Our little girl has been going to see Mrs. Tosha for a year and a half and it has been a blessing! Her prices are incredible (especially considering daycare costs on the rise) and Mrs. Tosha is hands-down one of the most calm and collected humans I have ever met. She has been doing this for around 20 years and it shows. It's like she was built for this type of work! Her care has been reliable, consistent, and in our daughter's works "Mrs. Tosha is really nice to me." In addition to that, any time we had a question or concern she took time out of her day to immediately address them. Our daughter has made friends, learned a lot during her 40 hours a week spent here, and overall we were able to entirely trust the safety and integrity of this establishment. Thank you Mrs. Tosha for taking care of our girl! We will always be grateful for you!!!

Our son had a great time this summer with Mrs Tosha! We always felt like he was safe and well taken care of. Tosha manages her business well, and there was never any problems. Our son thrived in her care and she is greatly appreciated for it.

My two daughters loved it here. Mrs. Tosha was wonderful with teaching and caring for the children. My daughters would get in the car singing everyday about what they learn and discovered for the day. Highly Recommended

Neighborhood always blasts horrible Banda music. Can't sleep until 2AM. Hearing the music as I type this. Don't trust people that blatantly disregard their neighbor's peace of mind. They do nothing to remedy the problem.

Mrs Tosha is amazing! I started looking for care near where I work (in Everman) because the care facilities near our home (in Azle) were not up to the 'challenge' of dealing with a taller than average, high energy, high emotion, little girl with communication issues. It was so sad, my girl loved school, but it was feeling very hard to find her a good fit with people I felt I could trust. She needed interaction with other kids, she needed work with her speech. Her pediatrician and the director at Young Sprouts (a place that 'couldn't handle her') recommended having her tested for autism. She was tested, she's not on the spectrum. She did have a speech delay for which a speech therapist was recommended and we did use. After a little while the therapist agreed with us that a school setting would be good for her skills and kinder prep. I was searching and searching and I count my lucky stars all the time that I found Mrs Tosha! She was very responsive when I inquired about space, she was a thorough interviewer and interviewee, and she is so clearly invested in the kids she cares for and their education. She an actual teacher too, not just someone hired off the street and paid minimum wage to be a baby sitter that they call a teacher. My now four year old, almost five year old, is doing SO much better with her speech and that was our main concern. She loved learning and was recently re-evaluated by the elementary that she will be attending for Kindergarten for her preparedness for Kinder and she's AHEAD of what is expected already. That was more than we were hoping for. Our priorities were safety, socialization, and speech, and we got so much more. Out two year old also goes to Mrs Tosha and she'll probably pass up her sister ;) . I know our eldest is going to be heart broken when she won't be going to school with Mrs Tosha anymore and I really don't look forward to that myself.
As for the one star review that's been left by a "thehum", it's BS. I bet I know who this is too. The neighborhood is not loud. The neighborhood is not dangerous or run-down or anything untoward. The kids in the houses nearby all play together, are very courteous to visitors, and sweet to my kids when I pick them up in the afternoon. I've even thought about moving here myself. That reviewer has some obvious biases about the diverse people who live in this area and they don't have a student in this small school. Please ignore.
Mrs. Tosha is a blessing to our lives and I'm going to be very sad when it's time for us to say goodbye.

Five stars is not enough for the great care Mrs Tosha has given to our Child.He has learned so much with her and rest of the children. We love the structure she has in place and the positive outcome on the children. I cannot say enough about her. Thank you. Maribel and Dulio

My son started Leaping Forward LC at 18 months and it was by far the best choice. As a first time parent, I was very hesitant and nervous about having to leave my child in the care of others while we worked. That went right out the window when we met Mrs. Tosha! She made us feel so comfortable and welcomed. My son was learning new things every day and soon enough he knew letters and shapes, states and capitals, and even his colors in Spanish. Her teaching is very well rounded and thorough. We are so grateful for having found Leaping Forward LC and I highly recommend it!

3yrs ago I stumbled across Leaping Forward LC when looking for childcare for my 18mo old. My son is now 4yrs old and still going, and by far one of the best decisions I have made as a parent. She is not just a babysitter, but a full time teacher and care provider. It amazes me how much knowledge is packed inside that 4yr old’s brain, and a big thanks is to Mrs Tosha. He learns something new every day, and that’s always our favorite thing to discuss on our way home…what did Mrs Tosha teach you today?! Between letters and numbers, states and continents, biology and anatomy, and even different languages….what 4yr old knows that stuff? It blows my mind. And then on top of that, Mrs Tosha has a heart of gold and truly cares for the children she has in her program. You know you are leaving your children in a loving and safe environment, and can rest easy when you are away. My 2nd child started her program too, and she took him in with open arms and he is already blossoming. Mrs Tosha is truly a blessing and I will forever be grateful to her patience and loving care for my two sons. I hit the jackpot when I found her!

Little Man has attended Leaping Forward LC since he was almost 2! He is now going on 6 and headed to the big boys school (Kindergarten). We don't want to leave! When dropping off your child your heart won't hurt, because you are dropping him /her off with family! He is beyond ready for Kindergarten and they are discussing honors for 1st grade! I didn't do that all by myself, Ms. Tosha was there, right along side of me - encouraging and teaching him. You know you found a great teacher /care provider when your little one is 3, falls off the sofa and states " I think I bruised my Clavicle!" It takes a village and we were truly blessed to have found Leaping Forward LC.

Mrs. Tosha is just amazing. All 3 of my children have been to her. Not only is she patient and kind, the children learn behavioral expectations. Then there is the curriculum. My 3 year old is essentially kinder ready with all he knows. She is organized, and professional as well. You will always know what your child is learning because of her monthly newsletters. We all love her!

My kids were with Ms. Tosha for about a year and a half. She took such good care of my daughter and son. They learned numbers, letters, letter sounds, history, geography and spelling. Her passion for teaching is obvious and she loves on every one of the kids she cares for. I would highly recommend her!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED HOME CARE! Mrs. Tosha did an excellent job with building on what my daughter had learned prior to joining the Leaping forward family. Her curriculum definitely has my 3 year old well above her learning level. I'm absolutely amazed at the knowledge she has... We absolutely LOVE her! If you're in the area and need reasonable quality childcare Leaping Forward Learning Center is definitely a place where you won't be dissatisfied.
