Lakeside Academy

We absolutely LOVE this school. My two daughters attended Lakeside Academy for a total of 5 years combined and we had the best experience. The teachers, activities, education and Christian emphasis was outstanding. I highly recommend Lakeside, it was such a blessing for our family and my girls got so much out of the program. Thank you Lakeside!!

My son has attended Lakeside academy since he was 2 years old. He enjoys the staff and the learning environment along with his many "Friends" he has made and kept over the last 3 1/2 years. I would recommend this school again and again.

My child was enrolled for one day and two hours, before they kicked her to the curb. She is a three-year-old little girl, who is an only child, have never had much social interaction, and she needed a place that would accept her and show her the way in the world. Before I even enrolled her, I notified the director, Jennifer, of her lack of interaction and social skills. I was very worried that they would not work with her or be able to handle this... although in my opinion, she is just a normal three-year-old. Jennifer assured me again and again that she would do absolutely fine, and that their job was to work with the children, and they understood that there would be a couple week adjustment period. Day one, she has a little bit of an issue minding the teacher, rich is to be expected seeing how it's her first day. I ended up having to pick her up for naptime, because naps are not what she's used to, and she wouldn't lay down. I did not mind doing that, and neither did the school. When I brought her back for the afternoon portion of the day, I called a couple hours later to make sure she was being good. Jennifer, told me she was being wonderful! She was minding the teacher, getting along with other children, and a joy to be around… She had made it full 360 from the morning. So, imagine my surprise when I received a phone call this morning, after only two hours of my child being there, telling me not only that I need to pick up my child, but they would no longer accept her as a student. I was told that she was not the right fit for their school. Apparently, they fed my three-year-old a cupcake as a morning snack, and then they were shocked when she was hyper and wanted to play outside for longer than she was allowed. They told me they were scared she was going to hurt herself (because she wanted to play and not go inside?) and they didn't want her there any longer. Mind you, if your child is a biter, they have three strikes before they are out… Heaven for bid they try to Play and Be children… they are out right away!!! Finally, when I did pick her up, Jennifer, again the director, flat out told me she needed to have behavioral therapy, or be put into a daycare… When I asked her if she would put her own children into a daycare, she huffed and said no… But that would be exact suggestion that she had given me… Besides of course behavioral classes. I finally got a call from the owner, Lisa, who told me all the same things Jennifer did… And then went even further and told me to call my pediatrician and have her examined because there something wrong her. To say I am livid, would be an absolute understatement. I do not recommend this disgusting place… The staff is rude, inconsiderate, impatient, and have aparent fake PhDs recommending medical aid for mental health issues. They didn't even give my daughter a chance. They gave her a total of eight hours.

My son was enrolled here for 2 weeks before they decided to discontinue care, because I didn't bring my I.D 1 time! The same lady is always at the front and they changed it one day, the lady that happen to be at the front desk (someone I had never seen before) gave me attitude and wasn't willing to help me at all. I ended up bypassing her and using my code to get my child and even brought another teacher up to confirm that I was his parent. I got a call later that day from a lady named Jennifer (the rudest phone call ever) and she ended up hanging up on me before I could even ask about my refund, which took 2 weeks to get and I paid CASH! Needless to say I understand and appreciate the safety measures BUT I do not appreciate the attitude received from Jennifer or the rando that was at the front desk that day. Mind you I paid top dollar to enroll him here and the weekly tuition is steep as well. The school is clean but the whole thing seems really shady I was never even able to speak to the director myself, apparently she only comes up once a week... Just be careful

My niece attends at lakeside academy! She lo as it! I LOVE it. The teachers are fantastic, Caring, loving ,warm and very on top of things. They are willing to help in any way they can. They go over and beyond their duty.
