School Philosophy

     Lakeside Presbyterian Children's Center is a church-sponsored childcare program.  We are, and have been dedicated to serving children and their families in the area for over 40 years.  With that established commitment to children, we continue to strive to provide an educational program that considers all the developmental needs of the child.
    We believe all children need a loving, open environment with planned activities, guidance and security.  Our main goal is to stimulate the child's interest, enhance their self-esteem and encourage development in all aspects of a child's growth - physical, social, emotional, cognitive (mental) and spiritual.

Program and Staff

    Our program provides children many opportunities to foster independence and healthy self-esteem while fostering Christian values.  Skill development is encouraged through activities such as math, reading readiness, language, science and motor coordination.  Creativity and social skills are fostered through music and movement experiences, creative arts and dramatic play.
    Our teaching staff is well qualified by education and experience in working with children of a variety of ages.  It is the goal of our staff to build self-esteem and to help the child develop satisfying relationships with people outside the home.
    Lakeside Presbyterian Children's Center is licensed by the State of California Department of Health.  The school is a member of the National Association for the Education of Young Children and the Church Related Early Childhood Fellowship of San Diego County.
