I can’t find enough words to express how fantastic I think this establishment is! You took in our little 2 year old turning 3 years old grandson and made him an even better version of himself! The staff is wonderful and know what they are doing!

Tonya

I was struggling to find help and so glad I found Positive Leaps! If your child has problems with separation anxiety or temper tantrums or has been kicked out of a daycare this place can help you! I went from worrying every day about daycare calling and saying something bad about my grandson to hearing weekly how well he was doing!

Mary

This program has completely turned my son around and now he is graduating TODAY!!! Not 1 time in the whole time my son has been there have I been left in the dark or unsure of his day or progress. They keep detailed record of his behavior daily so I know if at any time I want to know all I have to do is ask.

Ray

My daughter just started at Positive Leaps. I’m so glad she now has a therapist to help her work through her trauma and gain coping skills to help her in her daily life and future. I highly recommend coming here if your child is struggling in any way.

Sara

O my gosh it is transformative. My son was out of control – I was extremely stressed out. So this school year I was hesitant to enroll him again but I needed to work so i enrolled him in a new school and they informed me of this program. When I say my son is almost a different little guy. He listens he accepts he doesn’t run off he is kind and respectful I’m so proud of him and thankful for the program.

Sharice
