We love Lakeside Charter. My child went to kindergarten and now in 1st grade here. She's had…read moreamazing teachers and even though we lost our principal we started with, the interim principal has been nothing but amazing. All we ask and look for is making sure our child is happy, learning and around people who care about her and her growth and we have that at Lakeside! I LOVE the fact it's smaller and we can proudly say we have literally had 0 complaints!

I have two children in this school and it's second year I am attending. Unfortunately due to a…read morefirst principal leaving because he got a better job and second one not being so good there has been some staff turnover over but now we have a good principal and he is trying very hard to keep all the staff. Those teachers that are at the school are amazing and class sizes are small my kids went to different school before, A rated school and they love lakeside charter much more and don't want to leave. There was a plumbing issue, because of a big storm that was resolved a long time ago. I can't speak for the special classes my kids are in regular classes but overall it's not a terrible school teachers do the best in accommodating kids and their different levels.

Our daughter had a wonderful 2 year experience at Grace Covenant Academy for pre-school…read more We had been to Grace for church several times with friends, but do not regularly attend this congregation. We live about 35 minutes away and are happy with our church, which is closer to home. We knew the church was nice and really enjoyed the services, but we were still very impressed when we came back to tour the GCA side of the church campus. The facilities are new, well maintained, and very clean. The entire staff, from the teachers to the front office, were friendly, kind, and even caring. They definitely helped set a solid foundation for her. I cannot say enough about the job that both teachers did to help with the development of her social skills and character. We would have kept her there for elementary, but the hours and commute were not conducive to my work schedule. I would highly recommend looking into GCA if you are considering preschool or private school in the Lake Norman area.

The Children's Cottage is an amazing school and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for…read morechild care. My daughter started going there at 12 weeks and is now almost 2 years old. She has absolutely thrived and can't wait to get to school each day. She truly loves the staff and they sincerely love her as well. She's not just another student at the school, they love her and take pride in her accomplishments and achievements, as do I and that means so much to me as a parent. The teachers are caring and patient and use excellent state provided curriculum to ensure every student is prepared for kindergarten. The outdoor play area is like nothing else offered by other schools in the area and fosters a whole new level of outdoor learning and play. The Children's Cottage has been established since the mid 1990s and I am so thankful that my daughter is a student there. I know that when she is dropped off each morning, she is well taken care of, is learning, and has of fun!

This was a good school 3 years ago, but has gone down hill, quicker with every passing year. Don't make the same mistake we did and fall for the marketing and admissions hype. They sell a good story, but after you are in, the dream becomes a nightmare. We are not coming back next year and we dread having to work with the registrar and admissions to get our transcripts for our children.

This place was highly recommended to me by many people. I called and they told me when to come in…read morefor a tour. When we arrived, they were clearly caught off guard by and were not expecting us. The director, Tiffany, seemed bothered by our presence and wasn't friendly. She received a phone call and quickly went back to her office. Janet took over for Tiffany and started providing us information. When it came to our daughter's age, suddenly Tiffany took enough interest to tell us that there were already 6 children in front of us on the waiting list. She seemed to be trying to ward us off. Janet provided us with a tour and was very friendly and kind. When we left Tiffany was still in her office. I told Janet that we would pay the holding fee to be on the waiting list because I thought the uncomfortable feeling I got from Tiffany was all in my head. But, when my husband and I left, he told me he received the same cold and uncaring feeling from her. Perhaps it was my fault and I messed up the day/time that we were supposed arrive. I certainly wouldn't want to inconvenience anyone. I still don't think that excuses the treatment we received. They could have told us to come back another time or they needed some time to prepare because they weren't expecting us. The place was immaculate and I'm sure it's one of the nicest daycares around. Too bad their treatment of people doesn't match their facilities.

The treatment at times felt inhumane and lacking in compassion or professionalism. In addition, the curriculum was extremely lackluster and did not provide the level of educational engagement or developmental support that was promised. Overall, the experience was disappointing and concerning.
