ABOUT LEAP AHEAD LEARNING
As an early years, Prep and Pre-Prep teacher for nearly 30 years, I saw firsthand the gaps that children have when starting school. The primary school education system is faster paced with more demands placed upon its learners than ever before. It is often quite difficult for a child in Prep or the early years of schooling to keep up. Some children can also find it hard to know exactly what to do to make friends and to work with peers. I knew there had to be something to bridge this widening gap and to help some students socially. That was when I developed the “Keryn Johnson Learning Foundations” and Leap Ahead Learning was born. I saw it as a way of helping children bridge that gap and prepare them for school, allowing them to make a ‘leap ahead’ in their learning and social skills. Leap Ahead Learning sets your child up to succeed, giving them a head start and a boost in their confidence. It is a gift, not just for school, but a gift for life!”
