The Holway Early Childhood Centers are located on the campus of Lasell University. We have two locations on campus. Rockwell is a traditional preschool with extended day flexibility for children 2 years 9 months through 6 years of age. The operating hours from Rockwell are 8am-6pm Monday- Friday.  The Barn is a full day program for children starting at 8 weeks of age through 6 years of age. The operating hours for the Barn are 8am-6pm Monday- Friday. Both programs are laboratory schools, which means that there is active participation by Lasell University undergraduate students, graduate students and faculty.  The schools share the same policies/procedures and are overseen by the Executive Director and two Associate Directors (one at each location).
