Where Wonder Begins and Childhood is Cherished

At Laurel Hill School, preschool is a joyful first step into a lifetime of learning. Rooted in warmth, creativity, and discovery, our early childhood program is thoughtfully designed to nurture the whole child—socially, emotionally, intellectually, and physically.

We believe that children learn best when they feel safe, supported, and celebrated. Our preschool classrooms are filled with laughter, meaningful routines, gentle guidance, and hands-on experiences that spark curiosity and build confidence.

A Nurturing Environment for Growth

Each Laurel Hill preschool class includes a certified early childhood educator and a dedicated assistant teacher, allowing for individual attention and responsive instruction. Our small class sizes ensure that every child is known, loved, and guided at their own pace.

Children are encouraged to:

• Develop social-emotional skills through play, collaboration, and community

• Explore their environment with confidence and curiosity

• Express themselves through art, storytelling, music, and movement

• Grow independence, resilience, and kindness

•
