A truly special place for children. Amazing teachers (especially Steph and Chianai), a warm and caring school director who listens, unassuming and thoughtful parent community, a magical place for your children to grow and learn. Cost is relatively affordable and they offer scholarships. Can’t say enough great things about this lovely school. Send your kids here if they’re great.

Both my kids attended this preschool and it is one of the best decisions our family has ever made. The Lake School is a warm and loving place filled with the most kind hearted, generous teachers. Both my children have thrived and blossomed as tiny humans under the roof of this sweet little house. It is a happy place where children get plenty of outdoor time and get to learn and explore through play to their little hearts' content. I could not dream up a better place for my kids to spend the days of their young childhood.

Not as good as I thought it would be. I had higher expectations, but unfortunately the overall experience was disappointing.

This is truly an excellent preschool. My daughter has multiple severe allergies and the teachers, especially the director, were alert wherever something was off with my daughter so she could receive medication in time. We have been at the school 3 years, my daughter is so sad to leave. The 2022-2023 crop of teachers were particularly fun, engaging, and kind.
