Your little one will LEAP ahead…
A foundation for lifelong learning
Leap ahead with Downey Unified’s early education program!
In Downey Unified School District, we give our students the best … because they deserve the best. That same level of care and commitment is now available for young learners in our early education program.
As an extension of Downey Unified, Leap provides our little ones (3-year-olds) with a strong foundation to excel in Transitional Kindergarten (TK), Kindergarten and beyond. Leap is a first step into Downey Unified School District where we strive to provide our students with the opportunities and experiences needed to help them succeed.
How does early education benefit your child?
Children who participate in early childhood education programs are more prepared for Kindergarten and the grades following.
Students in early education programs are less likely to need remedial education due to developmental benefits from early education programs.
Children who receive early education are more likely to graduate from high school than children who do not take part in early education programs.
Long term benefits of early education include higher incomes compared to those who do not participate in an early education program.
Success is seen as happy, kind, and respectful children, ready to thrive in TK or Kindergarten. Our incredible staff, along with our families, can help achieve this goal.
Introducing Leap Linguists:
Dual Language Immersion for Early Learners
LEAP Linguists is a new program offering a 50/50 dual language immersion experience in English and Spanish. Students build early language skills through play-based learning and are prepared for the next step in Downey Unified’s G.L.A.D. dual immersion program. Due to limited enrollment, the program is expected to fill quickly. A waitlist will be created once capacity is reached.
