"I truly enjoyed the training and found it both engaging and inspiring. I appreciate all the support and resources you and your team provide for professional development. I will definitely review the upcoming training calendars and hope to join more sessions in the future. Thank you again for your guidance and encouragement. I look forward to continuing my learning journey with your programs"

''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."

"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."

"I am a Licensed Childcare provider and I wanted to submit this letter on behalf of my Quality Improvement Coaching.

She is such an inspirational and motivational coach. She goes above and beyond the call of her job. She has a tender heart for the care of the children and for the Childcare Providers that provide the care for them. Every time she comes to my home or talks on the phone she is so efficient and provides so much helpful information to help make my job better and the best it can be. Anytime I call her she calls back and if she can answer my question she will or if she can't she will get the answer and call me back or direct me where I can go to get what I need.

She makes me feel appreciated and much more than what some may call just a babysitter. She has motivated me to go further in my job and is always excited about my advancements and achievements. Even in the midst of her life suffering she was still available to us. I just wanted to share this with you on her behalf. This was on my heart and I wanted to let you know how I feel and my appreciation for her kindness, hard work, diligence, and efficiency. Thank you for all that you all make possible for us.

Have a wonderful blessed day."

"I think it was awesome of you to allow our Infant/Toddler cohort sessions to continue with your support. These classes are supportive to childcare workers that help us to continue.

Thanks, you rock."

"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."

"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 💕"

"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. "

"The questions encouraged me to find new solutions and answers and the activities were engaging and applicable in the classroom."

"Thank you for a great class!"

"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!"

"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."
