Lakefront Academy and the teaching staff have been absolutely phenomenal. We are so appreciative to have been part of this community. As a former educator, I am deeply thankful for the amazing support they provided for my son over his two years at the daycare. During this time, he was able to develop strong literacy and math skills along with the socio-emotional growth that built his confidence and led to his acceptance into a Gifted Center for Kindergarten. I have tremendous respect for this team and cannot recommend them highly enough. I would be happy to speak with anyone who has questions about our experience.

Our daughter has been attending Lakefront Childrens Academy for two years, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the care and expertise of the team. The teachers (many of whom have been there for several years) made her transition to daycare smooth and welcoming, and we’ve now found a wonderful sense of community in the neighborhood. The school introduces children to numbers, letters, and a variety of engaging topics, and takes them on fun field trips (zoo, field museum, shed, etc) around the city. We strongly recommend LCA to families in the area!

Lakefront Children's Academy is an amazing early education child care academy. The school is super cute and mentally stimulating. The academic programming is well structured and helped get my children off on the right start of their long education career. The owner has been directing childcare facilities for over 40 years. Lakefront Children's Academy has been serving the east loop Chicago area since 2000. We appreciated the structured programming and the special enrichment opportunities like private piano lessons. My sons, like many other students, tested into the selective schools where they were very prepared. Small intimate class sizes. Thank you Ms Cheryl for a great early childhood experience for my boys!

Lakefront Children’s Academy is a great school. Since my son went to this school, he has been gradually taught with good habits, manners and behaviors. His language and social skill have also been significantly improved. The school has various daily schedules and activities combined with well-designed education and entertainment. My son has a good time there and is always willing to go to school. Moreover, Lakefront Children’s Academy pays special attention to COVID precaution with a series of measures. They truly care about children’ health. Special thanks to Mrs. Rogers and all the teachers for their kindness and patience for the kids! I’d like to recommend this great preschool located in the downtown new east side community to the parents who is in need!

Lakefront Children's Academy was a wonderful school for my son throughout his prekindergarten years! The owner and staff were like family to us and provided an excellent education in preparation for kindergarten, while making it fun and exciting for him to learn. We especially liked the attention they gave to each child for their individual needs and academic level. They focused on creating a creative learning experience with a very competent and caring staff. The facility is clean and well run with beautiful parks on both sides of their center that the children play at. We had only the best experience and I would highly recommend it without hesitation.
