About us

Our play-based philosophy

The Lakeview Community Preschool is a learning community that offers our youngest community members' meaningful early educational experiences both in and out of the classroom. Our certified teachers and dedicated parent volunteers work together to infuse our spaces and programs with a sense of safety, comfort, and playfulness, allowing students to grow the social, emotional, physical and cognitive skills to thrive in kindergarten and beyond!

​

"Play is the highest form of research."

Albert Einstein

​

Our program has evolved out of a strong sense of community in Lakeview. In 1967, a young mother named Mrs. Blasken brought together families who were interested in creating opportunities for young children to develop their social skills with same-aged peers. 

​

In 2007, our teachers and parent volunteer board designed and renovated a space at the Lakeview Baptist Church where we continue to offer licensed and regulated early childhood education programming year round. Today, our program continues to emphasize the important role parents and families play in the transition from toddler to kindergartner. Parent involvement in and out of the classroom empower their children to explore, inquire, create, experiment, and ultimately learn how to learn.
