My name is Julie Belk and I am a National Board Certified teacher with over 26 years experience.  My passion is to teach children and challenge them to reach their learning potential and beyond.  Lakeside Preparatory is a Preschool/PreK/ TK/Kindergarten readiness program designed to have your child well rounded and fully prepared for the first day of school.  My program is a combination of play based and structured learning.  I offer each child a differentiated learning path that builds confidence and empowers learning.  You'll find that Lakeside Prep is not just another PreK program.

Mission

Age is just a number!  We understand that children learn at different capacties, therefore we teach each child based on ability and not age.

This program provides a fun-filled, hands on learning experience to help prepare your child for school.  The focus is on academic achievement, fine and gross motor skills as well as social awareness. Children will benefit from whole group activities and small group interactions.  Attention will be given to individual strengths and weaknesses which will allow for differentiated instruction.  Periodic assessments will be given to track monthly and yearly progress.  This program is designed to provide individual tutoring in a collaborative learning environment.  Children benefit from learning through play and social interactions such as music & movement, games, stories and role play.  These activities are used to incorporate imaginative play as well as allow physical fitness.  All activities are developmentally appropriate and set in a nurturing, but structured environment.
