We have been here for about 4 months and we absolutely love it! And more importantly, so does our daughter. Very sweet and thoughtful staff!
J BairdApr 3, 2026As first time parents, I cannot thank Lakeside enough for their compassion & commitment to taking care of children. Everyone is very nice & you can tell they love what they do. Our daughter loves Lakeside. Check them out if you’re in need. You will not be disappointed!
Kelley KnudsenFeb 16, 2026I have had two of my three children attend Lakeside Children's Academy, and I will have to say that I have never felt such a family oriented environment. I never once was concerned about their well-being. Both of my children also had a head start in their learning curve because of the dedication of each one of the teachers there. When they came home from their day, they always had a smile on their face and had new knowledge. The teachers would even send home daily sheets to let you know in detail how their day was. The owners of this facility are humble, caring, and have standards that they uphold. There is no question why they have been open so long. I definitely recommend Lakeside to anyone looking for a safe place for your babies.
Elizabeth TaggertFeb 10, 2024All three of my children have attended (from baby through pre-K) Lakeside over the last 10 years. I am so grateful for Lakeside teachers who love and care for my kids like their own. Lakeside has prepared them so well for kindergarten and beyond!
Laura EckelkampFeb 9, 2024The Lakeside family has become our extended family. I surprisingly saw a negative review by a disgruntled former employee below and it prompted me to leave my 1st review. I have 3 boys. My older two have gone to different places for child care/preschool, including the prestigious Community School in Ladue. My youngest has been at Lakeside since he was an infant, now 5, heading to kindergarten. Lakeside is a safe, enriching, fun environment. Most importantly, it is a family owned-and run business with a LOVING, friendly culture. They communicate weekly lesson plans, regularly ask for feedback for improvement, and have consistent teacher continuing education. Personally, I am very pleased Lakeside owners/director do not tolerate any teacher who is not meeting their high expectations. It creates a culture of excellence and mutual respect. Highly recommend!
