The Positive Bright Start Child Care Center is a fully inclusive classroom, grounding children with their like-aged peers regardless of their developmental level. This environment gives children who have social-emotional or developmental needs the opportunity to learn by watching and imitating their peers, as well as teaching children who are typically developing the important life lessons of diversity, compassion and acceptance.

We are a state licensed full service childcare center for children ages 1-12. We offer full day care for toddlers and twos and both full and part time preschool. We have after-kindergarten and after-school programs including transport from many north Lawrence schools as well as summer camps for school agers. On weekends we host birthday parties and Parents' Night Out care for 3-10 yr olds.

Lawrence Montessori School (LMS) offers children a unique learning experience in the most formative years of life. We provide each child with a "prepared environment" to lay the foundation for academic excellence, social grace, inner discipline and environmental awareness. The Montessori Method of education helps develop children who are courteous, self-confident, and have a positive attitude toward school, adults, and peers. We pride ourselves in providing an unparalleled educational environment which will maximize the learning potential of each child. Extensive one-on-one interaction in an authentic Montessori classroom encourages the development of the "whole child."
