My son has attended laurelwood for almost a year now and I cannot say enough good things. We are moving and are so sad to leave.. after reading so many horrible reviews of other preschools and childcare centers I wanted to leave a review for Laurelwood. The director (Ms Kasey) is absolutely wonderful, the teachers are all so caring, and the kids get to spend so much time playing outdoors, as opposed to your standard “30 minute” playtime windows you find at other schools. The amount of flexibility you get with times is unlike any other preschool as well. The kids go 8-2:30 but can go earlier or can stay later as long as you sign up and they have space/are in ratio, which has been amazing. The teachers and director go above and beyond to help your kids. My son had never been to school before and would get so distressed at naptime, even occasionally throwing up, and the director would let him stay in her office until I picked him up, they helped me troubleshoot ideas to get him more comfortable, and were SO communicative and transparent about everything. I never felt in the dark and truly felt like my son was well taken care of and loved. We toured so many schools trying to find one like this but there is no other school like laurelwood and I cannot recommend it enough.
