Get to Know Us
You want the very best for your child. And that is our commitment to you!
That is why Lakeside Academy distinguishes itself by creating a safe, caring and nurturing environment where children are happy and continually preparing for a bright future.
Our unique approach to learning blends the two leading philosophies of teaching children. One of those philosophies promotes a child-initiated approach, in which children are free to explore their individual interests with teacher support. The other places a greater emphasis on teacher direction, where an established curriculum leads children along a consistent path of learning.

Testimonials
We have LOVED Lakeside. First of all, the staff is phenomenal: my daughter was always greeted with a hug, smile and warmly welcomed into class by her classmates. I always left knowing my child was in wonderful hands throughout the day.
Stacey Marks
Our son and daughter joined Lakeside Academy last year and we couldn't be happier with our experience. My son struggled holding a pencil when he first joined and is now writing his name, enjoying math and is now teaching US Spanish, it's just incredible.
Maxine Kennaugh
My daughter attended Lakeside Academy & preschool from the time she was 2 until starting kindergarten. Miss Katherine, who started the school, is unlike any director /educator you’ll ever meet! I interviewed several Schools and none can compare.
Melissa Conner
Our daughter has been attending Lakeside for a year now and we couldn’t be happier! Ms. Kathrine runs a great school! My daughter is challenged academically, learning and growing every day, and still able to be the crazy 2 year old that she is! She absolutely LOVES her teachers and her school!
Alicia Fronczak
I can not say enough about this Preschool and the staff. The teachers are really a great group of people that go above and beyond to make sure your child has the best experience possible while in their care.
