    Truly, such a wonderful place! The school is so clean and well organized. The directors, teachers, and staff are all great as well. They have such a great amount of patience. Within just a couple of months of my kids starting, my youngest was learning and had become familiar with sign language. This began with his wonderful teachers in the baby room and transitioned into the toddler room. He also continues to use his words and sign at home. My oldest started potty training at home, but his amazing two's teachers were so helpful with being consistent with the potty training while he was at school that he was fully in "big boy" underwear in just a couple of months. He has since moved up a class and his preschool teachers have just as much patience and are just as great!! I wish I can name all the wonderful teachers at the school but I don't want to leave any names out so a BIG shout out to them all!

    We love Lighthouse! I did not have the best experiences with traditional daycare settings with my oldest so we opted for home daycare for my younger kids. The home daycare we went to shutdown which brought us to lighthouse. My kids feel good being dropped off, we get a lot of updates on how they are doing through out the day, and the leadership is very approachable and responsive. The curriculum is fun and educational. It feels good to drop my kids off somewhere that feels like an extension of our family and know they are being well cared for.

    The staff here is absolutely wonderful, Ms Iwona and Ms Aneta are dedicated to building an enriched environment for the pre-k group. Ms Caro was such a strong support system for us when my son started in the 2’s room, bringing him out of his shell and building his confidence. My son was more than prepared for kindergarten thanks to their efforts and support.

    Lighthouse Academy has been an incredible daycare for my daughter. We have had nothing but positive experiences from all of the rooms my daughter has been in over the last two years. The teachers go above and beyond in creativity, and simply just caring for the little ones. They go out of their way to make sure each child feels comfortable, and they are all quick to answer messages on the app about my child’s day! An open line of communication is key- and they excel at it. We absolutely love coming here thanks to Taylor, Caro, Zara and Bella!

    I could talk about this school for hours. My son has been attending Lighthouse for 2 years now and we have had such a good experience. As a new mom I was super anxious about getting my son set up in a daycare/prek; however, the teachers and faculty staff were so inviting, supportive, and kind. They have been incredibly influential and played a huge role in my son’s childhood development and I will forever be grateful for them. Ms. Charlotte is my sons pre-k teacher and she is such a fun and caring teacher. My son is always so excited to attend her class every morning!
