Providing your child with an extraordinary beginning to education and physical activity is one of the most important things you can do to ensure success.  Leap'n Learners ignites a child's mind and awakens a passion for learning and movement that will last a lifetime.

Leap'n Learners offers a complete preschool curriculum.
Children begin the process of becoming readers, writers, listeners, and speakers.  They learn to count; identify numbers on calendars and clocks; and sort, match, count, and graph shapes.  They explore and expand their knowledge about schools, families, and communities.  They receive a wonderful introduction to visual art, music, dance and tumbling.

Our creative curriculum and exciting, proven teaching methods give young children a well-balanced education.  Students become excited about learning as they find joy and self-worth through achievement as they explore and begin to master foundational skills.

Our students leave our classes prepared and confident in their abilities and are ready to tackle new subjects.

ABOUT OUR CLASSES 
From the moment your child walks through the door, they will enter a world of fun and exploration that actively develops physical and mental abilities, sharpens skills, and sets the stage for a happy, productive lifetime of learning.

FIRST HOUR: MOVEMENT/FUN/FITNESS
Preschool Tumbling (first day of week)
This class is specially designed to stimulate and develop motor skills, strength, coordination, and awareness through movement. The class will motivate your child to move, bend, balance, stretch, and succeed. 
Preschool Dance (second day of week)
Develops beginning skills in all styles of dance while building coordination, rhythm, musicality, team work, memory, creativity, good posture, self esteem, and social skills. Preschoolers learn to love movement by exploring through improvisations, props, and stories.  Provides an outlet for children’s needs to move and express themselves.
Friday Fun Day: Our Friday students get to participate in extra fun activites!  Our Friday curruculum includes the following special areas of study: science fun, cooking fun, sports fun, and spanish fun.  Students that attend on Friday also get a great chance to review what they learned throughout the week, and our results show us that they excel academically.

SECOND HOUR: CLASS CENTERS
Discovery Centers- Children explore materials and interact with each other to develop social skills.  Centers include manipulatives, block play, dramatic play, sensory, math, and art.  Teachers work one on one with children and in small groups.
Art- Art stimulates the creativity in each student and  is often themed around the literature of the day or seasonal themes and holidays. Children explore and create their own designs with various mediums.
Math- Math teaches children what numbers represent and how to use them. Number sense is developed by using manipulative objects.  Children classify, group, and regroup objects; recognize patterns; identify numbers by the amount in the groups; and begin to understand addition and subtraction.

    THIRD HOUR:  LITERACY, MUSIC, AND SCIENCE
    Literacy Skills- We use fun, musical, phonics-based methods to teach our children reading and writing.  Rather than memorize every word, students learn how words are formed and how to sound them out.  When confronted with a new word, the student uses phonics concepts to sound the word out without guessing.  Phonics establishes strong reading and spelling skills. Students practice forming and writing letters every day while holding pencils correctly.
    Circle Time- Class gathers for calendar, weather, review, patriotic songs, positive character-connection songs, and more.
    Story Time- Reading from well-written literature enlarges children's comprehension, increases vocabulary, and improves listening and speaking skills. They develop an understanding for characters and events that relate to life. They travel to places they are unable to go, & their imagination is stimulated. They predict outcomes and learn values.
    Music, Nursery Rhymes, Finger Plays- Children love learning with music.  Students interpret the words of a selection with gestures and actions, as well as learning about rhyming words and keeping the beat.  Rhymes further extend understanding and use of the form and function of language. Memorization skills are developed. We use music to teach and reinforce concepts taught in the classroom.
    Scientific Reasoning- Science helps children understand the world around them.  Weekly hands-on experiments make science exciting.  A variety of animals and their habitats are studied, as well as identifying characteristics of human needs and the life cycle.

    All of these activities take place in an environment where learning is as rewarding and enjoyable as playtime -- and where our young students have nearly unlimited opportunities to explore the world and examine their place in it.

    FACULTY
    Our preschool's real strength is derived from our teachers who are dedicated, well trained, and qualified by experience.  They have impressive credentials and work closely with every child.  Our teachers are committed to their callings as educators and have an unquenchable love for teaching and learning.  Meet our preschool teachers HERE.

PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT
The partnership between parent and teacher is a priority, and we value that connection in our program so parents can have an active, ongoing role in their children's education.  We keep parents informed through weekly newsletters, student evaluations, and parent consultations. Together we can help your child achieve their full potential.

WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING:
"My daughter has been going to Leap'n Learners Preschool for 2 years and she loves it!  I really like that they have structured physical activity in their curriculum.  She looks forward to all the fun activities they do.  The best part is that she can participate in dance and tumbling to see if she likes it without taking her to a separate class each week.  She is very sad that she is not going to have dance at her new school when she starts kindergarten this year.  The preschool teachers are great and have well organized classes."

"I have consistently been impressed with the enthusiasm and love the instructors have shown for my children.  My son has demonstrated significant gains in motor skills as a result of the weekly structured activities provided by the preschool program.  I am equally pleased with the academics.  Most important to me was that he learn to enjoy learning.  He is three years old and he loves his preschool.  From day one he has been excited to attend.  Thank you very much Leap'n Learners Preschool"
