The Laurel School

The Laurel School provides a loving, supportive environment promoting children with the opportunity, freedom, and trust to explore and learn. With consistent guidelines, structure and positive reinforcement children learn in an atmosphere of mutual respect. In this atmosphere, children develop confidence and a strong self-esteem and adults nurture and encourage children to become independent thinkers. Faculty members have high expectations for each individual child and design a program using a well-rounded curriculum to meet each child's needs. The Laurel School curriculum follows the Massachusetts Frameworks as a foundation but integrates fine arts, music, dance, environmental studies, physical education and Spanish with the basics. By utilizing an eclectic approach, our faculty members are able to teach to the many different learning styles and to enable the children to move at their individual pace. With confidence, children enjoy sucesses, take risks, and love to learn.
