"Thank you! These trainings are always so great. Thank you for the wonderful resources. :)"

​Q: "What was the most helpful part of this training?"

A: "That I could take the class at a time that worked for me! (Pre-recorded class)"

"Yay! I got my CDA, and passed my binder, exam, and observation. I really appreciate all the help from you all -- Renae, Kylah, Ms. Green, and Ms. Debbie -- for helping throughout this journey.  I wouldn't have done this without the help and support of you all. Really appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. Thank you so much for everything you did for me!"

''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."

Pre-Recorded Infant and Toddler Trainingrticipant

"I held a CDA in preschool and now that I am older, I recognize the importance of quality infant and toddler programs and I want to be a part of it."

"Noor Academy administration and staff want to convey our heartfelt gratitude for the valuable CDA training provided by Leaps and Bounds Family Services. The dedication of Leaps and Bounds in empowering our staff to achieve the CDA certificate is admirable. We appreciate the excellent, professional, and organized training provided, along with empathy and compassion. 

It was not an easy journey; our seven staff members enrolled in this program went through some lows, and sometimes, it felt like the CDA credential could not be achieved. We were multitasking with work, family, and this course. But to our support, the Leaps and Bounds training staff were always available to help us via emails, texts, phone calls, and Planhero. Ms. Green even came to our center to help us with the application process. We want to thank the Leaps and Bounds team for everything they helped us with!"

"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!"

"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 💕"

"When taking this pre-recorded training, I found the process to be very smooth and easy. The recording was easy to watch and engaging and allowed time for personal reflection. It also included a lot of information that is easy to implement in the classroom and helpful."

"This training was engaging because it allowed time for reflection about our own classrooms as well as insight on how to make changes for the benefit of the children."

"I found the training engaging. I especially liked the suggested book resources at the end of the training. I also like the idea of encouraging the parents to share home pictures to use to tell stories. One way I will change how I teach based on this training is to place pictures of children and their families on the wall in various places in the classroom and tell stories about the children. I also plan to take pictures of the children during the day and make little story books using small photo albums (I loved that idea).  I will educate my parents on the importance of building language rich environments."

"Thank you. Sometimes even the most skilled or seasoned teachers need reminders of basic concepts to help us reflect on reframing, explaining, or redefining our why! Intentionality is key and some things are embedded in our practice, and we need to share or elevate our practices."

"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."

“I had a great time interacting with fellow childcare workers and gaining new understanding.”
