Among all the daycares we visited in this area, this one does visually stand out as one of the…read morecleanest. They have a refrigerator-sized sanitizer machine you'll see as soon as you walk through the doors leading to the classrooms. It supposedly runs regularly to clean toys and some bottles. I never saw it in use, but I assume it operates when the facility is closed. Obviously most daycares are a Petri dish for germs, but it seemed like our son caught viruses here on a bi-weekly basis. It wasn't until we started at our new daycare a few months ago that I realized how much less time he was spending sick. Lighthouse's food options appeared satisfactory, although I agree completely with another parent's review that the portions are quite small. You're responsible for bringing your own diapers, wipes, diaper paste, nap rolls, and other essentials every week or as needed. Additionally, if your child is a picky eater (like mine), you pack extra snacks for them in their backpack daily. Lighthouse is undoubtedly the most expensive daycare in the area. Besides the weekly fees, they also charge semester, curriculum, and supply fees. We were paying over $250 a week for two days of care (For an 18 month to 2-year old) plus the extra fees. Additional 100's of dollars billed at different times of the year. It's important to note that you must pay the full amount for these extra fees, regardless of whether your child is enrolled full-time or part-time. Like I said, we had our son enrolled part-time. Considering the charges, I had expected a more value for the experience. Craft projects rarely, if ever, made it home. There were a lot of children in each room, assigned to only one or two teachers. Also, it seemed like most of the event days were held on days we didn't have my son attending. While this isn't necessarily their fault, I did wish there was a reduced supply rate to account for it, as he was missing most of the events and shows. On the positive side, we liked his teachers. They all seemed to be doing their best in a very busy classroom. Ms. Glory and Ms. Takhleeq, in particular, are truly wonderful. When he transferred to their class, we noticed a significant improvement in his mood. If your child is in their class, you're fortunate! They do give you camera access here, but it is limited. If you go over your limit for the day, you're locked out for the rest of the day. There's no counter to show how much time you have left, so you're left up to guess in this regard. A staff member explained that this was to help with network lagging. Too many parents watching constantly stretches their signal to breaking apparently. Understandable, but definitely something to make note of in advance. After the first two weeks at Lighthouse, my son began to hate being dropped off. He would tantrum and cry, and the situation didn't seem to improve. I decided to speak with the director to discuss ways to make the mornings smoother for him. However, this was a mistake. Any concern or question I had was met with dismissive remarks like, "You should have him here more days" and "When are you enrolling him full-time?" We had multiple conversations like this, and I lost count of how many times I had to reiterate that we simply couldn't afford to have him there more than two days a week. It was a wholy embarrassing and uncomfortable experience. When I got home that day, I told my husband that Lighthouse just seemed like a blatant money grab. From that point on, I made it a priority to only seek out the assistant director, Mary, whenever I had any concerns. She was incredibly helpful and provided us with valuable tips. She also advised the teachers on some small ways to make drop-off less traumatic, which I was very grateful for. I didn't expect miracles, just some small gestures that they were actually trying to help our son. The tantrums didn't improve drastically though, and it was something we had to deal with until we left Lighthouse. The mornings were problematic. For a facility that claims to be open from 6:00 to 6:00, the staff scheduling seemed to be a major issue. Some mornings, we would have to drop him off earlier than others due to work or home changes. Whenever this happened, almost always, it would be chaotic. I would try to take him to his usual room, but would be met with a staff member who would tell me that I needed to take him somewhere else, because the teacher wasn't actually there yet. This wasn't a rare occurrence; it happened often. I would pass the front desk and hear the receptionist panicking on the phone because "...the 7:30 people didn't show up!" Sometimes, the alternate classroom would also change without us knowing ahead of time. The worst case was during his last week at Lighthouse when I had to take him to TWO rooms before finally figuring out where he was supposed to be. Often, I was tempted to just take him home because I felt so terrible leaving him there in that environment.

We went with this place because of the good…read morereviews, camera access, and they always made me feel comfortable as a first time mom using a daycare while I was there. Unfortunately, despite them using the Procare app, they take about 2-3 hrs to respond to a message. One day I called after waiting 2hrs for a response and I found out at 1:30pm they forgot to feed my baby his 12pm milk. Every time we check our camera feed my son is left alone standing in his crib to cry it out or sitting in his high chair to cry it out. One day on the camera feed we saw a different baby in his assigned crib which is where we are assuming he got his terrible stomach bug from (vomiting, fever, diarrhea) as he refuses to eat and drink while at the daycare. Today when I withdrew him, I was handed another child's belongings and when I changed my son at home I saw that he was put in a size 5 diaper instead of the size 3 diaper we gave them (my son has sensitive skin). Overall, this place is not worth the money.

My child was neglected by staff that sat on the floor on camera while another child pushed her into a book shelves after the incident happened she still say ok the floor very unbothered until another staff came running across the room to assist the situation. Addressed it with the front staff claimed they don't see it I stated it happened on camera apparently they have mock cameras because everytime you see something harmful happen to the child they will most definitely say they don't see so it's a figment of your imagination I guess. My child has contracted COVID, RSV and STRIP THROAT I addressed the sickness within her class after see the kid laying around teachers constantly wiping his nose and the OWNER and the then Director Sreeja lied to my face on several occasions saying the child was not sick just getting over a common cold but not contagious. Then lies on boo boo reports on what really happens to your child. The owner doesn't exhibit stable knowledge of how to professionally and safely to run her business she routes you to anyone in the front even to make a tuition payment that's the most knowledgeable thing you should know when running a business is how to get paid for your services. I've several meetings with her and the then director and not much changed. The turn over rate is very high there always having to get to know a new teacher. The now current director there Jamelly I don't feel is suitable for her role being that she's very spiteful and not truthful when speaking with same as the other director was I'm guessing this is a character trait to work within this facility that they will lie to your face and expect you to be ok will them learning to properly care for your child as the days go by. She covered for a teachers who miss kids I spoke with her about a teacher miss treating my child and of course the camera didn't catch it and the teacher denied it. I've spoken to the owner and the then curriculum coordinator now turn assistant director to about providing more learning assignments and progress on that was still coming along slowly. I strongly feel this location is and embarrassment to the Kids R Kids franchise which is why the child enrollment rating is low best advice move your child to surrounding schools that offer best education, accurate safety and trustworthy teachers and staff.

My son is learning things like manners, practical life skills, and academic skills in the Transitions class (with 2 and 3 year olds) and he is thriving at this school.

While watching the classroom cameras, I observed teachers spending extended periods engaged in conversation with each other instead of actively engaging with and supervising the children. I observed staff members on their phones, a teacher leave the classroom while children remained inside, and a teacher sitting at the desk while there appeared to be very little engagement or instruction taking place. Most concerning to me was watching an older child repeatedly swing at a smaller child while I did not see appropriate intervention from staff. When I arrived to pick up my daughter, I also personally witnessed teachers sitting on the same table where the children were eating their lunch. I saved the video footage documenting what I observed and sent the videos directly to the director. Despite providing that documentation, I have not received any meaningful follow-up regarding the safety and supervision concerns I raised, nor have I received a resolution regarding the full refund I requested. When I requested my refund, I was referred to the school's policy requiring 30 days' notice in order to receive the deposit back and requiring the child to remain enrolled during that notice period. I understand having a 30-day policy for a normal withdrawal, but this was not a normal withdrawal or simply a change of mind. I removed my daughter approximately 3.5 hours into her first day because of what I personally observed. There is absolutely no way I would leave my child in an environment I no longer felt comfortable with for another 30 minutes simply to satisfy a policy, much less another 30 days. What is particularly concerning to me is that the school's own policies also state that staff members are not supposed to be on their phones, yet I have video footage of staff using their phones during the time my daughter was there. I find it difficult to understand how the 30-day policy can be strictly enforced against a parent while the concerns I documented regarding staff conduct and supervision have not been addressed. I believe the circumstances surrounding my daughter's immediate withdrawal should be taken into consideration when determining whether the standard 30-day withdrawal policy applies. My daughter's safety comes before a deposit or tuition payment. I am sharing this experience because other parents deserve to know what I personally observed and how my concerns were handled so they can make their own informed decision about where they leave their children.

From day one, the staff has been incredibly warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. It only took a few days for my child to adjust, which says so much about the environment they've created.

One of my favorite parts is receiving daily pictures that truly show how happy and comfortable he is. Seeing his interactions with the staff, especially his teacher, gives me so much peace of mind. You can tell they really care about the children and build meaningful connections with them. I'm so grateful to have found a place where my child is not only cared for, but also thriving.
