At Celebree School of Laurel, we believe childhood is about more than just growing up. It’s about growing confident, curious, and capable. Every day at our day care in Laurel, MD, is filled with opportunities for your child to develop the skills they’ll use for a lifetime. From learning to take their first steps to zipping up their own jacket and showing kindness to others, we support your child’s journey every step of the way.
We know that reliable child care means more than just keeping your child safe. It means helping them build independence, encouraging their natural curiosity, and giving them the tools they need to thrive. Here’s how Celebree School of Laurel helps your child develop essential skills in a fun, safe, and nurturing environment.
- Encouraging Independence from the Start
Whether it’s a baby reaching for a toy during tummy time or a toddler taking their first bite with a spoon, every small milestone builds toward independence. At Celebree School of Laurel, we celebrate those moments. Our teachers are trained to create age-appropriate challenges that gently encourage children to try new things, while offering plenty of support along the way.
We love watching toddlers learn to put on their own shoes, and preschoolers beam with pride after cleaning up their toys all by themselves. Independence starts early, and we’re here to nurture it.
- Building Physical Skills Through Play
Every crawl, step, and hop is more than just movement. It’s part of a child’s development. Our classrooms and play areas are designed to help children build both gross and fine motor skills. Babies are given the space and encouragement to roll over and crawl. Toddlers get active through dancing, climbing, and outdoor adventures. Preschoolers practice using scissors, drawing, and more.
Even something as simple as learning to zip a jacket or pour their own water helps children feel capable and proud of their accomplishments.
- Fostering Social and Emotional Growth
Learning how to get along with others is one of the most important skills a child can learn. At Celebree School of Laurel, we help children understand empathy, kindness, and cooperation. Our teachers model respectful behavior and guide children through everyday social situations, like sharing toys or asking for a turn.
We talk about feelings, we practice using our words, and we praise acts of kindness. Whether it’s comforting a friend or saying “please” and “thank you,” children gain the confidence to build strong, respectful relationships.
- Preparing for Lifelong Learning
From circle time to story time, we make learning fun and engaging. Our age-appropriate curriculum supports every area of a child’s development—cognitive, physical, emotional, and social. We introduce early literacy and math concepts through play-based activities that feel more like fun than schoolwork.
Even our youngest learners are exposed to colors, shapes, sounds, and patterns. As children grow, they begin identifying letters and numbers, developing problem-solving skills, and learning to express their ideas. These early learning experiences set the stage for success in kindergarten and beyond.
- Creating a Safe, Nurturing Environment
Kids learn best when they feel safe, loved, and supported. That’s why everything we do at Celebree School of Laurel is grounded in care and connection. Our teachers take time to know each child’s personality, strengths, and needs. We work closely with families to support your child’s development and celebrate their milestones.
Our classrooms are welcoming and organized, our routines are predictable, and our teachers are always ready with a smile or a hug. It’s a place where your child can grow, learn, and truly shine.
