As first time parents during a pandemic we were very nervous about putting our child in daycare at such a young age. But after seeing how well the kids are cared for and all the precautions that are being taken to protect them as well as all the staff it has been very comforting. We love all the activities our daughters is a part of. All the playing, learning, outdoor activities as well as teaching them to be self sufficient.A big plus for us is all the daily updates and photos. As well as being able to check in on our daughter at anytime of the day.Overall very satisfied with everything and everyone but most importantly with the staff that is around the kids. I enjoy seeing how they make sure the kids feel safe and cared for.

Choosing a daycare during a global pandemic was a stressful experience for us, but Childrens Lighthouse made it easy and comfortable. We have really enjoyed our experience here. The facility is bright and sunny and clean. They take safety and health precautions seriously and we always feel safe leaving our daughter here. There is video monitoring if you like and we appreciate the pictures that are sent throughout the day. They do a ton of fun activities with the kids throughout the day. My daughter loves the indoor gym (especially in the winter time). Everyone is welcoming and friendly and knows our daughter by name. Would highly recommend.

Children’s Lighthouse is amazing! My son has been attending here for almost 2 years and he started at 3 years old. The teachers are attentive and provide daily updates on his meals and naps. They take lots of pictures everyday and the fact the I can check into the camera system to see what he is up to live is definitely a plus for this “helicopter mom.” He loves going to school and above all the curriculum at the school is pretty impressive. At 4, my son is able to write his letters and numbers, read off sight words and large 2 digit numbers and is learning to tell time and count coins. Children’s Lighthouse is also very responsive via email and are flexible when I switch days that he attends around. This place is highly recommended!

I love that all the teachers and staff knows us and our children by name. We have been going to Lighthouse for four years, but even in the beginning, everyone always took the time to engage and be friendly! The curriculum is well-rounded and covers areas outside of your typical programs. Emotional learning is so critical during these years and Lighthouse is great at embracing differences and acknowledging gaps.

Perfect balance of education, nurturing and parent/school collaboration. Our 5 year old is absolutely THRIVING - socially, and academically - and I truly believe it’s because of CLH being an extension of our village. :)

My kids are growing in every way imaginable at Childrens Lighthouse! They are exposed to letters, numbers, sign language, and Spanish even at the infant level. I have been impressed with their development over the years, and know that most of that credit comes from Childrens Lighthouse. I appreciate and value the curriculum and schedule that my kids follow on a daily basis. I can notice advancements in language, numbers and reasoning on a weekly level. I call Childrens Lighthouse, school, because it truly is. But even more importantly than that, it is a safe and loving place for my kids and my family and I could not ask for anything more.

I can’t say enough good things about Lighthouse! We send both of our kids there and they love it! I feel confident in the care provided to our children, the building is safe, it is friendly and creative environment, and our children come home learning something new every day. I love the real time updates from Tadpoles and the photos they send throughout the day. During quarantine, they provided us with educational materials and offered virtual circle time to keep our children engaged. Definitely recommend Lighthouse!

They are educational! My children are smarter, more interactive, and happier because of Childrens Lighthouse! The experiences they have there cannot be recreated at home. They are growing into better kids both mentally and physically because of the curriculum. More, the staff genuinely loves my kids. I could not ask for a better home away from home for them. We love you, Childrens Lighthouse!

An amazing team that really cares about the children. It is a very clean location! They prioritize the children and the parents, ensuring that the parents feel comfortable and hold a family atmosphere. The teachers become a part of the childs life and development, rather than just being a teacher.

We really wanted to like this daycare and we did! We put our two year old daughter in the toddler room (I believe thats what they called it or 2s room) they have live viewing so we were able to watch what was happening in the classroom. Day 1 & Day 2 I noticed how the teachers Ms Jenny and Brandy would grab the students by theyre arms and how they sat them on the chairs and the floor. I did not see them being Loving or Caring to those kids by Day 3 my daughter cried because she didnt want to stay there i felt really bad but I left her the moment I left I didnt stop watching the cameras and I saw things that were really wrong and upsetting I couldnt take it anymore so by midday I went to get my daughter I spoke to Diane and Yanet about everything I saw they agreed I had all the right to be upset on what I seen. It was really heartbreaking if you have your kids here or plan on putting them here make sure your on top of the cameras and how they are being treated. We didnt want our daughter to get special treatment we wanted all kids to be treated the same with love and care and that wasnt happening. Ms Jenny did offer to speak to me Im not sure about what but at that point Ive seen who she really was and did not care for her apology. Diane was really great she tried to help find the best solution about this situation and I really appreciate her for that she had offer that our daughter can be placed in a different classroom but the trust I had on this place even though theres live viewing was gone! A day before I actually took my daughter out of this place an ex employee who worked there name ALISSA wrote a bad review about them how the teachers spoke to the kids & so much more a review long as mine, and that review is gone now but I did screenshot it.
