We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Learning on Laurel, LLC Preschool and Child Care Center! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism. The staff here truly go above and beyond to create a nurturing and stimulating environment for children.

The facilities are outstanding, with bright, spacious classrooms and engaging play areas both indoors and outdoors. It's evident that a lot of thought and care has gone into creating an environment that promotes exploration, creativity, and learning.

The teachers are exceptional – patient, kind, and highly skilled in early childhood education. They foster a love for learning in each child and provide individualized attention to ensure every child reaches their full potential.

Communication with parents is excellent. We always feel informed and involved in our child's daily activities, progress, and milestones. The center also offers various enrichment programs and opportunities for parental involvement, which we greatly appreciate.

Above all, the genuine love and dedication the staff have for the children shine through in everything they do. Our children have flourished both academically and socially under their care. We couldn't be happier with our decision to enroll them at Learning on Laurel, LLC Preschool and Child Care Center. It truly deserves more than 5 stars!

Common questions

The answers people ask us for most often.

How do I contact a provider I found here?

In most cases the provider’s direct number is included in their listing. When it is not, we list the number of the Child Care Licensing Program — you may call that number for more information, or search for the provider online.

Will ChildcareCenter pass a message on to a provider for me?

No. ChildcareCenter only provides information, so enrolment questions, tuition questions and job enquiries need to go to the provider directly using the contact details on their listing. We cannot forward them and we cannot share contact details a provider has not published.

I run a daycare — how do I correct or remove my listing?

Use suggest an update on your listing to correct any detail, or claim the listing to manage it yourself. If you have closed or no longer provide care, contact us and we will update the listing to show that.
