Testimonials from Current and Past Families

“As a retired elementary teacher I know how important it is to have a good foundation, readiness, and enthusiasm to learn. Lakeside teachers and staff instill these qualities in children.“
Grandma Tina

testimonial1“You employ a curriculum that is educational while providing a fun way for the children to learn. From an early age, our son demonstrated advanced verbal and social skills and we believe that the Lakeside faculty played a key part in his development. Our son has been given the tools that he needs to move into his school age years.“

“The courteous and caring staff is always at the door to greet us every morning. What a wonderful way to begin the day!! All the teachers have continuous smiles on their faces and beam with patience. The administration has been extremely flexible with my ever changing work schedule and for that, my husband and I are eternally grateful.”
Brian and Jackie

“Our daughter is now three years old and has been in Room D for three months. We are happy that the atmosphere in this room is that of a pre-school. The children work on art, math, science, and reading every day, among other things.”
Dan and Laura

“Lakeside provides a safe, loving and enriching environment for our daughters. The development program at Lakeside helps to build social, motor, and educational skills, giving our children the tools they will need as they move into their school age years. The center is focused around family and helps instill values of kindness and generosity in our children. We love the intergenerational program, and our oldest daughter loves visiting her “Grandfriends.”

“Our daughter attended classes in the five year old room and now that she is in kindergarten she has excelled in her reading and socialization skills. She is able to participate in the accelerated reading tests thanks to what she learned at Lakeside. Also, even at age two our son has built friendships with the children that he has gone to school with since day one as well as with some of the parent’s of those children. We couldn’t have asked for a better situation for both of our kids as it has helped them tremendously as they got exactly what they needed to succeed.”
Renee

“I highly recommend Lakeside Children's Academy to any families that are pursuing child care options for their child/ren. The Lakeside team is an integral part of our life, and have added so much to the learning and development of our children.”
Denny and Allison

“I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for all you have done for our daughter. Since starting at your facility in July 2007, each day has been an unconditionally nurturing (and of course, loving) experience for her, and the developmental strides she has taken have amazed our family time and time again. Additionally, the impeccable facility and positive, caring, energetic (oh, and experienced!) staff never ceases to impress. They have consistently gone above and beyond the call of duty for our daughter as well as our family.”
Tim and Rachel

testimonial2“Each class has wonderful leaders who know how to deal with the ages very well. The managers are caring and very easy to come to with questions. Our son, started school and they are wonderfully accommodating for our schedules. They take him to school and pick him up when we cannot be there to get him ourselves! The school aged room is wonderful about keeping the children busy during the breaks and in summer by providing trips to parks, pools and other fun places!”
Jason and Chari


“As first time parents, the decision to enroll our child in daycare didn’t come easy. It was painful to imagine anyone else caring for our baby so soon after he was born. We visited several centers prior to Lakeside and left feeling completely discouraged each time. But everything changed once we visited Lakeside based on a recommendation. We knew instantly that is was the right place for us. Everyone seemed so genuine, caring and easy to talk to. To our surprise, we actually looked forward to his first day. We are sincerely grateful for your hard work and dedication. The peace of mind that you give us each day is truly invaluable. We are very proud to call Lakeside our son’s home away from home.”
Jason and Melissa

“As first time parents, bringing our little princess to a child care facility was nerve racking at the least. We toured many other child care centers in the West County area and NOTHING compared to Lakeside. In no time at all, we felt nothing less than honored to have your staff care for our daughter. Lakeside has not only taught our daughter to be more social and confident, you have given her the knowledge to be more than ready to go to Kindergarten next year. Lakeside’s curriculm, mixed with group and hands on activities, TONS of artwork, and fieldtrips to see their Grandfriends is first class and can not be beat. As most of the staff knows, we are expecting another little girl this April and are so excited to have our daughter join the Lakeside family as well. I would recommend your center to anyone over any other child care provider out there!”
Adam and Amanda

“Our son has enjoyed his time at Lakeside and has learned a lot. He always surprises us when he comes each day with new words in his vocabulary, a new object he recognizes, or any number of different things we know he’s learned from his teachers at Lakeside.”
Michael and Autumn

“From the moment we arrived, your teachers were caring and loving toward our son. The level of engagement and commitment from your staff was astounding. It was like having an extended family help us raise our son.”
Tom and Kim
