I absolutely LOVE this place for my daughter!!! She has been at this school for close to a year now…read moreand she has made so many friends!! Kat and her staff are absolutely wonderful and very attentive! I have never had a hard drop off, all the teachers are cheerful and greet my little one with enthusiasm and excitement. Since starting at this school my daughter has learned so many wonderful lessons such as kindness, how to be helpful and a better listener at home! The teachers also teach from an actual curriculum so I feel confident that my child will be prepared for Kindergarten next fall!! My child also has actual homework to complete over the weekend to reinforce what was taught during the week and so that's an exciting thing for her and I! Upon entering, The school is clean well maintained and doesn't smell like a dumpster full of dirty diapers in July. This is extremely important to me as the last place my daughter was at wasn't very good at keeping a clean environment. The teacher to child ratio is fair and balanced and teachers aren't being overwhelmed and overrun by the children. Overall, this is a very engaging environment for children to develop their young minds and I couldn't be more pleased with this school. If you are new to the area and looking for a great place to put your child where they can learn and grow, please consider this school. If even you are looking for a change and want something better for your child, please consider this school. Call Kat and schedule a tour today! You will not be disappointed and your child will thank you immensely!!!

The school teacher Miari, did not say a thing to me about the injury when picking her up from…read moreschool at 5:30pm . It was when I got home I noticed her left eye was extremely swollen and red. I thought it was pink eye so I sent a message to the school that night which no one responded or called me. I wanted to let everyone know so that others may not get infected. My husband called the next morning to inform them since no one reached out from the school. I took my child to the doctor on 06/20/2023 to get checked out and the doctor confirm that it may not be pink eye but to keep watch; her eye was very swollen and it looked like she may have gotten hit in the face. My husband then spoke with someone again at the school to look at the cameras and that we can have access to the cameras and that someone would call me. No one ever call me so I physically had to go to the school and re-explain wheat happened to the front desk which she said she saw the message but failed to reply. So you all allow sick kids to come to school??? I spoke with someone sitting at the front desk and we went back to the classroom to speak with Miari and she then said well 2 kids in the classroom had pink eye!! I was not aware and nor was the school director! This is an extreme violation of OSHA so I immediately removed my child from the school due to the lack of care and communication. The teachers don't even have access to Kids Reports, which sucks! At Primrose, which we are going back to now, allow open communication between the parents and teachers. I literally have to call the school and ask every day to send pictures of my child to ensure she is ok. Primrose always keeps me updated and send loving messages about my baby girl and ensures that she is loved and being treated well. I would not recommend this school for the academics or structure but they are the cheapest I've seen and that probably why they have so many downfalls bc its a "cheap" school. I'm worried everyday about my child even eating. They are so short staffed they weren't even able to feed my baby solids bc they were "too busy". No parent wants to come and pick their child up from school and hear things like. she was fussing all day or she didn't sleep, better yet does she throw up all the time??? Invest in your employee' s knowledge and communication styles. I will never come back nor recommended this school to anyone. I had no choice but to report this school to OSHA since no communication went out about children being contagious. They don't even wear masks or uniforms to shield any allergens her from the children that maybe carried from outside at this school. 4 weeks wasted. Please go to Primrose.

The teachers truly love my children as if they were their own grandchildren or children, which means so much to me. The director is a grandmother herself, and you can really see how her high standards reflect what everyday care should look like. I also appreciate that the food is fresh every day and catered in. Additionally, notifications about illnesses are sent out in a timely manner, which I really value as a parent.

My son comes home with new bite marks, diaper rash and soiled diapers that's been sitting so long the feces is dried onto his butt. The teachers are inattentive. LOW QUALITY childcare. New leadership came in around June if last year and completely drove this place into the ground further. The owner cares only about making money, not about making sure your kids are cared for using the tuition you pay. I understand there are many schools with wait lists and as a parent we are limited with options - I'd recommend you advocate for your child and don't let the leadership here bully you into silence if you must attend here. Also, they have a coming soon sign out front that is tacky and I'm not sure how the HOA hasn't had them take it down. Such an eye sore and obviously they've been open for years now.

I am beyond disappointed with the way this daycare treated my son and his mother. From the very…read morebeginning, we were completely transparent that our son has autism. We were repeatedly assured by the director/owners that they had the experience, resources, and tools to work with children like him. Those assurances are the reason we trusted them with our child. Instead of working with us when challenges arose, my son's mother was called twice in one week to pick him up early. The second time she arrived, she was told our son was being expelled because they "couldn't deal with him." She was never given anything in writing, offered a meeting, or given the opportunity to discuss a plan to help him succeed. She even offered to bring in an additional teacher to provide support for our son, but the daycare refused because they did not want an outside teacher in their facility. Rather than work together to find a solution, they chose to remove our son from their program. What is even more disturbing is how the owners treated my son's mother. They got in her face and spoke to her in an aggressive and confrontational manner in front of our son. No parent should be treated that way, especially in front of their child. The interaction was recorded. As parents, we expected compassion, professionalism, and a genuine commitment to the children they care for. Instead, we were left feeling blindsided, disrespected, and heartbroken. If your child has special needs, I strongly encourage you to ask detailed questions about what support they actually provide and how they handle behavioral challenges before trusting them with your child.

WORST DAYCARE IN FORNEY!!!…read more I am writing this review to share my deeply disappointing experience with Children's Lighthouse Day Care. My 21-month-old son was enrolled there, and the treatment we received was not only unprofessional but also indicative of a lack of genuine care for the children under their supervision. Lack of Understanding and Communication: Initially, we were contacted by the daycare requesting a parent-teacher conference because our son was climbing on tables and opening the classroom door. As parents, we understand that toddlers exhibit exploratory behaviors and grow at different paces, something that any qualified childcare provider should recognize. My husband responded immediately, expressing his availability for the conference. However, we were told that their director was unavailable that week. It is baffling to me that they could not proceed with the conference without the director or at least reschedule promptly. Abrupt and Unjustified Dismissal: On a Monday June 3 2024, we dropped off our son as usual. Within less than two hours, we received a call requesting to come and pick him up and informing us that our son was being dismissed because he continued to open the door and pull the blinds. This was the same behavior we had been willing to discuss and find solutions for, but instead, they chose to expel a 21-month-old without any prior warning or opportunity to work as parents and teachers involved in a child's development. The daycare is starting summer activities this same Monday ( June 3 2023) with many other kids attending the program. It appears that, overwhelmed by the influx of children for the summer program, they decided to dismiss our son immediately to prioritize the new arrivals. This clearly shows their priority: money over the well-being of the children they are supposed to care for. Questionable Priorities: It became evident that the daycare's primary concern is financial gain rather than the well-being of the children. Their focus on managing numbers rather than nurturing individual children, especially those who may require a bit more attention and understanding, is disappointing. Poor Teacher Conduct: The behavior of the staff is also a matter of concern. Amy, a staff member we spoke to on the phone, placed us on hold without any notice and transferred the call to the director without informing us. When we finally spoke to the director, she was very dismissive of anything we said, showing no empathy or willingness to address our concerns. The teachers exhibited a lack of kindness, care, and understanding. As parents, we expect educators to be patient, loving, and supportive, particularly in a daycare setting. Unfortunately, the teachers at Children's Lighthouse Day Care fell short of these basic expectations. Children's Lighthouse Day Care wasn't like this when it started four years ago. The then director was very nice and willing to sit and talk about your child's growth and progress with parents. You sit at home and know your child is feeling at home at the daycare. The class teachers were nice as well, showing genuine care and commitment. This has drastically changed, with the current staff and administration displaying a clear lack of the qualities that made the daycare a good place initially. I frequently noticed that my son's nose was always dirty when I picked him up. Additionally, when we dressed him in a sweater in the morning because it was cold, the staff didn't bother to take it off when it got hot outside. This lack of attention to such basic needs shows a complete lack of empathy and basic human care. I usually do not write reviews, but I feel compelled to share my experience to help other parents make informed decisions. A friend of mine who toured the daycare few weeks back had advised me to look for alternatives, noting the inadequacies she observed. I regret not heeding her warning as the daycare's convenience and proximity to our home blinded us to potential issues. I strongly advise parents to reconsider enrolling their children at Children's Lighthouse Day Care. Their handling of our situation was unprofessional and demonstrated a lack of genuine care for children. Save yourself the heartache and find a daycare that truly prioritizes the well-being and development of your child.

I'm not sure what her problem is but it's clear from the reviews on here and google she needs to do some self reflection. My children stayed 3 days. That was enough for me!

To start, all the kids are in one room (ages that I've seen 6mnths to 4yr olds). The daycare…read moreadvertises its operating hours are from 6:30 am - 6:30 pm. Several mornings she (the owner) showed up to open the daycare late with no reason. She will call you to come pick up your child early if the child is the last one there or to pick up your child if she has something to do and needs to close the daycare early. She finally hired another teacher so things got a lot better, but you still must deal with the owner because she would be there in the morning. She gave the parents a 2 weeks' notice that the daycare would no longer be a "store front" and will turn into a home daycare. The home daycare was supposed to start on 4/29/24 (please keep in mind that you pay a week in advance. I paid on 4/26/24 for the week of 4/29/24). On 4/27/24 at 7pm at night she informed us that the daycare wouldn't be opening on Monday because they couldn't get movers because of the storm and that we would receive a credit, but the daycare would open on Wednesday. I NEVER RECEIVED A CREDIT. Then on Tuesday she informed us parents that the daycare wouldn't open until Monday because they couldn't get an inspection because the daycare wasn't fully set up. She then turned the phones off and LIED and said it was on the charger when I messaged her on the Remind me App, but for days I would call trying to get an update and it would go straight to voicemail. Please keep in mind that I was trying to get clarification on when the daycare was going to open because I am a single parent with not help and I needed to try to find help to watch my daughter while I work and I didn't want to find someone to watch my daughter and pay them and still be obligated to pay Coopers Cottage because she's still enrolled there and by the policy you are required to pay weekly and give a two weeks' notice. You can't just take your child out and if you do then you will have to still pay for two weeks. Weeks passed and I called, and the phone rang but she messaged me on the Remind app stating that she was on a call. I put in a two weeks' notice as per the policy and asked for a refund for services not rendered for the week of 4/29/24. She didn't respond to my message. I followed up a week later and let her know that I requested a refund via Venmo since she hadn't responded to my initial message and again no response. On 5/21/2024 I messaged her about her unprofessionalism, and she blocked me from messaging her on the Remind app and called me aggressive. I have never been aggressive. In fact, one day she asked why I was upset in April because she called me mid-week to come pick up my child because she was closing at 2pm because the other teacher was in the hospital sick, and she had to do something. The following week she said the daycare had no power at 7:30 am (I assume she had been there since at least 6:30am and could have notified the parents at 6:30 am before they sat in traffic and drove all the way to the daycare). And that's when I expressed to her how every week it's something and I have a job and I'm tired of paying for services and not ever receiving a full week of proper care without being called to come get her early since the end of January. Now she's lying and saying I've been difficult to deal with, and I'm aggressive and that's why she hasn't responded. I told another parent weeks ago that I wouldn't leave a bad review even though the services suck, but I wouldn't recommend it if anyone ever asked because as a single parent this was one of the affordable daycare options, I understand and that's why I tried to stick it out. The daycare is nasty, my child was a crawler for months and would always have black stuff all over her shoes and clothes. My child would come home with a dirty face and nasty diapers until I brought it to their attention because twice, she came home with dried feces on her clothes and shoes, but her diaper had no feces. Brandi Jones the owner is unprofessional & 0 out of 10 DO NOT RECOMMEND.
