What Parents Say
5 reviews from parents
We love the children’s lighthouse. My kids are always happy when i drop them off and pick them up. No meltdowns. I love their curriculum and work really well with my kids. I love the updates throughout the day on the app and the video footage you can peak on the kids. I would recommend this daycare to all my friends and family.
We have been blown away since day 1 at Lighthouse! Our oldest attended another daycare/preschool in the area and after she graduated we felt compelled to move our younger child to a different school. The administrators at this facility are absolutely incredible! They are always advocating for the safety and well being of the children and don’t ever compromise their high standards which I truly value and appreciate. Every teacher we have had in various classrooms has been incredible, patient, and kind with the children. The classrooms are clean and organized as well. Highly recommend this school for families with young kids in area!
The staff is always on top of things and really goes the extra mile to make sure the kids are safe, happy, and cared for. The communication is great as well, lots of pictures throughout the day! Highly recommend!
Enrolling our son at The Children's Lighthouse when he turned one was a significant decision, filled with the typical anxieties of entrusting your child's care to others. Now, 2.5 years later, it's clear we couldn't have made a better choice. The consistent quality of the lead teachers in each class has been remarkable. They're not just providing childcare; they're dedicated educators genuinely invested in each child's growth and happiness. We feel incredibly lucky to have had such caring and committed individuals guiding our son. Beyond the exceptional staff and owners who foster a warm, nurturing environment, we've been so impressed by their commitment to continually reinvesting in new toys, activities, and fun parties for the kids. Knowing that everyone there truly cares about our son and is dedicated to making his experience enriching is incredibly reassuring. Thank you all for everything you do!
This is the third daycare my toddler has attended, and I am comfortable stating that it has been the best experience by far. We previously tried two different “Montessori” programs, but nothing has come close to the level of care, structure, and positivity we’ve found here. From day one, the difference was clear. My child comes home and tells me he likes his new school, teachers, and friends. The team is warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in the kids. You can feel the engagement and care, and that makes all the difference. The playground gives the kids plenty of space to explore and burn off energy in a safe environment. I also really appreciate the camera system—it gives me peace of mind during the day. I wish we had found this daycare sooner.
