Old Firehouse School Celebrates 30 Years with the Lafayette Chamber!
"At Old Firehouse School we believe that the quality of one’s childhood predicts much about the quality of one’s future. Founded in 1996 by Dr. Dorothy Stewart and her husband, Bob Buhl, Old Firehouse School has been proud to serve local families for 30 years and to be a dedicated member of the Lafayette Chamber of Commerce. Our nurturing, attachment-based approach and Reggio Emilia-inspired curriculum recognize children as inherent scientists, encouraging them to explore the world with curiosity, follow their passions, and develop a lifelong connection to the natural world. Old Firehouse School is honored to be part of the Lafayette community, and we look forward to many more years of learning, growing, and building strong foundations for young children."
