We have a 1 year old & 3 year old attending and cannot say enough amazing things about it. The teachers absolutely love the kids and it shows in what they do every day, they are always so happy and excited to see my kids in the am and my kids happily go to their teachers! Running and giving hugs in the morning & reaching out of my arms for my one year old to go to hers. When my 2 (now 3 yr old) first started he wasn’t talking much! Now we have full conversations on the way home about how fun his day was and how he’s excited go back the next day! He has grown so much academically and in God as well! He is learning every day Christian values and that foundation is absolutely priceless. All the staff is absolutely amazing! They work with parents and keep us so informed. They use an app called Brightwheel to update everything that goes on with your child. From diapers to eating to naps & pictures of them enjoying themselves! (Which are often some of the sweetest photos) The extra mile they go to make a parent feel comfortable in having to leave their child in their hands, I will forever be grateful for. It makes me feel that I am with them, even when I can’t be. I will always recommend this school to any family because they have been so amazing for ours! ----- Author: Grace Hucks Rating: 5/5 Date: 8/28/2024, 1:16:26 PM Review: Lakeside Christian Academy is a gem!

Lakeside Christian Academy was an absolute lifesaver when we were in need of a last-minute preschool for our daughter. From the teachers and staff to the director, everyone has been incredibly personable, caring, and accommodating. The facility itself is clean, bright, colorful, and truly child-friendly. We are so happy to be part of the LCA family and couldn’t recommend them more!

I have loved having my son here for the VPK program. He is having the time of his life building friendships, learning foundational skills to help him succeed & being loved just like he was at home.

It’s always in Gods timing! I was looking for specifically a Christian Academy to send my daughter to and behold Lakeside church started their first year right when I was looking. My daughter goes full time and she is extremely happy, which makes me a happy momma. She’s an only child so socializing has been very important. Her teacher Veronica has been an absolutely blessing and my daughter retains so much information! She will be well prepared on her way to VPK and later public school. She will be READY!!

We have a Waddler (1) and Toddler (2) that have been attending LCA since Day One, and the experience has been nothing short of amazing for our children! Their teachers are so attentive, loving, and really have a heart for what they do. Our 2 year old talks all the time about how much she loves her teachers and friends, and our 1 year old is always so happy to go into the arms of his teacher. They both love going to school; it is such a joy to see updates with pictures of them having fun through the day! We appreciate how LCA prides themselves on having smaller classroom sizes so the teachers can really be able to pour into their students and focus on the whole child. This school is a true ministry for the Lord. Our babies get to go to chapel three times a week, what a joy! To have them come home singing and humming worship music has the Angels singing and our hearts so full! The director, Xio, is very detail-oriented, and she has been running this ship like a well-oiled machine. The entire staff from administration to teachers really connect great together, and their environment is so peaceful. I thank God over and over what a blessing LCA is to our family. God's favor is upon this place! We are proud to be a part of this extraordinary family.
