weird fees. It's just not my favorite way to interact with someone on the phone.

Wow wow wow. If you care for your child please read!!!! Short story:Diana is a terrible and very rude person. She made me cry for how nasty she is, and I am a mom who was just attending a tour to potentially enroll my boy in daycare. She layed a hand on me and pushed me. She is lucky I didnt press charges. There is a reason why all the good preschools only have wait list, and this is the only one that is available. That was a red flag for me in the beginning.When she laid a hand on me to push me, I didn't even say anything because I am not a rude person and I let it slide (unfortunately, this was before the harrasment) . So how are the kids being treated here?Horrible communication, she is not about making parents comfortable. You will feel her energy when and God forbid you meet her and through her Emails. God forbid you ask her any extra questions through the emails (like itinerary, or seeing a class etc) because when we met, she started saying, I quote" YOU ARE REDICULOUSE, I THOUGHT YOU WERE A FAKE MOM WITH A FAKE CHILD" are you kidding meeee???!! A person who gets hot and cold like that must be on meds. I was nice and patient the whole time. Even when I suspected odd behavior. Please read the long story of you really want to know details. I would listen to the horrible reviews.Long story:I first call Diana and she answers the phone with a loud dog barking in the background. OK so she does business from home, not very professional but overlooked it. Then we start emailing each other. I asked her questions like can I see the class she said no because of covid, i accepted. I asked for the itinerary, she gives me a wierd pushback. Then I asked if I can see the class outside for 20 through the window, she said no only 5in. I said OK fine. I was pretty flexible to see if this will work out. With an open mind. She sends me the times and days she is available. I schedule it within the time she has given me which was 3pm, then I get I quote "OK I can't because I need car service. Umm OK it was listed In your email. Again the next one I try to schedule. Again she is busy with whatever CAN'T. (at this point I have been very patient with her) by the way her tone this whole time has not been anything like welcoming or kind. She's treating it like military, just very cold and indifferent.She knows that I want to see two locations. The first time we tried to schedule this it was for both. When it had to be rescheduled (because of her car or cat or whatever & I wasn't sure if I needed to confirm both locations or just one) I thought she was going to be smart enough to maybe double-check with me etc. Finally we set the schedule I get a "woo-hoo" message from her. I actually was surprised. When I met her she she told me that she said that because she was mocking me.THE FUN Part!! So I finally meet her ( and I'm in a very nice sweet kind of mood, flexible and willing to work with people). she asked to see my boy walking. I asked her what is she looking for in the assessment for kids in general. There is an awkward silence pause like that's the craziest question I should ever ask. Very weird but I dismissed it. She talks and talks and talks and talks. And she makes it seem like she's very militant with the children. She has absolutely no parents can go in the room for covid. I absolutely respect that. She told me she wanted me to put my son in the room with the other kids. Now where the doorway is the kids are very far on the other side of the room. I only take one step through the doorway to put my son down and Diana had the audacity as I was putting my son down and bent over she pulled my shoulder back and push me and said "NO PARENTS ALLOWED!" in aharsh voice. It is illegal to lay your hands on anyone. But guess what I still kept my calm cool and Collective oh, and I didn't even address it I just dismissed it. (I should have said something, but I wanted to pay my respect to the elder, and I want what's best for my son).In a very non-committal wa

Great school with accessible location off of PCH! Hot meals daily, with small class sizes. My lil guy has learned so much. At 3 he is counting to 50; knows his alphabet and shapes - and is starting to write letters! My favorite was when he starting pointing out things that looked like a rhombus on one of our drives.
