Leaping Learners Preschool is a dedicated play-based program located in the heart of Bernal Heights. Inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, the preschool provides a material-rich environment that stimulates curiosity, social interaction, and emotional development. The program focuses on creating a nurturing space where children can explore their interests and build a strong foundation for lifelong learning through hands-on experiences.

“Our environment promotes social and emotional development with a material-rich setting that stimulates social interactions among children. We believe in providing a space that encourages peers to engage with one another through activities that foster self-discovery and a sense of community.”
