See Inside Lakewood Child Care Center
We realize coming to visit us in person may not be possible at this time—so we're bringing a look inside our five-star child care center to you. From infant to kindergarten classes, Lakewood Child Care Center offers a range of classrooms (which all meet or exceed COVID-19 cleaning standards to help ensure your child and your family's health and safety).
Entryway
Each child has their own cubby in which they keep their belongings.
Great Room Play Area 1
Designed for our youngest children, this play area gives them space to safely explore.
Great Room
Typically, our Great Room is a meeting place for playing in the morning, working together with friends, and even attending family events on weekends.
Great Room Play Area 2
For our older students, this play area gives them safe space to explore and flex their gross-motor abilities.
Library
We firmly believe books are one of the most critical parts of an education—so we give our children ample opportunities to explore the literary world.
Infant Classroom
Our youngest children—starting as young as six weeks—find a second home in our infant room, with designated play and nap areas, and plenty of new things to learn and explore.
Infant Classroom Outdoor View
Our infants love seeing what's happening in their environment—both indoors and out.
Infant Cribs
Each infant has their own crib in an area separate from the main classroom to promote nap schedules and quiet space.
Infant Safe Play Space
This designated area gives our infants a safe space to play at various points in their development.
Young Toddler Room
After they advance from the infant room, young toddlers find independence in our newest classroom, opened in fall 2019.
Young Toddler Room
Your young toddler will switch from a crib to a cot as just one of their many areas of development in this classroom.

From science to play, young toddlers experience entirely new opportunities in this room.
Older Toddler
Explore our Older Toddler Room, with dedicated spaces for math, science, drama, language, art and, of course, play.
Older Toddler
In this classroom, our older toddlers learn independence—and much more (including potty training, thanks to this room's two bathrooms).
Older Toddler Quiet Corner
Older toddlers have emotions—and this quiet corner allows them to have time alone in a safe, comfortable, cozy environment.
Older Toddler
From puzzles to trains to dolls and more, the older toddler classroom gives children an opportunity to expand and explore their interests.
Preschool
In preschool, our 3- and 4-year-olds explore various subjects, from science and math to language and drama.

Our children love when we read to them—making dedicated spaces with fun, interesting and diverse books a must.

Our large pre-K classroom gives your growing child space to safely explore.

Learning is important, but playing is too. We make sure our children get a balance of both (and, often, they do both at the same time).
