Giant Leap Childcare was founded with a specific vision and purpose in mind; to help kids excel and reach their full potential. It has been three years since we began implementing our vision and the feedback that we receive from parents, and their children, allow us to know that we are on the right track. When the parent of a two year old says that all their guests at a party were blown away by how much the little child knew, it is a testament to our deeply held belief children have a limitless potential for learning.
We provide a high quality day care for curious, hungry, developing little minds. Our curriculum is enriched and engaging and is designed to help children learn and become academically proficient, even at a young age.
