    My daughter goes to Leapstart since the last one year. She really enjoys the different activities especially dance, arts and learning Hindi language. The pickup facility from school is a big … More plus for me as a working parent. I also love that they offer nutritious hot lunch. Miss Chitra is very knowledgeable about Cupertino schools that helped us greatly when my daughter had to temporarily go to an overflow school.
