They have been like an extended family to us over…read morethe past 10 years since we enrolled our first child in the infant room and I will forever be grateful for the incredible care, patience, and love they have provided my three kids over the years. This place will always hold a special place in my heart! A few specific things that I want to call out, as I have found them incredibly valuable to me over the years. -GBLB is independently owned. The owner, Abby, is engaged, thoughtful, and incredible with kids. She is easy to contact and responsive. (I feel compelled to mention that she also has expert level face painting skills that each of my kids have loved!) -The staff are equally wonderful and most have been there for the full 10 years we have been at GBLB. I have loved the consistency this has provided my family/kids and they have all been remarkable. -Everyone is communicative and collaborative. I felt like we were all on the same team supporting each of my kids in their individual needs.

Having pandemic babies is hard enough, then adding all the "normal" things in "not normal" times is just a whole new world. Abby and her staff have made this transition easy and have given us peace of mind. We highly recommend them Growing By Leaps & Bounds!

The directors, Leighann and Maureen, are truly wonderful, and his teachers are so inviting, smart, hard-working, and loving. The classroom management is pretty stellar (which isn't easy in a preschool room!), and my son loves the food (they provide all meals and snacks throughout the day, which is a huge plus). They have a great outdoor space, and their hours are super convenient. I will say the price is on the higher end of what I've found, but it's been completely worthwhile to have such amazing partnership in my son's care. Highly recommend!

Loved this daycare! Awesome teachers…read more Our baby started going to daycare here first, and loved it. The teachers are all great! The teachers in infant, toddler are amazing. They looked after all the kids very well, and we felt very comfortable leaving our baby with them. They did a lot of art work too which adorns our house now. They take credit cards for monthly payments - A plus! The office staff could have been better though. They aren't very responsive to emails, and everything takes endless follow-up.

I absolutely love the structure it provides the kids while exposing them to educational material in a fun and engaging way. For example, my daughter recently came home with a "gravity painting" which was paint dripping down a piece of paper. What a great idea!! The teachers are all so warm and friendly, which is such a comfort when leaving your child there all day. They always have smiles on their faces and are ready to be silly with them. On more than one occasion, my daughter has been sad because she "misses Miss Melissa" or "misses Miss Tiffany." I feel so lucky I found the School for Early Excellence!!

Lacking Empathy and Basic Human Kindess…read more I had been hired by Kiddie Academy with the hopes and promises of advancing my career in early education only to find discrimination and cruelty. They have admitted to being against hiring males specifically and fired me as soon as they found out I had become homeless. I had worked hard for the short period I was there and gave everything they demanded as quickly and efficiently as I could just for them to terminate me for reasons out of my control. As soon as the Director, Nancy, was told I was living in hotels due to my mobile home being crashed into by a snowplow (enough to have left damage making it unlivable) she fired me. It did not matter how good of a worker I was for them, she discriminated against me due to my currently living hardships and in turn making life in general much harder after letting me go. I had even turned down other positions for this job just to be treated in this way. On top of all of this, I still have not been paid for my time there AND Nancy tried to cut down the hours I would get paid. Are these the kind of people you want teaching your kids? Lacking empathy and basic human compassion, sexist, do you really want your kids growing and learning from an environment and people like that? Trust me, if you love or care for your child, you will go elsewhere because they don't care about your child just the money they bring in.

Our four year old has been attending The Wonder Years his entire time on this Earth. We're very…read morehappy with the teachers and the way the school is run. The way the school progresses the kids through their classroom system is brilliant, keeping each kid with their own age group and abilities. Nevan has always looked forward to each day at school and literally runs through the front door each day to whichever classroom he's been in. To go along with this our older two kids had attended a different daycare/preschool which we were very happy with at the time. Due to live changes our middle guy and youngest had to start attending a different school (Wonder Years). While we were extremely happy with our original daycare we quickly saw how much Wonder Years blew it out of the water in comparison. Wonder Years also made it extremely easy for our middle guy to transition from his original school. He quickly made new friends, which he still has to this day and enjoyed his last year of preschool there which prepared him greatly for kindergarten. Thank you Karen and staff for taking such great care of our kids. Due to the nature of work/life you spend a lot of quality time with our kids and we have a great piece of mind knowing that they are in your hands when they are not with mom and dad.

The facilities are nice and clean, and the teachers and directors listen to our kids and parents.

From the owner: At L.E.A.P. Childcare we believe that you are never too young to discover what you are great at and…read morehow you learn best! Each child is special and unique, and we strive to instill a positive self-image in everyone. We encourage an environment that focuses on learning through play and exploration. Through this, we also support and foster the social, emotional and physical development of children. L.E.A.P. Childcare's curriculum in each classroom focuses on a balanced mix of structured teacher-directed activities and independent learning. We believe it is important for children to be given time each day to learn by exploration; whether that means inside with one of our many learning manipulatives or outside discovering the world around them. The possibilities are endless! Children are also given time each day for unstructured free play. During this time, children will not only be given more opportunities to explore their environment and the materials in it, but this time will also promote the development of social skills, critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Unstructured free play is the perfect time for children to discover their interests and express themselves. *Preschool students must be age 2.9 in order to enroll* *Pre-K students must be age 4 in order to enroll.*
