ABOUT
LEEP is built on best practices rooted in a developmental, individualized relationship based approach, instilling a sense of self confidence, promoting a love of learning, while preparing our students for their future. Our programs are designed to support social emotional development in order to build the foundation for social and academic success.
LEEP began as a Developmental Therapeutic Clinic and Preschool program 14 years ago. Lorell Marin started the program when she saw a gap in services for children after Early Intervention services ended. Lorell decided to create something for children over the age of three. Her vision has expanded and grown every year. LEEP has continued to follow that model of building our programming based on the needs of the community we serve.
