When we were left in a bit of a pickle for childcare with my newly 2 year old a good friend recommended Leon Early Childhood Center. Their child was there for 2 years and was thriving so they excitedly told me about this school now that she was old enough to attend. The teachers and staff have been amazing with communication. No live cameras for the parents which I actually prefer for safety reasons. But they have an app where they keep parents up to date with what is happening during the day with pictures and videos. You can message with the teachers in the app as well. My daughter has been thriving in her class and absolutely loves her teachers. In the words of my daughter Do you like your school? - “It’s good! I like see friends”. What is your favorite part? - “Days of week *clap clap*, sing good morning, LMNOP, learning letters and dance dance dance”
Nicole GiesenOct 21, 2025When our family had a child care need, my wife met with Mrs. Sandy to see if our child would be a good fit. She was on the younger side but she was advanced for her age. She was welcomed with open arms and treated like family. As a parent, I’m very impressed with the level of professionalism and care provided to my child. They consider everything and accommodate more then they need to. I highly recommend anyone consider Leon Early Childhood Center for their child care needs. Thank you Mrs. Sandy and your team for giving my child the best care possible.
John Gaillard Jr.Sep 26, 2025It’s a great school my daughter has been going here for two years now and absolutely loves it the teachers and the staff are absolutely wonderful and the kids thrive so well here.
natalie TJun 23, 2024Hello! My boys go to Leon, my younger boy more than my older boy. My younger boy who is 3 was a rough one to acclimate. The Leon staff/teachers/director/assistant director were very patient with him. Notation: he was kicked out of his last Pre-school and 8 others wouldn’t take him. I had two to choose from and we chose Leon because of their therapeutic kind environment. Not to mention, the events are amazing. We were in a parade! Highly recommend this school!
Kathryn LagneseJun 29, 2023My son absolutely loves this school, as do I. The director, staff and teachers take the time to understand every child's needs and build a relationship with each one. My son struggled in other daycare/schools but we found the perfect fit at LECC. In 6 months he has come so far not only in social skills but academically. He is excited to go to school now and sometimes doesn't want to leave. 😊
Irene PortanovaJun 29, 2023Awesome school. Our 3 year old (asd) has been going since January and we couldn't be happier. He was welcomed with open arms and treated amazingly. Our 5 year old (also asd) also occasionally attends and we are very pleased with his experience as well.
