So far, our time at Lakeshore has been stellar. We live on the Peninsula so the location is…read moreawesome. We aren't members of the church and aren't particularly religious but the curriculum (while Christ centered) isn't rammed down your throat. It's a small school with smal classes and all of the faculty seem to genuinely care about the kids and the community. Since the space is so small and their reputation is good, I'd recommend registering as soon as you can. We were wait listed for a short time before availability popped up.

Truly disappointed that Lisa the owner cares about the business but not about the well being of the kids. We had to unenrolled our son due to back to back incidents with the teachers . Despite the multiple complaints and opportunities that we gave the school they still didn't want to work with us with the unenrolling fee. We were forced to take our son out after many issues and he stating the he didn't want to be in the school anymore. Lisa deleted and added messages in the parents app as she pleased so the rude messages from the teachers will not appear. He was moved to his old class where he felt safe, but this was done after multiple incidents and we lost the trust in the school. One of the teachers in the afternoon class was rude to me and told me to lower my voice , and be quiet when I was telling my son to roll his mat to come outside. As an adult, the tone made me feel uncomfortable, as if I was being reprimanded. I can only imagine how a kid will feel if that teacher is talking to them in the same way she did to me. Lisa decided not to work with us and charge the full upcoming month just because we saw it is not safe for our son anymore. How can we keep our son in that environment? Will definitely raise this with best business bureau. Parents be aware the employee turnover is high and that says a lot!

There are worse schools and there are better schools. We did not have a good experience and left…read moreafter two months. My toddler was unhappy and stressed there, did not like his main teacher, and would complain about her yelling and another child hitting him. When I brought that up to the teacher she said that she was not aware of him having been hit and that he should tell her if someone hits him. The last time I brought my child in I saw the boy pick on him and the teacher was not paying attention. And I myself have heard the teacher raising her voice on a couple of occasions. When we left, no one seemed to care. There was a conversation about him finishing off his last few weeks in a different classroom which went unanswered. We had previously experienced a preschool with admin and teachers that were warm and personable and took an interest in each student individually, but switched due to scheduling needs. This school was not like that. He learned, but this was not a warm, caring environment towards the students or parents, so we're putting him back in his old preschool. To be fair, I did like Ms. Margo in admin and my child's favorite teacher was Ms. Lana who is the enrichment teacher.

Tried to register my nibbling here and I met the Receptionist and Principal. They assisted me in my…read moreregistration journey and got me going in the right direction. I had to be pretty persistent with them because I was going off information from our previous school and sometimes things get lost in transferring. The information I had wasn't the most accurate but I think my persistence helped in getting the ball rolling. I didn't see much of the school but it overall seems like a great school and I heard great things about it. I would have loved for my nibbling to go there but we were placed at another school.

I've said this on google and I'll say it again:…read more This school is falling apart. They can't seem to keep a teacher and the ones that are hired don't know how to teach. It is said that the curriculum is "challenging" but in reality it goes very slow and your child will end up behind later on in life. The hot lunch program is not worth it as the prices are quite high and by the time lunch comes the food isn't hot anymore. This school looks good on paper when it's all lies. Perhaps is nicer for the elementary students but the headmaster is too ambitious and the constant new additions leave the middle school with the bare minimum. You can tell that some teachers actually are there for the kids and it is a shame that amazing people are left with horrible management and lies. Please ask for opinions from parents of students here before sending you kid to this school.

The truth is I am very pleased with the teaching method, the teachers and the director.read more

The school is so fresh and so clean clean since everything is new! The school starts at 9:15am and ends at 4:15pm. I hear the carpool line is long so expect to wait a while in the afternoon. There was a small hiccup when we first got there on the first day but things were quickly ironed out. Things are very busy in their front office in the morning so patience is needed. Overall I get a good feeling about this school. From what I have seen the staff is kind and helpful. I hope we have a great rest of the school year.
