Laurel’s Prekindergarten gives children the tools and the license to become independent thinkers and risk-takers – essential to developing self-confidence, decision-making and problem-solving skills and self-reliance.
We build on what children know and strengthen attitudes about themselves as capable, active learners and valuable group members. Children are encouraged to develop meaningful connections with the world around them, which inspires them to care for their community and themselves.
Prekindergarteners happily choose from an array of developmentally appropriate activities and materials that promote cognitive, creative, physical, emotional and social growth. Students are often involved in the planning process and make their own choices, with teachers as guides and facilitators. The curriculum encourages cognitive language and math skills in a fun and integrated setting, ensuring that each child is prepared for Kindergarten the following year.
