Your little one will LEAP ahead…
Big Learning Starts Small
Leap ahead with Downey Unified’s early education program!
Through hands-on learning, play and exploration, children at Leap build independence, make friends, develop motor skills, express themselves, solve problems and discover the joy of learning, all while gaining confidence in a classroom environment.
As part of Downey Unified, Leap also gives your child a familiar first step into our schools, helping them feel comfortable, connected and ready as they transition to TK and beyond.
Leap helps your little one grow into a confident, capable learner, one small step at a time.
That’s the Leap difference.
