Little Leaps Academy

Programs & Curriculum

A structured, nurturing academic environment built around the way your child learns best.

Our Learning Philosophy

Every child at Little Leaps Academy receives individualized instruction within a small, predictable classroom environment. We believe that when children feel safe and understood, learning follows naturally.

With just 8 students per classroom and a 4:1 student-to-teacher ratio, our teachers can truly know each child — their strengths, their challenges, and what makes them light up.

Supporting the Whole Child

Little Leaps Academy is an academic program. While our program is supported by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, LLA does not provide individual ABA support, speech therapy, or occupational therapy. What we do is build strong partnerships with the outside providers already supporting your child. Our shortened school day (8 AM–1 PM) is intentionally designed so students can access those services in the afternoon without missing a single minute of classroom time. We stay in close communication with your child's therapy team to make sure our academic approach reinforces, and does not conflict with, the work happening outside school.

Speech Therapy

We collaborate with your SLP

Occupational Therapy

We work alongside your OT team

ABA Therapy

We coordinate with your BCBA

Other Services

We support any outside care your child receives
