Our Approach

Established in 1981, The Lake School is a play based preschool dedicated to providing an environment which stimulates and educates children. Our educators treat children with the utmost respect, scaffolding opportunities for them to direct their own emergent learning. Children learn through experiences of touching,

moving, listening, and observing.  We encourage them to explore and provide endless opportunities for expression.

 

Most importantly, the learning experience needs to be fun and exciting so children develop curiosity and a lifelong love of learning.

 

In every class, our teachers emphasize the strategies and processes involved in learning and self-growth, preparing our students to live thoughtful, creative, and fulfilling lives.

What Parents Think

“The teachers at The Lake School are simply AMAZING.  They are more than just teachers, they are my main source of parenting support to help us creating enriching environments both inside and outside of school"
