About the Provider

Lakewood originally opened in 1961. Mr. Herm Steinman was the principal when the school first opened. It was closed in 1986. Ms. Florence Gasdick was the principal when the school closed. Lakewood reopened for the 2001 school year and both Mr. Steinman and Ms. Gasdick were in attendance at the opening ceremony during the first week school assembly! After reopening, Mr. Rick O'Neill helped to re-establish the rich foundation and legacy of Lakewood. Our current principal is Michael Johnson!

Common questions

The answers people ask us for most often.

How do I contact a provider I found here?

In most cases the provider’s direct number is included in their listing. When it is not, we list the number of the Child Care Licensing Program — you may call that number for more information, or search for the provider online.

Will ChildcareCenter pass a message on to a provider for me?

No. ChildcareCenter only provides information, so enrolment questions, tuition questions and job enquiries need to go to the provider directly using the contact details on their listing. We cannot forward them and we cannot share contact details a provider has not published.

I run a daycare — how do I correct or remove my listing?

Use suggest an update on your listing to correct any detail, or claim the listing to manage it yourself. If you have closed or no longer provide care, contact us and we will update the listing to show that.
