We have had a great experience with my son so far. The teachers are caring, patient and loving with the kids and communication is great. Highly recommend to other families
I absolutely love this daycare my kids are well taken care of! The teachers and office staff communicate well with parents on anything and everything!
Leaps-N-Bounds is a great school and the staff and teachers are truly wonderful!! Our kiddo had a great experience there, and now our two foster kids are also thriving there! The team at Leaps has been so kind, caring, understanding, and accommodating for us over the years and we’re so glad to have them as an amazing resource for our family. We are grateful for all that they do to take care of our kids and teach/prepare them for Elementary school. Love this place!!
We are going on 8 combined years of having kids at Leaps and it continues to be an amazing experience. As new comers to Austin several years ago, finding great childcare was a huge stressor for us. Since day one at Leaps, this huge stressor flipped and became the cornerstone of what we love about the Northwest Hills neighborhood and feel so grateful for the years of care!
I had two children at Leaps N Bounds for a year and a half. Annette and team were responsive to my concerns and inquires while also being caring and engaging with my children. The teachers are patient and provide ample and appropriate guidance to the kiddos who attend the school. I would highly recommend this child care center if you live or work in the north Austin area.
