Both our daughters are currently attending LPA. We are comfortable knowing they get the best care. They amaze us every day with new improvements and knowledge. The staff is awesome.

This is a wonderful preschool. The teachers and curriculum are top notch. They are extremely responsive to questions and are great about posting food/naps/activities to the app along with lots of pictures, which I love getting. There is a very nice playground next door where they play everyday, which is so convenient. The best thing is my son cant wait to go to school every morning and cant stop talking about what he did at school afterwards. Recommend 100%!

Our daughter has attended LPA for slightly over a year. The school is truly top-quality and provides the children a healthy and safe space to learn from both teachers and other children. The small size allows the school to be more flexible than other preschools/daycares we have encountered which was key in our choosing it as the school for our daughter: they have helped her to reach milestones by working with her at her pace. She has not been held back or felt inadequate at any time. At the same time, interaction with children over several years of age has expanded her social skills and encouraged her to grow. The school also provides enrichment opportunities, such as language and dance lessons, that are broadening her experience. We highly recommend LPA.

My daughter has attended the school for nearly a year and we cant say enough good things about LPA. The teachers are wonderful and care so much about the children. This is not a daycare, this is a true pre-school with academic instruction and organized learning (in addition to play!). There is a low student-teacher ratio so the class doesnt feel chaotic. The school is located next to a park, which the children go to 2x a day, so they get plenty of fresh air and exercise. The food is catered and is healthy and varied. They have also handled COVID really well, there was one case earlier this year, they promptly closed the school for cleaning/quarantine and immediately informed parents, and no one else tested positive. Finally, I like that they let the kids be kids with little birthday parties, special treats and holiday festivities. We have been very happy at LPA and would absolutely recommend it to any other parents.

Our daughter is moving on to kindergarten but she loved her time at LPA these last couple years. The teachers were great and they consistently did a wide range of interesting activities in art, languages, and dance! This was a particularly challenging year for daycares to navigate COVID, and LPA did a great job of communicating and taking the necessary precautions to keep everyone safe and learning. Thanks LPA!

My son has been going to LPA for a year now and he loves it so much! We love the teachers and all the amazing things they teach them! We love that they use an app to keep us informed of everything that happens daily! It’s very convenient that there is a park next door!Nos during Covid, the teachers has been very careful with the hygiene. We feel very comfortable sending our son everyday!The lunches and snacks are very good, organic and delicious!

Our 4 year old’s previous school closed suddenly and we were in a bit of a scramble to find a new school for her. We visited several other schools and none were a fit. We saw LPA by walking in the neighborhood. We decided to set up a tour. I’m glad we did. Within a short amount of time there, we knew this was the right place for our daughter. She is excited about school and thriving at LPA. We are very happy.

Very happy with LPA. The staff is fantastic and have a great curriculum for the little ones. Always coming home with an anecdote about school or some craft they made is sometimes the highlight of my day. The Brightwheel app to stay informed is great and easy to use, and again the staff is very nice and flexible to any needs we have as parents and the children have as well. Would definitely recommend.

We just started sending our child from 2day to full-time. Great diverse set of teachers who provide great communication throughout the day. Personal attention is given as required. Would definitely recommend LPA to all parents.

My son has been going here for over a year now, and has learned so much. They also serve very healthy food and are located next to a park which is convenient. He always comes home very clean and happy!

Would never send a child to a school with an administrator/staff member that speaks to others the way they do. Clearly not teaching or leading with kindness.

Our son has been attending Lakeview Preschool Academy since it opened and we could not be happier! He loves his teachers and the friends he has made here. Everyday his teachers work on new skills and continue to build on the skills he is working on. He has started to learn how to write his name, count forward and backward, and comprehend stories that are read aloud. Along with academics, his teachers are also working on his social emotional learning. He is learning how to express his emotions in a productive/mature way. He truly loves the daily projects they have planned and is so proud to show us. We are excited to see him grow at Lakeview Preschool Academy!

Our daughter loves going to Lakeview Preschool Academy. She always talks about her art projects and having lots of fun at school. We are very happy with the teacher to child ratio and the personal attention that our daughter receives on a daily basis.

Our 4-year-old daughter has been going to LPA since January of this year, and in that time has learned an astounding amount. She loves the lessons they do each day and is always so excited to show me how she can now write the alphabet, sing about days of the week, count past twenty, and more. We spend most of our time at home talking about her day at school and her new, best friends.After having her at home with me for four years, I was so nervous about having her join a daycare, but I couldnt be happier with my decision to enroll her at LPA. Diana and Ms Snook are incredible people and made her transition into full-time daycare seamless and easy. I know that our daughter is in capable hands and is going to be well-prepared for kindergarten in a year after attending LPA.

We love LPA! Our 3 year old has been going there for almost 6 months and loves it. We were nervous about sending her off to her first school but she is excited to go every day and always comes home having learned something new. Our daughter always comes home with artwork that they have made and she has learned her shapes, colors, numbers and days of the week all from LPA. They teach the children to be more independent by putting on their own boots and coats. There is a park next door that is very convenient. It’s nice to know that when they go outside that they aren’t going far from the building. LPA uses the Brightwheel app for communication and we get constant pictures, videos and updates on meals and naps throughout the day which makes you feel very comfortable about being away from your child. We would highly recommend LPA!

My daughters both started at the sister location (Winnie the Pooh Childcare) when they were about 10 weeks old. It was a very nerve racking process for me to have both babies in full-time care at such a young age, but I have never thought twice about our decision in the nearly 4 years weve been with Miss D and her staff. My girls are 2.5 and almost 4 now and they have always enjoyed their time there and the oldest is now making memories at the new location - Lakeview Preschool Academy.We transitioned my oldest to LPA in July 2018 and it was a big change for her. LPA has all the normal procedures as other childcare providers when you compare (we looked at a list of 3-4 in the area), but here are a few reasons we love LPA:1. Diverse Curriculum and Individual Attention. My daughter is exposed to 3 different languages everyday and the staff accommodates kids individual interests. Theyve added yoga to music and art and we look forward to more activities as the program grows.2. Catered Lunches and Snacks. LPA provides catering which means we do not provide any food or beverages from home. My daughters taste has expanded. Although it was an adjustment at first, she now eats a healthy variety of foods.3. One-on-one time and Stability. Its a small class size at the moment and my daughter gets lots of attention from the teachers. They have a daily schedule that is trackable and easy for us to follow at home.4. The staff is flexible and friendly. I have 2 toddlers and have forgotten water bottles or extra clothes, and the school is prepared to make do for the day. Also, the staff sends me notes/reminders to keep me involved.We work full-time and its hard to commit to tasks. LPA does not require parent participation. We get invitations to a few things throughout the year, but participation is not required. The teachers plan and execute parties and special events for the children.
