What Makes THE LAB Different
Public school transportation drops off and picks up at our door.
Ask Talbot County Public Schools to set your child’s bus stop to 26 Creamery Lane, Easton. Your child rides the TCPS bus straight to THE LAB.
We run our own rides to local private schools.
Van pickup and drop-off from Saints Peter & Paul, Polaris Village Academy, Chesapeake Christian, and The Country School. One less thing on your calendar.
Fog delay. Late open. Early out. Snow day.
We stay open so you don’t have to scramble. When TCPS calls a delay, early dismissal, or closure, THE LAB is still ready for your kid.
