Programs

Programs That Grow With Your Child

Choosing care for your child is a big decision. At our schools, your child is known by name, cared for by teachers who love what they do, and encouraged to explore, play, and grow every day.

6 Weeks - 12 Months

Infants

There's more happening in your baby's first year than meets the eye. Every cuddle, song, and tummy-time session is building trust, language, and a growing sense that the world is a safe place to explore. Our infant teachers treat those little moments like the big deals they are.

1 Year - 2 Years

Toddlers

Toddlers are in constant motion, and every step, stumble, and "I do it!" is learning in action. This is the year of first words, big feelings, and boundless curiosity. Our teachers channel all that energy into discovery while keeping the day steady and warm.

2 Years - 3 years

Junior Preschool

Two-year-olds live between two worlds: still little, but so ready for more. They're testing independence, soaking up words, and learning what it means to be a friend. Junior preschool meets them right in that in-between, with room to try and support to land.

3 Years - 4 Years

Preschool

Preschoolers are natural scientists, artists, and storytellers. Ask one question and you'll get ten back. Our classrooms turn that curiosity into the building blocks of reading, math, and friendship, without ever making learning feel like work.

4 Years - 5 years

Pre-Kindergarten

The year before kindergarten is a big one, and pre-K children know it. They're ready for real challenges, proud of what they can do, and hungry to do more. We channel that pride into the skills and confidence they'll carry through the kindergarten door.

5 years - 12 Years

School Age

School-age kids need a different kind of care around the school day: a place that respects that they're big kids now, with room to burn energy, finish homework, and just be themselves. Our teachers know the difference between watching kids and actually knowing them.

5 years - 12 Years

School Break

School breaks should be exciting for kids and stress-free for families. From special activities and games to time with friends, our School Break program keeps children engaged, active, and having fun when school isn't in session.

Nurturing Care

Personalized Attention for Every Child

Our caring teachers give each child individualized support throughout the day, whether that's cuddles and one-on-one attention for our youngest learners or encouragement and independence for our oldest. Every child is known, supported, and met right where they are.

Developmental Milestones

From first steps to first words to reading readiness, our teachers know each stage well and celebrate every milestone with you.

Learning Through Play

At every age, play is how children learn. Our teachers turn songs, games, and discovery into language, math, and confidence.

Supporting Parents

Daily reports and updates keep you close to your child's day, and your questions are always welcome, at drop-off or anytime.

What You Can Expect

Safe, secure schools, consistent teachers who know your child, and a warm routine your family can count on every day.

Why Our Families Trust Us

"We toured several other schools before finding Lakestones, and none of them ever felt like the right fit for our family. From the moment we met Adrienne and toured Lakestones, we immediately felt at home! Our daughter absolutely loves her teachers (shoutout to Ms. Hope!), and it gives us so much peace of mind knowing how loved and well taken care of she is throughout the day. Receiving updates and pictures throughout the day truly makes our day and gives us so much reassurance knowing she’s happy, learning, and having fun while we’re away from her. They do such a great job incorporating learning, outdoor play, and fun into her days, and they even provide lunch and snacks. As busy parents, it’s so nice not having to worry about packing a million things for school every morning because they truly do it all! We couldn’t be happier with our experience and are so thankful to be part of the Lakestones community."

"We have had such a wonderful experience with Lakestone Academy in Cartersville! My 1-year-old is so loved, cared for, and well taken care of every day. As a parent, it gives me so much peace of mind knowing that she is in a safe, nurturing, and happy environment. A very special thank you to Mrs. Jada and Chelsey! ❤️ They are incredibly caring, patient, and loving with my daughter, and you can truly see how much they care about the children. My little one feels comfortable and happy with them, which means everything to us. We are so grateful to have found Lakestone Academy and truly appreciate all the love and attention they give our daughter. I would highly recommend them to any parent looking for a caring and trustworthy daycare! ❤️"

We chose this school because we wanted a safe, caring environment where our child could learn and grow. Although we’ve only been here for two days, we’ve already had a great first impression of the teachers and staff. Everyone has been welcoming and helpful, and we appreciate how comfortable they’ve made us feel. We’re excited to see how much our child grows and learns throughout the year. I would tell another family that it seems like a warm and caring place where the staff truly wants the best for the children. ❤️

Common Questions

Everything You Need to Know

How do I know which program is right for my child?

Age is the starting point, but every child is different, and fit matters just as much. When you tour, your school's director will ask about your child, their routines, and what they're working on, then recommend the classroom that suits them best. If your child is between stages, we'll help you decide together.

Are all programs offered at every school?

Programs and ages served vary by school, and so do options like transportation and summer camp. For the most accurate information on current programs and availability, find your local school and reach out by phone or through the request information form. The school's director is always happy to walk you through their programs and help you find the right fit.

How will I know how my child's day went?

You'll get daily reports and updates on your child's day, from feeds and naps for the littlest ones to meals, activities, and milestones as they grow. Teachers also share the small moments that make your day, and drop-off and pickup are always a chance to talk. You'll never be left wondering how the day went.

How do I get started?

Start by finding the school nearest you, then schedule a tour. You'll meet the director, see the classrooms, and get answers on tuition, availability, and start dates for your child's age group. If you decide it's the right fit, we'll walk you through enrollment step by step, and help you and your child get ready for a great first day.

What are your teacher-to-child ratios?

We follow the child-to-teacher ratios required by each state for every age group, so younger children always have more hands and eyes on them. Every employee completes a background check before their first day, and our teachers complete the training their state and program require. You're welcome to ask your school about the specific ratios for your child's classroom.

Are meals and snacks provided?

It varies by school. Some of our schools provide meals and snacks, some provide snacks while families send lunch, and at a few, families provide meals. Whichever way your school works, they'll tell you exactly what to expect, and they'll work with you on allergies and dietary needs.
