Our Mission: To advance an equitable society by supporting early childhood educators and parents who seek to provide the highest quality care for children.

"I want to congratulate you on what you guys have done and accomplished. I love that you guys are giving quality education to impoverished children because education is so important, especially from a young age. The reason why I am sending this email to you guys is because I am happy to see people are making a change in the world and in the long run, will help our world and society. "

"I just want to say thank you to all you do to help us teachers improve."

"Thanks to Leaps and Bounds Family Services for providing an engaging and informative training experience for our teaching staff. Each year, our agency provides a robust pre-service for our teaching and support staff. Investing in your staff is vital. The array of training topics was one factor in choosing to work with Leaps and Bounds. The opportunity to conduct a private training for our staff was important as well. While networking with other agencies is an important component of our work, the private setting where the facilitators came to our facility complimented our established goals and objectives. The benefit of using the ECE private training provided our staff the opportunity to engage with each other in a familiar and smaller group setting. The ECE facilitators provided a safe environment that allowed for organic conversations to occur. The staff feedback was very positive, and many were interested in learning about the monthly training opportunities that the Early Childhood Educators provide. I highly recommend the ECE training for our educators and will be utilizing their services in the future."

"The Leaps and Bounds CDA program has proven to be invaluable in enhancing the quality of care and education provided to young children within our Center. One aspect of the program that stands out is its emphasis on practical application. As the Program Director, I have observed the CDA candidates directly apply what they learn in their day-to-day interactions with children, demonstrating a deeper understanding and mastery of the competency standards. From a logistical standpoint, the administrative support provided by the CDA training program has been exceptional. From enrollment to completion, our staff members have received timely assistance and guidance every step of the way. The Leaps and Bounds CDA Training Program has been instrumental in elevating the quality of early childhood care and education within our organization. I highly recommend this program to any organization committed to providing high-quality care and education to young children."

"Six years ago, I had an opportunity to attend this amazing CDA class through Leaps and Bounds Family Services but life hit me hard. I had a baby, got married, I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins Lymphoma and I never could take advantage of this program. But the opportunity to participate has come back around full circle and I can receive my CDA. For me, earning my CDA will be a great way to sharpen my teaching skills and stay up to date on the latest developments in early childhood education. I am so blessed. Thank you."

"Thank you so so much for the assessment and the parents' conference form that was a wonderful and thoughtful idea to give parents time to think of any specific matters and write down ahead of time, be prepared, and comfortable. All of the training materials were helpful. Thank you so much for letting me be in class and signing me up at the last minute, I appreciate you so much!"

"Thank you so much. That training was really helpful and I'm so glad we were able to do that. I really appreciate it."

"I really learned a lot today!"

"It was informative and provided valuable educational content that supports my growth in the early childhood field. Its helped me gain practical knowledge I can apply directly to my daycare."

"I absolutely love the trainings you guys have to offer. Especially the webinars that can be accessed any time of the day. This method of PDA training works best for me."

"It’s easier to work with my family schedule after long workdays - eliminates making a long day even longer with extra travel time and fuel expenses. I was able to take away so many valuable things to incorporate in the classroom. It was very meaningful to learn from the instructor as well as gain the perspectives and thoughts of everyone who joined virtually. We were given the opportunity to work together through breakout rooms as well as through the chat."
