Testimonials

"I received the best news this morning that I had received my CDA credential. I am so excited and just wanted to thank you and all the staff at Leaps and Bounds for all of your help and support throughout the process. From Kylah Washington's well composed and organized emails to get us started. Chamayne Green and Debra helping us at each of our Cohort sessions and check-in sessions. I definitely felt like I had so much support to keep me motivated from beginning to end. I could not have asked for a better group of people to learn and grow from during this process and I am so happy to be able to share my success with you.

Thank you all so much,"

Laurie Tomlinson, CDA Course, Nov 2023
