Learning Through Play

Informed by research and developed by preschool educators and child development experts, LeafSpring School’s proprietary curriculum — PLAYWORKS© — focuses on all aspects of a child’s growth: cognitive, social, emotional, and physical.

Within small group settings, educators nurture each child’s individual development while providing appropriate challenges through play-based learning. By meeting children at their own pace, we encourage exploration of reading, writing, art, math, science, and leadership.

Fully Licensed and Nationally Accredited

LeafSpring School is a fully licensed and nationally accredited program. Each school is required to be accredited, though actual accreditations vary by location. Check your school’s website to see which accreditations they have earned.

Benefits of NAEYC Accredited Programs

NAEYC accredited programs consistently demonstrate higher quality for children, as indicated by:

A staff with more formal education and specialized early childhood training
A more developmentally appropriate environment with age-appropriate and child-initiated activities
A child-centered physical environment to promote learning
Teachers who interact more sensitively and less harshly with children
Strong staff communication
Better health and safety provisions, including nutrition and food services
Better relations with parents

Get Well Place

We know life doesn’t stop when your child has a cold. The Get Well Place is a professionally staffed, architecturally separate care center inside each LeafSpring School — where mildly ill children receive expert, loving attention from licensed nurses so you can stay at work with peace of mind.

From colds and flu to ongoing conditions like diabetes, asthma, and food allergies, our nursing team provides the same standard of care your child deserves — every single day.
