Lakeside Academy

This is a horrible school. The manager, Jennifer is very rude. If your child doesn’t fit into their idea of how a preschooler should behave and needs any type of differentiation they will not do it. They will write an incident report everyday and find a reason to dismiss your child.

My sons first school/​daycare in California! We moved from NY. He loves his teacher Ms. Marissa! He’s speaking a lot more ever since he started school in mid October 2015. I will be bringing my younger son here soon too. I trust this place, if otherwise I wouldn’t bring my son here.

My son attended Lakeside for their Summer Program.(my son is 7 years old) He LOVED it! They had the kids do a lot of activities, daily swimming, field trips, a playground & free play. The staff is very nice and knowledgeable. It is a bit pricey, but I had piece of mind that my son was safe and happy. you cant put a price on that! It was a wonderful experience and we will be enrolling both children next summer. :)

Oops I posted my review to the wrong school :(
I’m sure this is a great school too. So you guys get 5 stars! ;)

My son loves this place! He absolutely loves Miss Sarah!
I decided to take him to Lakeside Academy because at 2yo we became worried about his social skills (hitting, throwing himself on the floor etc) and the fact that he wasn’t talking yet. It’s been 3 months and he’s saying all kinds of words. My son is in the early stages of using the potty and is having fun doing it. HE IS HELPING ME CLEAN UP HIS TOYS! I can not say enough good things about Lakeside Academy.
I was a little upset when after sending him home for vomiting, they wouldn’t let him return the next day. (He didn’t have a fever for almost 24 hours and seemed fine the whole day after I picked him up) But in retrospect, it’s nice to know they are on top of things and I feel safe sending him to school where I know they monitor the other children’s health. It’s nice to know he’s not going to school just to get sick from the other kids.
I can not wait until my youngest is old enough to attend as I’m sure he’ll love it too!

Clean facility, and nice teachers but the management is horrible. The lady who works in the front named Jennifer is extremely rude. They have shitty policies. Sent my son home for asthma and wouldn’t let him return the next day. How unfair is that? Would not recommend under this management.

This is such a great school. It is a beautiful, clean and safe environment. The staff is loving and encouraging. My kids loved going to school, made life long friendships and learned so much! 5 stars isn’t enough to explain how much we love lakeside academy!!! A+ thank you for the fabulous experience!!!

I am so glad that I found this preschool. I thought it was normal for my child to cry everyday to go to preschool and not want to go because he was afraid. I finally decided to take him out of that school and try Lakeside Academy to see if changing his school would change his view on school because he was developing a bad taste for school and that scared me. I cannot believe the change in his attitude. The teachers were so nice to him and friendly to us. He absolutely loves this school and comes home everyday to tell me who his favorite teacher was that day or what fun he had. He asks me all the time. .. «Mommy I’m going to my new preschool, right and not my old one?» I tell him yea baby you’re going to your new one and he gets so excited. We love this school! I’m am so happy we found it! This is what preschool is supposed to be like for your child. Something new, exciting and fun to look forward to while learning at the same time. Thank you Lakeside Academy! He’s 3 and having a great time!
