Lakeside Academy has been such a blessing for our family. My son has been going there since he was 6months old and is now 3yrs old. He runs into class and is constantly talking about his teachers, fun activities, and friends at home. Some staff members have become more like family. It is more than just a "daycare". He gets a great education, consistent routines, along with character-building lessons and not to mention fun! We are so lucky to have Lakeside as a safe and fun place for our son to be in these young years. Our family highly recommends!

My son, who will soon turn five, has attended Lakeside Academy since he was just 10 months old. The amount of love and care every teacher shows him brings me so much happiness. Every morning, he runs straight into Ms. Jackie’s arms, and that simple moment gives us such peace of mind knowing he’s spending his day in a place he truly loves. This year, I chose not to enroll him in a traditional VPK program because I genuinely felt it would have been a step backward for him. Thanks to the outstanding curriculum at Lakeside, he’s been learning to read, write, do math, and even explore other languages for years. He consistently amazes us with how advanced he is for his age, which I believe is a direct reflection of the quality education and thoughtful structure Lakeside has developed over the years. It’s clear that Lakeside Academy is so much more than just a daycare, it’s a nurturing community where children are encouraged to explore, learn, and thrive. I wholeheartedly recommend Lakeside to any parent looking for a safe, caring, and enriching environment for their child.

There aren’t enough words to express how happy we have been with our experience with Lakeside Academy. Miss Jackie is an absolute treasure who adores ALL children who attend the school and her staff is exceptional. They do a phenomenal job of blending fun and education (and we even get homework). I am confident that when my children graduate to kindergarten they will be ahead academically from their peers because of Lakeside. Miss Jackie treats every child as if they were her own kids and you can tell every day how proud she is of the school she presides over. Facilities are clean, and it’s a great social atmosphere. We have two children currently enrolled and we wouldn’t hesitate to put any other we have in Lakeside

We have had an exceptional experience at Lakeside. Our daughter has attended the school for the past four years and has shown tremendous growth academically, emotionally, and behaviorally. Whenever we have questions or concerns, her teachers are consistently honest and thoughtful, always considering her overall well-being. We have no doubt that she will be more than prepared for kindergarten. Our family is deeply appreciative of the entire staff and our expectations of what childcare looks like have been exceeded.

Lakeside Academy & Preschool What a wonderful academy and preschool. My daughter has been going here since she was 2. She is graduating this year and heading off to kindergarten. The staff and curriculum has been amazing. My daughter is mentally, physically and emotionally ready to go to the “big” kid school. I am so blessed to have been able to have Mrs Katherine and Mrs Jackie and the rest of the staff watch over my daughter and help encourage the learning a socializing she needed to grow. I highly recommend lakeside academy and preschool not only because of the inner growth and learning but also the structure and routine that helps in the development of children.
