Dear Parents -
We are so excited that you are considering us as a partner in your child's early educational journey.
At Laurel Hill School, our mission is simple: to nurture your child’s curiosity, confidence, and character in a warm, supportive, and engaging environment.
Our small class sizes and dedicated, experienced teachers allow us to offer an individualized program that encourages growth and creativity, while providing the personal attention every child deserves. Every day is an opportunity for your child to learn, explore, and discover more about the world around them.
Our Philosophy
At LHS, we see each child as a unique and whole person with their own individual strengths, talents, and potential. We believe in fostering a positive self-image by valuing every child's contributions and encouraging them to take risks, solve problems independently, and embrace the joy of learning. Our approach is centered around creating an environment where making mistakes is part of the learning process—where children are encouraged to be brave, to try new things, and to grow from each experience.
We have high expectations for each child, and we strive to meet them where they are—challenging them at a level that motivates them to achieve their best. We believe that school should be a place where learning is fun and engaging, and we aim to nurture your child’s natural love for discovery by making each day an exciting new adventure.
Our Mission
Laurel Hill is more than a place of learning—it’s a vibrant community. With helping hands, we inspire children to embark on journeys that foster independence and individuality. We encourage them to embrace challenges, make responsible choices, and cultivate values such as kindness, friendship, and a sense of peace.
It Takes a Village
At LHS, we deeply believe that the best education happens when families, teachers, and children work together.
We see our partnership with you as an integral part of your child’s success, and we encourage open communication between parents and teachers. We cherish the collaborative community we build together, where your insights and involvement are always welcome.
We look forward to meeting you and exploring how Laurel Hill can be a part of your family’s story, nurturing your child’s growth and helping them build the foundation for a lifetime of learning.
Warmly,
MaryJo Vaden
