Laurelwood Community Preschool

Laurelwood Community Preschool provides a nurturing, inquiry-based environment for children aged two to five in Waxhaw, NC. Utilizing the Reggio Emilia approach, the school focuses on the innate competence of every child, offering specialized support through programs designed for special education, developmental support, and Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). The curriculum emphasizes cognitive growth and literacy through collaborative, interest-led projects that foster self-confidence and kindergarten readiness.

The school is uniquely structured to provide high levels of individualized attention, maintaining low student-teacher ratios of 1:6 for toddlers and 1:8 for older children. This small-group setting is ideal for children requiring more frequent interaction, sensory regulation, or specialized developmental support. The learning environment is further enriched by a one-acre wooded lot, where classrooms in a renovated house allow children to engage with nature through outdoor play and sensory exploration.

Laurelwood offers a five-day, year-round program with extended care options available to meet the needs of working families. Highly qualified educators work closely with families as partners in each child's educational journey, integrating therapeutic services and special needs support into the daily routine.
