What most parents want is pretty simple. They want somewhere clean and safe. They want teachers who genuinely like kids. They want their child to come home happy and excited to go back the next morning. That is not asking too much. That is just what good childcare looks like.
At Leaps and Bounds, we have been building that kind of place at our locations in La Puente, Fontana, and Escondido. Here is what parents in each of those communities can expect when they choose us.
Leaving your baby or toddler in someone else’s care is one of the hardest things a parent does. You want to know they are being held when they need it, fed on their schedule, and looked after by someone who actually notices the little things. That kind of care is not automatic. It takes the right people and the right environment.
Our infant daycare in La Puente at 13921 E Amar Road is designed around exactly that. Each baby is paired with a primary caregiver who gets to know their routine, their cues, and their personality. Parents receive daily updates throughout the day so you are never left wondering how things went. Our toddler classrooms build on that foundation with short activities, consistent routines, and plenty of language-rich play that helps little ones grow in ways that feel completely natural to them.

We also offer FREE registration and have scholarship options for families who need financial support. Good childcare in La Puente should be within reach for every family, and we work to make that possible.
If you are in the La Puente area and starting your search for daycare, we would love to show you around. A quick visit tells you more than any webpage can.
A lot of parents in Fontana come to us because they want their child to be ready for kindergarten but they do not want preschool to feel like a job. That is a fair concern. Kids at this age should be learning through play, exploration, and real conversation with caring adults. Not sitting at desks filling out worksheets.
Our teachers in Fontana use monthly themes to keep things interesting. One month it might be space exploration. Another month it could be ocean animals or camping adventures. But threaded through all of that fun are the real skills kids need: letter recognition, phonics, fine motor development, number concepts, and learning how to listen and communicate with others.
Our preschool program in Fontana groups children by age and maturity so the pace works for each child individually. Some kids are ready to zoom ahead. Others need a little more time on certain skills. Both are completely fine, and our teachers know how to meet children where they are without making anyone feel behind.
If your child has never been in a structured setting before, that is okay too. Most of our teachers have seen every kind of adjustment, and they are patient, warm, and experienced at helping kids settle in and find their confidence.
Parents in Escondido often tell us the same thing: they spent months looking for somewhere they could trust, and they wished they had found us sooner. That is not something we take lightly. Building that kind of trust takes consistent teachers, honest communication, and a program that actually delivers what it promises.
Our Escondido preschool at 270 W Crest St serves children from toddler age through kindergarten readiness. The daily schedule balances structured learning with creative play, outdoor time, music and movement, and the kind of back-and-forth conversation with teachers that builds vocabulary faster than almost anything else at this age.
For families with school-age children, our after school care in Escondido program is a game changer. Kids get structured homework time with real support available when they are stuck, followed by activities they actually enjoy: cooking projects, outdoor play, field trips, and creative enrichment. By the time you pick them up, the homework is done and they have had a genuinely good afternoon.
We cover the hours before and after school, and our summer program keeps kids engaged and cared for when school is out. For working parents in Escondido, that kind of consistent, quality coverage is hard to find and easy to appreciate.
One thing that stays consistent across La Puente, Fontana, and Escondido is the approach. Our teachers are not just babysitters filling a shift. They are trained early childhood educators who track each child’s development, communicate with parents daily, and build real relationships with the kids in their care. Many of our staff have been with us for a long time because they love what they do and the school takes care of them. That stability matters for your child.
We use smart technology to keep parents connected during the day. No more wondering and waiting until pickup. You get real updates, real stories, and real peace of mind.
And if you are worried about cost, ask us about our scholarship options and funding assistance. We do not want finances to be the reason a family cannot access quality care.

No website tells the whole story. The best way to know if Leaps and Bounds is the right fit for your child is to walk through the door, meet the teachers, and see what a regular day actually looks like. We welcome that. We want you to ask questions, poke around, and take your time.
