Our Approach
Our approach to learning involves a unique, individualistic approach, focusing on each individual child’s needs. Through our nurturing, love and care for each child, we value each individual as their own through our curriculum, allowing them to grow into a well-rounded child. This leads to mastery and a strong foundation.
“When we invest wisely in children and families, the next generation will pay that back through a lifetime of productivity and responsible citizenship.”

Critical 7 Approach
At The Laurel School, we understand how crucial the first 7 years of a child’s life is when it comes to brain development and growth. A child’s brain structure is built over time, through the experiences and environments in which the child interacts with. With positive interactions between the staff, child and family, as well as a beautiful, loving environment where children are valued, welcomed and challenged academically, this creates the right foundation for a child to thrive. Our goal is to create a child that is able to interact positively and succeed academically, for a thriving and productive future.
Our Critical 7 Approach focuses on:
Skill development, where children learn new skills, building on previous skills over time to create mastery
Developing a sturdy brain structure through a positive and enhanced early learning environment
Focusing closely on social and emotional competence within the environment, to develop individualistic character development
A balanced “whole child” approach which allows children to freely interact with the world around them and learn in an academic setting as well
An enriched program designed to build a strong foundation through individualized academic learning
