"Omg! Thank you so much for the love, support, and this opportunity. Thank you for another chance as well with the portfolio class. It was very much needed and appreciated. I cried this morning, I wasn't expecting the results to come back that quickly. I am proud of myself for all I've been through. I made it. I did it. I can't thank you enough. I love you, Mrs. Green. Thank you. Big hugs for you!

Thank you & Leaps N Bounds Family Services 💕"

"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."

''The web-based format allowed me to complete the training in my own time without the constraints of having to attend to different work commitments or obligations."

"The most helpful part of the training was learning about child development stages and how to create activities that match each child’s needs and abilities. I will focus on using more age-appropriate teaching strategies to support infants’ and toddlers’ growth. I’ll also work on improving my observation and documentation skills to better track each child’s development and needs."

"Thank you for a great class!"

"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."

"I’d like to share that the training gave me new insights into how small daily interactions can significantly impact children’s learning and development. I’m excited to apply these strategies and see the positive effects on the children I work with."

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

"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!"

"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 just wanted to let you know how much we appreciate the opportunity that you have provided us by being our Quality Improvement Coach. Working through self-reflection with you has continued to help improve our practices, even though we maintain a high level, we are continually learning. Sheila, working as a team to understand the indicators has helped support long-term development and success here at Babes. Forming this strong relationship with you has helped build connections, and is helping to create a collaborative learning environment. The teacher's response has been amazing. I have been witnessing AH-Ha moments from the staff and have been thrilled with their motivation. We just can't thank you enough for your continued support."

"Thank you for inquiring about my CDA journey. I finished up the credentialing process in October. I am now a proud recipient of a CDA certificate for preschool. Thank you for all your help and for reviewing my portfolio in August."
