Welcome

Welcome to LEAPP (Lakeside Early Advantage Preschool Programs)

Where Learning Begins with Joy and Discovery

We’re so excited to welcome you and your child to LEAPP — our early childhood program designed to spark curiosity, build confidence, and set the foundation for lifelong learning.

At LEAPP, we operate on a traditional 38-week school year, providing a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment where your child can explore, learn, and grow. Our programs are led by experienced, licensed educators who understand how young children learn best — through play, creativity, and meaningful connections.

Programs Offered:

  • Traditional English Preschool (ages 2.9–4)
  • Spanish-Enriched Preschool (ages 2.9–4)
  • State-Funded Preschool (ages 2.9–4)
    All children must be fully potty-trained to enroll.

Additional Care Options

For families who need extended care beyond the regular preschool hours, we offer:

  • Wrap-around CARE (available for an additional fee)
  • Non-school Vacation Camps for enrolled tuition-based and state-funded preschool students (also available for an additional fee)

These options are designed to support working families while keeping children engaged in fun and purposeful activities year-round.


Why LEAPP?

Our teachers and Preschool Manager work closely to create a play-based curriculum that encourages hands-on learning and supports each child’s individual development. Whether your child is preparing for TK or kindergarten, LEAPP provides an inspiring first step on their educational journey.

With a strong focus on early literacy, social-emotional growth, and exploration through play, we are proud to offer a program that helps children thrive in school and beyond.


Thank you for trusting us with your child’s early learning experience. We’re honored to be a part of their journey!
