A warm place to learn, play & belong
Choosing the right preschool is a big decision. At Leading Learners Academy, we want your child to feel safe, known, encouraged and excited to come through our doors each morning. Our Margate preschool serves families from Margate, North Lauderdale and nearby Broward County communities with caring teachers, hands-on learning and plenty of room to grow.
Every child learns a little differently
Whether your child is just beginning preschool, getting ready for kindergarten through VPK, or needs a welcoming place after school, our programs blend purposeful learning with the play, relationships and everyday moments that make childhood special.
VPK is a big year. We help children build early reading, math, independence and classroom skills while still giving them plenty of time to play, create, explore and simply be four.
Ask about VPK availability
Stories, songs, counting, conversation and hands-on activities help children build early reading and math skills in ways that feel natural, playful and fun.
Explore preschool care
Growing up means learning how to share ideas, handle big feelings, make friends and become more independent. We practice those skills every day in a caring classroom community.
See our approach
We love a good “why?” Children build, test, observe and experiment so their everyday questions can turn into exciting moments of discovery.
See learning in action
After a long school day, children need a place where they can settle in, recharge, connect with friends and stay engaged in a safe, welcoming environment.
Ask about after-school care
Summer should feel like summer. Our camp gives children time to move, create, explore, laugh with friends and make the kind of memories they talk about on the ride home.

· Safety & Community Helpers
Our learners had the chance to meet local firefighters, explore a real fire truck and learn about fire safety from the people who help keep our community safe. It was the kind of day that turns a classroom lesson into a memory.
The things we’d want to know as parents, too
We know choosing a preschool means trusting someone else with a very important part of your world. You want to know your child will be safe, cared for, listened to and encouraged to grow. We want that too. Our goal is for every child who walks through our doors to feel like they belong here.
Come meet usWe take safety seriously, with required background screening, fingerprinting, CPR/First Aid expectations and clear school procedures designed to help children feel secure and families feel confident.
You should not have to wonder how your child’s day is going. Daily and weekly Procare updates help you stay connected to classroom routines, learning and the moments in between.
We build early literacy, math, independence and social-emotional skills through Creative Curriculum and hands-on learning so children can head to kindergarten feeling capable and ready.
You know your child best. We value the routines, relationships and little details families share with us because strong partnerships help children feel understood and supported.
This is what learning looks like here
Sometimes learning looks like blocks on the floor, paint on little hands, a science experiment that gets messy, or a child proudly saying, “I did it!”
