This preschool is the best! It has been a round for a long time and many parents who now have their kids attending were once preschoolers that attended the school. In the midst of a caring atmosphere, the children are learning and being well prepared for school. Also, since it is church based, children get introduced to Jesus and that God loves them. La Teresa is the director and she leads a loving and caring staff with many of them being a part of the preschool staff for many years. If I was looking for a preschool for my kids or grandkids this would be the place I would check out.

I absolutely love this place for my son! We moved to Lakeside last May when my son was 3. I toured a few other places and Lakeside Presbyterian checked all the boxes for me. The staff truly pour into the children and you can tell there’s such an amazing blend of care with education. They provide a classroom setting and an entire curriculum. The program is geared to prepare children for elementary school. There’s a spacious play area for the children and the preschool is gated providing safety and peace of mind. My son came from a faith based daycare so having him in a preschool that was faith based was also very important to me. I plan to have him here until he graduates out at 5 years old. The school has not only cared for my son, but also for me. The welcoming nature is so special and I’ve felt such a warm embrace by not only staff but by parents too. La Teresa is an incredible director who leads a loving and brilliant staff. My son is learning, growing and thriving here and I am so grateful to LCPC for supporting and navigating this important stage in his life.

The Preschool just extended their hours from & 7AM to 5:30 PM and also accepts YMCA and CDA subsidies to help a family with the cost.

I can sing their praises all day! We had my daughter enrolled in this preschool for about 2 years. We started the winter right before the pandemic and gladly came back until she graduated and headed into kindergarten. And let me tell you they prepared her for kindergarten. My daughter had to take an assessment for her entry to the school and she passed flying colors thanks to the efforts of her teachers.All the teachers were incredibly nurturing and provided so much care to the children. I also love the location of the preschool itself. It’s in the back and far enough away from the road that I felt like no random was going to walk up to the fence. And the play ground and the trees made me nostalgic of when I was a child. Call me crazy but I loved telling my daughter to dump the sand out of her shoes before going into the house, it just meant she played hard.We love this school and I recommend if you’re on the fence go check it out and enroll your child.

We absolutely love Lakeside Pres Preschool! My oldest started there when he was two, he’s now in TK nearby but now my middle child is there. The school staff is so kind and positive, they are communicative and support collaboration with the parents. The playground is big and open, it encourages open imaginative play. The kids have so much fun and always come home excited to tell us about their friends and what they did at school.

Our son has been going to this school about a year and it is amazing! The outdoor play space and all the super fun activities they do keep him wanting to go back!The teachers are super friendly and always willing to keep you updated on your child’s day. I am so happy we found this preschool for our son.

Nothing but wonderful things to say about LPCC! The staff really cares about the kiddos, AND the parents. The teachers are so wonderful, and helped to get us over the hump of potty training to potty independence when we first started. When met with typical challenges of this age group, the teachers were great about taking time aside to offer advice, and sometimes just words of encouragement that parenting is hard and we are all in this together. I felt at ease every day dropping my son off here, I will miss waving goodbye to him on the playground as I drive away. :: tears:: thanks for the beautiful preschool memories, LPCC!

Both of my kids go/ have gone here. The staff is fantastic and communication with parents is great. There is a slot of one on one time with the students. My son still loves stopping by to say hi to his former teachers

My daughter attended this program for 3 years. I highly recommend. The teachers, director, and staff are professional, the facility is excellent, the ratio between staff and kids is perfect, the lessons in the classroom are super, and the environment is warm and positive. My daughter loved her time there and so did I. This program is a hidden gem in Lakeside!!

I was lucky to have all 3 of my kids attend and graduate from Lakeside Presbyterian Children's Center. They enjoyed every minute of it. Communication was direct with each teacher and I could get photos sent from each teacher of my child doing fun things. There was a lot of outdoor time and art projects. Communication with school and director was always fast. The classrooms were always clean and full of fun designs. We miss the school and would recommend to anyone who is looking for a smaller town preschool feel.

We are so happy with Lakeside Presbyterian, our 2.5 year old has been going for about 5 months. He is always so excited to go to school and is having so much fun when we pick him up. I am really impressed with his development so far, it's fun to hear the new songs he's learning and talk about his friends and the art they are making. The teachers and Ms Shawn are so accommodating and seem to be really called to teach these young minds.
