Our groundbreaking
L.E.A.P.® Curriculum
for kindergarteners
Our early childhood education program for kindergarteners was developed and improved over 40 years and is available at participating centers across the country. Our proprietary L.E.A.P. (Learning Experience Academic Program) Curriculum includes a phonics program, foreign language programs, manners and etiquette, physical fitness, and a philanthropy program for kindergarteners preparing for first grade.
Together these programs, along with enrichment programs that are offered* at no additional charge, provide a well-rounded early education to kindergarteners—one that’s developed to meet national standards and proven to get children on the path to a bright future.
Our approach to kindergarten education (5 years old)
Entering kindergarten is one of the biggest steps your child will take and selecting the appropriate kindergarten environment is important. Our kindergarten classes combine our L.E.A.P early education curriculum with an environment of fun, open-ended exploration, investigation, discovery, and building self-confidence and self-esteem. It’s the perfect opportunity for optimum growth in academics, socialization, physical fitness, and emotional well-being.
