  • LEO has changed our lives in more positive ways than we can count. The compassion, warmth, love, and care our daughter is shown makes drop off in the mornings relieving. We are comforted to know that she is SAFE AND SECURE in such a fantastic educational facility while we are at work. Teachers provide daily photos and updates that make us smile. LEO deserves 100 stars. We are so thankful and grateful to be a part of the LEO family.

  • This review is based on our experience trying to contact this daycare about two years ago while searching for childcare. We were never able to reach anyone despite multiple phone calls, voicemails, and emails. Calls were never answered, voicemails were never returned, and emails went unanswered. We eventually stopped by in person. A staff member spoke to us through the doorbell/intercom and told us the director was in the building but didn't have time to meet with us. We explained that we had already tried contacting them multiple times and simply wanted to schedule a tour or speak with someone about enrollment. We were told to just email the director again. After standing outside the front door for about 10 minutes trying to figure out how to get in touch with someone, we left and sent yet another email. We never received a response. I can't comment on the quality of care because we were never able to get that far. However, the complete lack of communication was extremely frustrating and gave the impression of poor management. At a minimum, prospective parents deserve a response.

  • We are so fortunate to be a part of the Leo family! Miss Bri and Mrs. T, along with the rest of the teachers, have helped my son become confident and independent and reach important developmental milestones. He clearly has so much fun and learns every single day and I have great peace of mind leaving him with the Leo team. I am continually impressed with the endless passion and energy of our teachers! Lastly, they provide detailed feedback to parents and are highly organized in managing admissions. Thank you, Leo!

  • Highly recommended. I sent both of my kids to Leo for the last 6 years. They were happy there, well educated and well prepped for kindergarten, made wonderful friendships and adored the teachers. I always felt that my kids were safe and taken care of there, and I appreciated the constant communication and dedication from the staff.

  • I cannot say enough good things about Leo Academy! My son has been going to Leo full time since he was three months old and we are now preparing to send him off to kindergarten. The teachers have been fantastic every step of the way! The facility is very clean and well maintained. I love that they have always done special things for the kids like bringing in dentists to talk to the class, fire truck visits, Soccer Shots is offered at the facility during business hours, petting zoos, ice cream trucks, music classes, having a librarian visit regularly for story time, etc. My 5 star rating comes from the source, my son. Knowing that he has felt loved and supported at Leo speaks volumes. Highly recommend to anyone looking for childcare.

  • We have been at Leo for about 8 months now and we could not be HAPPIER! As being a kindergarten teacher, I have high expectation and standards for childcare and Leo exceeds them all. The staff is absolutely fantastic and I feel at ease leaving my child in their care. I highly recommend this daycare to anybody who needs child care.
