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 am very happy to announce that I have been awarded my CDA credentials on this day. It was a long journey with many hours of Saturday class interactions, building up the portfolio, and finally setting up the visit and the exam.

It would not have been possible without the Leaps and Bounds program and individual dedicated support from Ms Green. I am very delighted to have earned the credentials and make good friends throughout the journey. I look forward to continue having a long-lasting connection with the support system while I embark on my next goals. 

Thank you again for all the support provided throughout."

"It allowed me to gain new perspectives and better understand how others approach similar situations in childcare. it was insightful to see things through different lenses while also reflecting on my own views. I really enjoyed this class. 10/10!"

"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."

"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 for giving us these trainings to improve our understanding of children."

"This worked out really well to be able to take the Class whenever you have free time! I really enjoyed the class and found the information very useful. Thank you!"

"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."

"Thank you for a great class!"

"I really learned a lot today!"

"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."

"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."

"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!"
