Waddlers Program
Step into an Exciting Journey: Tailored Nurturing and Specialized Care for Our Waddlers
Playful Learning Abounds
In this stage of life, Waddlers begin to slowly spread their wings as they start to understand more about themselves and those around them. As they learn about the world and their surroundings, their curiosity leads to newfound bravery. Learning becomes a daring adventure!
A Day in the Life at Lakeside Christian Academy
Waddlers feel confident in themselves and secure about their world when they know what to expect, which is why we carefully design a routine that best fits their natural rhythm and your schedule.
Our Waddlers join the rest of the school in our kids’ theater for Chapel three times a week. Waddlers also enjoy circle time, music and movement, Bible stories, and captivating lessons in a range of subjects that support social and emotional growth.

How can I communicate with my child’s teacher?
The success of our program is based on establishing a partnership between our parents and staff. Open and frequent communication will help your child have a positive early learning experience. Teachers and Administrators welcome the opportunity to speak with parents. Drop off and pick up can be a busy time for our teachers. Therefore, we encourage you to make an appointment so that undivided attention may be given to you. Teachers will communicate regularly with parents about their child’s progress and milestones being reached through an app that connects parents and teachers by enabling digital daily reports, pictures, messages, and more.
When are students required to wear a uniform?
From age one. Children participate in various activities throughout the day, some of which are messy or athletic, and play outdoors daily, weather permitting. Because of this, it’s our policy that students must wear their Lakeside Christian Academy shirts from Monday to Friday. Additionally, no open-toed or open-backed shoes are allowed. The most appropriate shoes for participation in school activities are rubber-soled sneakers with socks.
