Welcome to Leap Start Early Learning Child Care Southern River

Scientific research and clinical studies indicate that up to the age of seven, your child’s brain develops more and faster than at any other time in their life.

It is essential to take advantage of these early years of brain development and introduce your child to a wide range of experiences when they are most receptive.

What is included or excluded from the curriculum affects how your child will learn, develop, and understand the world.

The quality of your child’s earliest environments and the availability of appropriate experiences at the precise stages of development are critical to brain development and the foundation for learning in later life.

That’s why choosing the right child care is critically important and NOT a decision you should take lightly.

Our unique approach to teaching, encouraging, and playfully developing children, is scientifically proven to enhance their early development.

Following the EYLF Framework and incorporating STEAM Learning, our own method is called “Accelerated Neuro Response” or otherwise known as the ANR education program.

Every feature of our child care centre is a collaboration of ideas and thoughts from qualified staff, parents, the children, and international experts to give your child the greatest experience.

The building and facilities have been specifically designed to incorporate the STEAM approach and allow investigative and exploratory play in small and large groups and individual play.

At Leap Start Early Learning Child Care Southern River, we take the responsibility for the role we play in your child’s early development years very seriously.

Your child’s well-being and development are our HIGHEST PRIORITY.

Renowned neuroscientist, Dr. Nathan Hageman MD. PhD. endorses NEW unique education program entitled “Accelerated Neuro Response” Education Program for early childhood development

Dr Nathan Hageman is a Medical Doctor with a PhD in Neuroscience from University of California LA and degrees in Chemistry, Biology and Physics from Johns Hopkins University, California. He has led ground-breaking research in the area of Neuroscience.

“I hereby endorse the Leap Start Early Learning program called the Accelerated Neuro Response (ANR) education program to stimulate early child development in a variety of cognitive, emotional, and social areas. This program focuses on early exposure to music, art, and foreign languages, which may enhance the development of fundamental neural pathways in a child’s brain that can benefit him/her for the rest of their life.

Recent studies have shown that early learning in music, arts, and foreign language can enhance neurodevelopment of critical brain networks responsible for facilitating language development, mathematics, and reading comprehension, as well as positively impact fine motor skills, coordination, memory, focus, discipline, and self-esteem. In fact, important current research has shown that early education programs in music, arts, and foreign language can accelerate brain development and help establish and enhance early important neural networks whose activity is known to be reduced in common childhood learning and behaviour disorders, such as attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and dyslexia.

While most school programs move to cut back or eliminate music and art programs, current research suggests that early education in music, art, and language, such as the Leap Start Early Learning ANR education program, may provide a child with the foundation for a better academic future. Therefore, I highly recommend the Leap Start Early Learning ANR education program as an engaging and scientifically-based curriculum developed to enhance a child’s development and help him/her excel.”

My daughter had been attending Leap Start for over a year now. Absolutely thrilled with the care my child receives at Leap Start Southern River! The staff are incredibly warm and attentive, making drop-offs easy every morning. The facilities are always clean and safe, and my child loves the engaging activities they offer. I've seen such growth in my child's social and cognitive skills since starting here. By providing Halal food certainly makes my life easier and one less thing to worry about. Highly recommend Leap Start Southern River to any parent!

We couldn't be happier with the treatment of our child. They know exactly what calms her down when she is upset at drop off, which is a rare these days. We moved her from another centre down the road and the two are chalk and cheese, the staff turnover is very low so my daughter always has her person, it also shows they treat their staff right. They are also really flexible and accommodating if we need an extra day, even when we call at 6am the day of. I would recommend them to anyone

My son started leap start a couple months back, and the girls that work there have made the transition so easy for us both. He had never been to daycare before and they were so helpful and caring. The constantly keep me updated with what’s going on and always happy to answer any questions I may have ( being a new parent to daycare ). The facilities at leap start are all top quality and new! There is a huge variety of activities and learn experiences always set up. I feel completely at ease with my son being cared for by the ladies here while I’m working. I highly recommend leap start southern river !
