Jackie Pfeffer
My son just loves going to preschool Monday and Wednesdays because of the great staff and the fun toys here! Each week there are new things for him to play with, he gets one on one attention from the teachers, and he loves making new friends! The preschool does lots of fun field trips, has social events, and is warm and welcoming to everyone! I highly recommend Lakeshore Co-op to others!
Esther Slevinsky
The co-op nursery school experience is a fantastic way to get your preschooler ready for school --- they learn how to transition from activity to snack to recess, create a hundred crafts that you will be grateful they did at nursery school and not on your carpet at home, and they form their first friendships. I loved the co-op experience (helping regularly in the classroom) as it allowed me to get to know the other children and their parents and see firsthand how my child was adjusting to a classroom setting. Can't wait for our second child to join this fall!

My 3 kids go to Lakeshore co-op and they absolutely love it. They all look forward going to school and seeing their friends and teachers. My husband and I are very happy with everything. Teachers are the most amazing teachers you could ever wish for, they are kind patient, loving and full of knowledge. The installations are great and we love the community. Thanks to everyone that makes this a reality. We love every single aspect

Our son loves his preschool days and wakes up excited and happy to hear that he is going. He has made great friends, and so have I! It's been such a treat spending time with the kids on my duty days, and while it seems overwhelming at first, you will quickly discover that the work to be done is fun, fulfilling and fruitful. The children learn and the program teachers are so caring and friendly. I would highly recommend this school for your kids and your family.
