Lakeside Childcare strives to create a learning environment that constitutes high quality care, ensures maximized developmental support, and provides plenty of opportunity for exploration of the natural world around them.
Using How Does Learning Happen? Ontario’s Pedagogy for the Early Years, concepts derived from play based learning as well as high scope and nature-based teachings, Lakeside Childcare delivers programming that meets and exceeds the needs of children’s natural curiosity, affinity for risky play, and need and right to feel as though their well being is maintained, can engage and express themselves, as well as have a sense of belonging within the centre and its staff.
Lakeside Childcare is located on 2.5 acres of land, optimal for creating outdoor learning spaces such as garden beds and natural climbing structures.
Our team believes that play is children’s work, and they learn best when they are the catalysts of their programming. Our educators will observe the children in their classroom environment before planning and provoking activities and experiences that meet the children’s developmental needs while touching on subjects they currently enjoy and have interest in.

Our facility features vegetable and herb gardens, enabling children to actively participate in the cultivation of their own meals. We encourage open discussions regarding dietary restrictions and food choices, allowing us to work closely with our on-site chef to align with your family’s food values and specific dietary needs.
Your child will thrive in an environment where they can explore, express themselves, and develop a genuine sense of belonging.
Don’t miss out on the opportunity to stay current and engaged with all things lakeside.
Sarnia City Council APPROVED our zoning bylaw request and we are now one step closer to approval from every party. This was huge for our progress and we couldn’t thank the councillors who put their trust in us enough. Amazing! Minor renovations continue: new flooring
