  An amazing school. My son adjusted so well even though he is very clingy to me. The teachers welcome him in in every classroom he enters . They are very curriculum heavy which I love. His teachers Ms. Maddison and Ms. Makenzie get a special shout out for their hard work and attitude. Very nurturing and educated. Although change is inevitable in every industry, admin always keeps us update and does check ins on how my son is adjusting. I’m a helicopter mom but I trust this school and the staff. Infant teachers are also wonderful! Highly recommend.

  We did end up receiving 2 voicemails yesterday from who we assume to be the owner - we couldn’t understand her name due to language. Thank you for finally reaching out but as I said we’ve moved on. Edit to update: I called again on Sunday after reading your response and was able to leave a voicemail this time, but I never received a call back. I figured I’d walk over yesterday to save the call back, but no one answered the door. It’s ok, we’ve decided to move forward with another center we were able to tour. Thank you for your time. No one answers the phone and we’ve yet to receive a phone call back to get information on our 3 littles joining. We just moved around the corner so this location would have been ideal but we are looking elsewhere now after trying numerous times. The one star only speaks for initial impressions since we cannot speak for the quality of care.

  I wasn't sure if I was going to write this review, but I did not want any other children would not go through what my son did. When we first started at this preschool my son was so excited, he has always been a very happy boy, but that quickly changed. He turned into a different person, at first we thought it was separation anxiety but we noticed a lot of things from teachers yelling at not just my son but other kids ( we walked in once to a child crying and asking for her mother and the teacher snapped at her to stop calling for her mom, her mom wasn't coming, this was brought to the attention of the director). I went to pick up my son once and he had nothing on but a shirt and his underwear and was wrapped in a blanket, no pants no shoes, when asked what happened I was told by the teacher he had an accident and no change of clothes... he has 3 changes of clothes there, no one thought to call the parents to bring clothes on there way to pick him up. Fast forward to the worse incident, we pick him up when we went to give him a shower he had two HUGE scratches on his back, when asked about it he mentioned a little girl did it ( the kids hit each other A LOT here, you can make complains nothing happens). Come to find out a TEACHER had SCRATCHED my son... she admitted to it...Picture is attached. The same teacher who used withholding food as a FORM OF PUNISHMENT to a 3 year old. Now I will tell you this, when we complained about teachers and how they were treating our son they started targeting him. They labeled him as "bad" well here he is in a new school thriving. He wasn't bad he was being mistreated by the adults who were trusted to protect him. The owners will reply to this and say they tried to work with us, you don't realize the unsafe environment until you are out of it. My son is back to his old self. If I could have given them a negative star I would. Be careful, what we thought was a wonderful experience for our son turned out to be a traumatic event.

  We are so grateful for this place. The staff is wonderful, and the center is very nice. Our toddler actually enjoys going to school now! They have a lot of fun and parents are supplied with plenty of pictures throughout the day.

  My son has been attending Children's Lighthouse for the past 10 months, and he absolutely loves it. Ms. Rachna and Ms. Samata have been wonderful teachers—kind, patient, and caring with the children. Their dedication creates a positive and nurturing environment, and we are very happy with our experience.
