Laurelwood's foundation
Children are capable, curious, and full of possibility.
At Laurelwood, learning grows from play, exploration, relationships, and a close attention to the environment. We give children room to choose, investigate, make mistakes, and return to an idea as it develops.
- Play is serious learning.Our indoor and outdoor classrooms are rich, complex, and nurturing spaces for exploration.
- Children's interests matter.We support individual interests and needs through the activities and materials we offer.
- Time creates depth.Flexible schedules enable focused engagement, new discoveries, and meaningful social interactions.
- Inquiry builds thinkers.Children observe, question, test, hypothesize, and discuss their work with educators as co-researchers.
- Relationships are essential.Small classes and low teacher-to-child ratios support a true culture of acceptance and belonging.
