Our experience that I have to share with other moms:…read more We enrolled our child in a Montessori school. The tour and discovery day were amazing -- kind staff, great atmosphere, and a beautiful curriculum. Our child felt welcome and had a great time, so we enrolled her and even paid for camera access. Once the real days started, everything changed. From day one, no one greeted her. The teacher looked unhappy, took her without saying a word, and told me to leave. My child cried all day and no one comforted her. The response was: "Teachers have many kids and can't give attention to everyone." The following days were the same. No real curriculum, kids wandering around, teachers on their phones, my child crying with no support. "Quiet time" was supposed to be 12-2, but kids were forced to lie in the dark from 11:30am to 2:30pm. When I questioned it, they said the teacher was "in the restroom" - for 3 hours?! My child started having meltdowns and didn't want to go at all. On the cameras I saw kids crying on the floor, being ignored, fighting with no adult help, and teachers being rude or disengaged. The manager admitted she knows the staff is bad and can't find better ones. Teachers said they don't have time for a curriculum, and the manager said "it's Montessori, there is no real curriculum" -- even though one was proudly shown during the tour. One day we picked her up and they were all watching TV. Another time babies were left crying with no one responding -- I ended up calming one baby because I couldn't ignore the crying. One evening at home, my child started hitting her own hand. When I asked why, she said: "The lady does it." We don't have a babysitter and it's only me and my husband, so I have no idea who she was referring to. We took our child out after a couple of weeks. I'm sharing this so other parents aren't fooled by tours and fake smiles. Trust your gut -- your child's emotional safety matters more than any school la

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.

Also making 2 little girls sit on hot concrete steps and then telling the worker it burns and her saying I DON'T CARE. Also using the same baby wipe to clean all the kids face and hands.

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!!!
