Leaps & Bounds:
A Kindergarten Readiness Program

Leaps and Bounds is a Kindergarten Readiness Program for families with children preparing to enter Kindergarten - Ages 3 to 5.

The Leaps and Bounds Program educates and supports parents by providing a research-based program that is designed to increase parental involvement in the home and to help parents get their children ready for school. The goal of the Leaps and Bounds program is to ensure that children are entering school ready to learn and to increase the likelihood that they will become productive citizens later in life. During the Leaps and Bounds Program, parents are provided with the information necessary to help them become their child’s first teacher. The program provides parent education and support to underserved families of high need throughout the Phoenix Metropolitan area in four major ways, referred to as the program modules.
