About Denver Leaps and Bounds: Leaps and Bounds Denver was founded in 2014 by former classroom teacher Chelsea Harris. One of the core beliefs is that all children can be successful when the whole child approach is the focus. When children struggle in school it is often due to many factors including confidence, peer interaction, motivation, and discipline. “Whole child,” development recognizes that each child is an individual with unique needs. Children will succeed when their needs are addressed and they have the necessary character tools. Our mission at Leaps and Bounds is to teach and build these character tools and skills that will develop the “whole child,” not just the learner. Leaps and Bounds offers a free data-driven instructional approach to tutoring ensuring that each child receives tutoring based on need. We seek to develop the “whole,” child and offer rigors one on one tutoring sessions, life skills courses, prep test classes, and technology courses. Custom tutoring gives each child their own individualized plan to fit their unique learning style. We believe that children learn best in a smaller setting.
