“The attention and environment you provide, shapes your child’s brain for life.”
— Erik Erikson
Our Kindergarten (JK & SK) program offers a balanced approach that includes active play, hands-on exploration and teacher led learning activities. We continue to build social skills, life skills and independence, as we set our students up for early elementary success through our enriched language and math programs. We know what kindergarteners are capable of, and we make learning fun! Children completing senior kindergarten at Laurel are routinely reading above the grade one level, with math skills to match. We not only provide a fun yet academically challenging environment, we also build a strong foundation for your child that will guarantee success in your child’s future.
