Lakeside Presbyterian Center for Children

At Lakeside, our school culture is safe, nurturing, and fun in every way for our children, families, and teachers. There is a hum of learning, an openness to individual differences, and mutual respect between children, teachers, and their corresponding peers in all facets throughout the center. We engage in play and exploration and value individual interests. We create an engaging and caring atmosphere that addresses the social, emotional, physical, cognitive, and spiritual needs of the whole child. We are lifelong learners and are motivated to apply the latest developmentally appropriate practices. We encourage our families to partner with us in this learning.
