Lighthouse Academy

We love lighthouse academy and truly are blessed to have found them! Our little has been attending since Starfish room (about 6months old) moving her way up to Seashore room & now attending the Otter classroom– she has loved all the care of her teachers but has found her favorites in her current classroom w/​Ms. Mariah, Samantha, Savannah; and we have welcomed her new teach, Ms. Cierra, with open arms. It’s such a great feeling knowing she is in great hands while away from ours. Being two she knows her colors, letters & can count to 10. She truly loves to get ready for «school» daily and even asks about her teachers during the weekend. We knew from the start this was our place and will continue to keep our little in the care of the wonderful teachers at Lighthouse. THANK YOU for being so great.

I have always been weary and unsure about putting my son’s care in anyone hands. yes, i am that mom. Putting my son in the care of the Lighthouse staff has been nothing but the best. His first teacher’s were Ms. Jamie and Ms. Alex were awesome. I knew from the get go, that I could count on them if i needed anything or had any concerns. Soon after my son grew a bond with his teachers and excelled socially with his classmates. It warmed my heart to see him super excited to learn and play with his friends. When it was time to move up into his pre-​k class yet again, I was nervous. But once I saw him blossom more and more it reassured me that I made the right choice. Ms. Vickie and Ms. Brittany did a great job preparing him for kindergarten. Now my son is reading and writing better than ever. The girls have been nothing but a blessing. :)

My two children go to Lighthouse Academy. My daughter is 3 and has been there since 15 months. My son is 15 months and has been there since 12 weeks. We have had a great experience. My daughter loved Ms Lily and Ms T from her last classroom and still talks about them often. Ms Jaime, the current director, goes out of her way to make sure our children are happy and well cared for. She is very flexible and understanding of each parent’s working situation and each child’s personality. I can focus at work because I know my kids are in good hands. My daughter has made very nice friends that she has grown up with and enjoys attending their birthday parties. Every time I pick her up and peak into the classroom, she is having a great time.

My family loves Lighthouse Academy!
My daughter has been attending since she was 7 months old. We had a terrible experience at her first daycare prior to finding Lighthouse. She wouldn’t nap during the day, and when I picked her up she was always crying (or red faced from crying). She just wasn’t receiving the attention and the loving care that she needed. I reached out to everyone I knew and found Lighthouse. Thank goodness I did! Within the first week at Lighthouse she was reaching for the staff out of my arms, sleeping 3+ hours in naps per day, and she was her normal cheery self again. I can tell that the staff truly cares about her. She is now 2.5 years old and she is thriving! She has loved every room as she has grown older, and loves all of the teachers/​staff. Friends and family constantly comment on how smart she is. While we do work with her at home, it would not amount to much if they were not also engaging her, and teaching her, on a daily basis.
Thank you, Lighthouse, for making your facility a place where she loves to be!

My daughter has been at this school for almost 2 years. She has been in three different classrooms and has loved every one of them. Now she is in the the Pre-​k class and loves it. She is learning so much and I know she will be more than ready for Kindergarten next fall. All the teachers and staff are wonderful and caring and I feel confident she is in the best care possible.

Our daughter has been going to Lighthouse since she was 4 months old and is now 3. We have loved every teacher we have encountered through the several classes she has moved up in. Starting with the baby room where our 3 month old son will start attending at the end of October. The care and love shown by all the staff has been wonderful and given that I cannot be a stay at home mom they are the only people I would trust with my children.
Starfish Room (6 weeks — 12 months)
The room ratio here is wonderful. Ms. Kari and Ms. Dwani are amazing teachers and love on the little babies. When our daughter was here the teachers treated her as if she was their own. Ms. Kari has been there since we attended and Ms. Jenny who is in the next room was also there and is amazing. They also got our daughter off a bottle for us and kept her on her schedule which as a mom you know how important that is.
Seahorse Room (12 – 18 months)
Ms. Jenny & Ms. Stephanie were amazing and the art projects they do in this room are so much fun to see. They are so creative and caring and always trying to entertain these babies who are crawling. This room all the kids are on the same schedule and they helped us only have our daughter use a pacifier during naps only and then helped wean her off completely.
Otters (18 – 27 months)
The teachers in this class have changed since our daughter was there however again this class was full of art projects every day. Our daughter learned her ABC’s by this class and was already counting to 10. She also was potty trained at 18 months and they have a potty in this class.
Seahorses (27 – 36 months)
Outdoor playtime is so much fun in this class. Huge rooms and small class sizes. Ms. Lily & Ms. T were again amazing and loving and our daughter was so sad when Ms. T left. She still sees Ms. Lily and as a mother it is comforting to see that your daughter is happy going to school and loves her teachers.
Pelican (3 & 4 years)
Our daughter just moved to this class and they are teaching her how to write her name, alphabet, numbers, days of the week. They sing songs have outdoor playtime, and again art everyday.
We absolutely love this school and their Christian based training and love. It’s amazing to us to see how our daughter has grown and knows so much more than other kids her age. She knows so many bible stories and says prayers before each meal. Also, Ms. Jamie and Ms. Brittany who are the Director and Asst. Director are so personable and are always willing to assist with my every changing schedule. We could not be happier with having our kids attend Lighthouse.
Also, we have referred at minimum 4 separate families and all of them have said the same thing that they love Lighthouse and they all still attend after 2 – 3 years. SEND YOUR CHILD HERE!!! I

I love the lighthouse academy they prepared my child for kindergarten which my son is the top of his class. I want to say thank you to Miss Brittany and Miss Vicky they love to teach they have very good technique and they always kept me informed how my child is dong in the classroom.
I have a second child who is very challenging but Mrs Liily has help him a lot now he’s doing good in school. I would recommend this school to any of the parents

This is an awesome Christian based child day care. Our two boys have been going there for almost three years now and our oldest just graduated. Highly recomend.

DO NOT PUT YOUR CHILD IN THESE PEOPLE’S CARE!!!
I had my child at this daycare and loved it until the director moved to another state and a new director was hired. The experience I had each day drastically changed as a result of the new director. Below are the pros and cons so you have a clear understanding of what you are getting yourself into.
Pros
The rooms are clean and the ratio is low. They also wash the linen there, so you don’t have to take it home and wash it. They allow you to pay by credit card, which makes it easy.
Cons
In the fridge there were 10 TEN gallons of milk that were expired by at least a week. This means that they were giving our children spoiled milk. In the classroom was spoiled milk also. To avoid this, you can bring your own milk and have them give your child only food and drink that you bring.
Injuries occur without an explanation. I know this happens at every daycare; however, what doesn’t happen is when you take your kid to the hospital because of an injury, the nurse asked what the name of the daycare was and when the name Lighthouse Academy was given, the nurse cringed and said she couldn’t say much due to confidentiality reasons, but she sees a lot of «unexplained» injuries from that location and would personally never have her child there.
This is supposed to be a Christian based company, but the staff was seen having an inappropriate interaction with a married parent. It was just a kiss, but who knows what happens behind closed doors. When staff was notified, they gave several excuses as to why this happened and minimized the incident.
I walked in and witnessed the teacher being aggressive physically and verbally with my child and when I walked in, the teachers face got bright red. I did not want to cause a scene in front of the other children so I brought it to the director and again it was minimized.
Anything that is brought to the attention of the director, you will be cut off while speaking and be told about her 30 years of experience. The staff is very friendly and sweet, until you start asking questions about things that are going on. Then they do anything they can to get you out of there.
If you care about your child at all, you will NEVER leave him/​her alone at this location. At least until they are old enough to tell you what is going on.
