What Parents Are Saying
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“We looked everywhere for the right school for our eldest son and first tried Laurel for one summer camp. We quickly found our boy, who did not previously enjoy school, coming home excited about learning. The small class sizes and the genuine care and attention provided at Laurel were instrumental in his development. Laurel helped him during a difficult time to develop the confidence, love of learning, and skills he needs to not only do well in school, but to excel far beyond his years.
There are many schools with impressive facilities, curriculum and methodologies, but what set Laurel apart was how sincerely they cared about our child and how committed they were to helping him grow and succeed. We’re beyond satisfied with our experience at Laurel. We’re grateful.”

“My son is currently enrolled in SK at The Laurel School and we couldn’t be happier. He wakes up eager to get to school in the morning and he comes out with a big smile each afternoon. The staff are AMAZING and the school has a warm, happy energy. We first tried our local public school for JK and switched mid way through last year to TLS. Best decision we ever made. My son has flourished here.”

“The best private school in North York. My children have been at Laurel for four years and we couldn't have picked a better school for them. it gives me peace of mind to go to work knowing my children are not only learning and thriving but also that they are cared for and loved. The staff are all warm, welcoming, and truly care about the well-being of the children. My children adore Mrs. Kindos, Ms. Nikki, Ms. Alex, and all of their teachers at school. It's a beautiful, bright, and newly renovated space filled with many opportunities for children to learn and excel academically and socially.”

“We have been with Laurel School ever since they did those wonderful renovations. Every little detail was well thought out and both the owners and staff take great pride in running it. It’s a small family run school which I especially like because I feel very safe leaving my son there. I know the friendly and loving staff will take care of him throughout the day. Laurel School has a fantastic healthy lunch option with two snacks each day which he has no issues eating. Laurel School sends updates on what your child is doing each day along with photos so you can see what is going on. Now during covid, Laurel School has been taking all the necessary precautions when students attend the school. The class sizes are small which is a bonus during these times.”

“This is a great school. I enrolled my twin boys here for one semester before moving to Calgary and I was amazed at how fast they progressed. From the teaching to the physical activity and healthy lunch programs you can't beat this school. If I am ever back in Toronto I would enroll my boys again, they just loved it there.”

“Great school, super friendly and kind staff. Location is super clean and nicely renovated. The outdoor playground is huge and properly fenced. My daughters loved the school and all the teachers. We had to leave due to relocation, however we will go back if we return to North York.
Bonus: They had DAILY zoom classes during the peak of the COVID pandemic which was great and help kids stay connected while staying home.”

The entire staff has always been helpful, joyful, and welcoming, which absolutely makes our family feel at ease and confident. Our son has learned many new things since attending the school, and he continues to progress in all aspects, especially his reading.

“I’ve seen and visited a number of schools and daycares and without a doubt the Laurel School has a very special place in our family’s heart. If you’re looking for a great place to send your children, this school is a gem and consistently impressed us.
The Laurel School sets itself apart with its atmosphere of warmth and care. The teachers, principal and all staff are very kind and attentive towards the students and truly make them feel like they are part of a community. They go out of their way to ensure rich and meaningful experiences for their students with structured daily learning, exciting field trips and visitors. My daughter thrived during her time there and developed both good social skills and good academic skills.
I have the utmost trust in the Laurel School and look forward to sending my younger child there when he is old enough.”

“My sons attended the Laurel School's summer camp program in July/August 2020 and had the best experience! The staff were very caring and welcoming and the boys felt comfortable from day 1. They came home everyday excited about what they had learned and looking forward to going back the next day. They were very sad to leave at the end of the summer but will definitely be back next year. I highly recommend The Laurel School - students have individualized attention, the staff are excellent and they make learning fun!”
