We organize leisure activities and weekend trips to provide opportunities for families to experience rafting, surfing, camping, sporting events, and other fun activities with ease. At Leaps…n…Boundz, we design our programs to help build a community within our “family.”
The Leaps…n…Boundz staff comes from a variety of backgrounds and experiences including biology, child development, occupational therapy, recreation therapy, kinesiology, and education to name a few. Each staff member takes his/her background to design a well-rounded curriculum to enhance your child’s experience and create a safe space for exploration. Through hard work and dedication, Leaps…n…Boundz has forged great bonds with families, providing a positive learning environment that helps your child stretch “leaps and bounds.” We are conveniently located in several locations in and around the Los Angeles area.
