Lakewood Childcare Center

Each child has their own cubby in which they keep their belongings.

Designed for our youngest children, this play area gives them space to safely explore.

Typically, our Great Room is a meeting place for playing in the morning, working together with friends, and even attending family events on weekends.

For our older students, this play area gives them safe space to explore and flex their gross-motor abilities.

We firmly believe books are one of the most critical parts of an education—so we give our children ample opportunities to explore the literary world.

Our youngest children—starting as young as six weeks—find a second home in our infant room, with designated play and nap areas, and plenty of new things to learn and explore.

Our infants love seeing what's happening in their environment—both indoors and out.

Each infant has their own crib in an area separate from the main classroom to promote nap schedules and quiet space.

This designated area gives our infants a safe space to play at various points in their development.

After they advance from the infant room, young toddlers find independence in our newest classroom, opened in fall 2019.

Your young toddler will switch from a crib to a cot as just one of their many areas of development in this classroom.

From science to play, young toddlers experience entirely new opportunities in this room.

Explore our Older Toddler Room, with dedicated spaces for math, science, drama, language, art and, of course, play.

In this classroom, our older toddlers learn independence—and much more (including potty training, thanks to this room's two bathrooms).

Older toddlers have emotions—and this quiet corner allows them to have time alone in a safe, comfortable, cozy environment.

From puzzles to trains to dolls and more, the older toddler classroom gives children an opportunity to expand and explore their interests.

In preschool, our 3- and 4-year-olds explore various subjects, from science and math to language and drama.

Our children love when we read to them—making dedicated spaces with fun, interesting and diverse books a must.

Language, art and writing are important skills your child will learn or enhance in preschool.

Here, your child will prepare for kindergarten—everything from writing to math to, most importantly, teamwork and cooperation.

Our large pre-K classroom gives your growing child space to safely explore.

Learning is important, but playing is too. We make sure our children get a balance of both (and, often, they do both at the same time).

Beginning in August 2021, Lakewood Child Care Center will offer a Pre-K option that runs on the Lakewood City Schools calendar, from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. daily.

This recently remodeled classroom will give 4- and 5-year-olds the chance to learn and grow before entering kindergarten.

4- and 5-year-olds will have the chance to socialize and prepare for kindergarten on a typical elementary school schedule (9 a.m.-3 p.m., from late August through early June).

Getting outdoors is critical to our children's health and well-being. We offer two outdoor play areas—including this large patio.

Students of all ages can find their fit in our outdoor play area, which offers two climbers for your growing child's needs.

Our children love testing their skills and exploring new physical capabilities on our playgrounds.
