Hello parents!

Our S.T.E.A.M. summer program is back! 🤩

We will be doing an eight week course with a different theme each week. There will be two main activities each week with classwork, educational videos, etc..

Please feel free to share the different themed weeks with your children but please DO NOT tell your children what the main activities will be as we would like to keep them surprised and excited.

Calling all curious minds and adventurous spirits! This summer, we at Leap & Bound Academy invite you to join us on a journey of exploration, discovery, and creativity. Get ready for a thrilling ride through a variety of engaging themes and activities each week.
