Lighthouse academy has been nothing but a great experience for my family . My oldest son went to preschool here and still talks about his teacher and how much fun he had at lighthouse (he is now almost in 4th grade) .. Now I have my youngest son here and it is still just as great .
I appreciate their hours as they are very accommodating to a busy work schedule. The classroom structure is great for the kids social and educational development .
I also love the peace of mind during the day as the teachers give updates periodically on my sons day - diaper changes , when he eats and pictures of what new craft or activity he is doing !

Our 20 month old daughter started in May and has had the best experience at Lighthouse Academy! She’s grown by leaps and bounds and talks so much more! It’s amazing to see everything she’s learned over the last 6 months. She loves all of her teachers and friends at school. I love getting multiple photos of her each day and hearing about what she’s learning in class so we can continue it at home. I highly recommend Lighthouse Academy!

We have been a Lighthouse family for five years and the teachers have truly felt like family to us. From the infant room to the school age room the teachers have helped our kids grow academically and socially. We are so grateful for the love and support the Lighthouse teachers give to our family and cannot recommend them enough as a great full day childcare option.

My children leave Lighthouse Academy every day with a smile on their faces! They’ve grown so much — not only socially, but academically as well. I love that I receive daily updates on how their day went, along with pictures and notes throughout the day. It gives me such peace of mind knowing how happy and engaged they are.
The teachers are all so friendly and caring. Mrs. Alyssa is incredibly energetic and always goes above and beyond to make sure my children are happy at school. Ms. Morgan is calm, nurturing, and brings such a gentle presence to the classroom. Ms. Genevieve treats my children like they’re her own — she’s always positive and provides wonderful feedback about their day.
The director, Ms. Stephanie, is truly a dream! She’s warm, welcoming, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure each child has the best experience possible.
I was skeptical about daycares before finding Lighthouse Academy, but after experiencing it firsthand, I can confidently say it’s amazing.

Our daughter is doing so well at Lighthouse. We have recommended this place to many friends. Ms Alyssa and Ms Genevieve are amazing and always make our little girl feel special. Ms Morgan and Ms Olivia have taught her so much, and they send us such cute pictures through out the day. We love how communicative, patient, and friendly the entire staff is!
