Leap Co-op began in the fall of 2005, with twenty families enrolled in its first session.

​

Its founding moms had as their vision a co-op where children would enjoy classes that would enrich their homeschool curriculum and moms would find encouragement and fellowship. They prayerfully planned a co-op where moms would aspire to share with excellence and enthusiasm and children would learn with respect and zeal.
