About Us
A Leap In Learning was created to offer children and their families a special place where little ones can grow and learn in a happy and healthy environment and parents can feel comfortable and secure in their choice of an Early Childhood Development Center.
Conveniently located in the heart of the Village of Hamburg, A Leap In Learning is locally owned and operated. We have purposely limited our center to one location in order to foster a more personal, intimate setting for children and their families. A Leap In Learning offers what today's parents want.

- Careful watch at all times by staff members for misplaced toys
and other items that may present potential risks - Healthy breakfast, lunch and two snacks daily with all menus
