Leaps and Bounds is a locally-operated childcare provider in Fontana's Empire Center area, serving infants through school-age children with hours extending from 5:30 am to 7:00 pm—among the earliest and latest in the region. Under the leadership of director Ms. Cindall Green, who brings nearly two decades of childcare experience including a decade as an administrator, the center uses a developmental philosophy emphasizing age-appropriate activities with multi-sensory learning methods, including baby signing for infants. Staff are certified in child development, and parents report meaningful developmental gains—with children acquiring language, counting, and social skills within months of enrollment. A 4.5-star Yelp rating across 25 reviews reflects consistently positive parent sentiment regarding staff communication and hands-on engagement. The center's commercial location near Slover Avenue and limited public curriculum documentation are items to verify during in-person visits.
