Your little one will LEAP ahead…

Big Learning Starts Small

Leap ahead with Downey Unified’s early education program!

At three, every day is an opportunity to learn something new.
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.
