Serving Chicago Families Since 1967
Lakefront Children’s Academy is proud to be recognized as one of the Top 100 Child Care Centers in the Country by Child Care Business Publications:
“These elite child care centers have provided exceptional care to children and their guardians.... With their resources, they are able to help more families and touch more children’s lives with fun, education, and safety.”
Since 1967, The Auburn-Lakefront Corporation has been a trusted partner for Chicago families seeking a nurturing, high-quality early childhood education experience. We have set the standard for safety, professionalism, and excellence in early learning for five decades.
Our Programs
Lakefront Children’s Academy is a full-service private academy dedicated to children ages 2-6 years. We offer flexible scheduling to meet family needs, including full-day and half-day toddler childcare, preschool/pre-k, and kindergarten programs, with options for three or five days per week.
We are proud that many of our pre-kindergarten and kindergarten graduates have gone on to excel in Chicago’s top private, gifted, and selective schools.
Our Staff
Our team of early childhood educators is our greatest asset. Most of our teachers have been with us for many years, providing a stable, enriching, and loving environment for each child. To ensure we deliver the best possible care, our staff regularly attend training seminars and stay updated on the latest developments in early childhood education.
Our Mission
At Lakefront Children’s Academy, we believe that every child deserves to enjoy their childhood while building a foundation for lifelong learning. We do not rush children into acquiring academic knowledge. Instead, we gently guide each child to discover their strengths, accept themselves, and take pride in their personal achievements.
Our experienced staff foster the development of:
-
Self-confidence and independence
-
Curiosity and creativity
-
Persistence and initiative
-
Focus and organizational skills
We also place a strong emphasis on nurturing positive social skills and helping children build trusting relationships with both peers and adults.
Our Philosophy
Our primary objective is to help your child develop a positive attitude toward themselves and toward the process of learning. We strive to build a creative, caring foundation that will serve your child throughout their educational journey—and beyond.
