Setting, Staff, & Security

The Setting

The Laurel Hill community comes together to work and play on a pristine campus. Our over ten-acre campus provides a natural setting of woods, fields and orchards, all accented by lush floral landscapes. Complete athletic facilities blend with the landscape, and our student garden and farm add an exciting rustic feature to the grounds. Classrooms are modern, colorful, bright and spacious. The building facilities include a reference and leisure reading library, computer lab, science lab, gymnasium, and music and foreign language rooms.

The Laurel Hill grounds boast an outdoor theatre, a preschool playground, adventure playground, full-size playing fields, basketball and tennis courts, a hockey rink, a batting cage, and more.

The Staff

Professional, warm, and caring, our faculty is sensitive to the unique qualities and needs of each child. Teachers and educational assistants possess the vital capacity to guide boys and girls with wisdom, and to regard all children with respect.
Our faculty is engaged in extensive ongoing professional development workshops. Prior to the beginning of each school year, The Laurel Hill School provides each staff member with opportunities to investigate and experience a multitude of new strategies, methods, and educational programs to be utilized in their classrooms. Class size is small, and the educational setting is based on genuine warmth, affection, and high incentive activities.

Security

As a full service educational program that has served very young children for over 40 years, Laurel Hill is well aware of our families’ concern for their children’s security. Special security measures and visitation policies are in place for our littlest students.

Friendship and Helping Hands

We learn about the needs and feelings of others and how to resolve conflicts in a better way for ourselves and our friends. Caring may mean helping too, and we explore the ways it may be done.
