Our class had biweekly parties to which parents needed to bring items constantly, and it's all fun, but in my opinion, it really takes away from learning. - I also forgot to mention how they created the "fundraiser" competition among classes to collect money for playground upgrades (like they barely meet the ends) and right after that announced that they are expending the school since they need more rooms due to demands. So I assume the playground upgrade was in its downsizing.

They encourage each child's development and work on a variety of skills that I didn't even think my daughter was capable of (sippy cups, independent feeding, etc). They do social meal/snack time, two circle times each day and "field trips" to the library! The staff is great at communicating both positive stories about her day and things my daughter needs. The administration is also very caring and highly knowledgeable! I love this school so much I've recommended it to multiple friends who are having babies and two have decided to put their daughters in the facility as well!

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.

We couldn't have made a better choice. As a family, we witnessed firsthand the immense benefits of Montessori education, and especially attending the MHFC. The teachers are highly qualified, and the entire staff is caring and welcoming. The Montessori experience instilled in our daughter a profound appreciation for the value of education. The learning habits she formed at MHFC made her successful and middle school and now in high school. Beyond academics, she gained exposure to different cultures, learned to respect and accept diverse opinions, and build friendships that will last a lifetime. Even after leaving MHFC, our daughter continued to stay connected. During school vacations, she returned to visit and help which classroom chores. Now in high school, she volunteers at MHFC, an opportunity the school gladly offered. This encouragement for alumni involvement reflects on the school's deep care for its students, long after they graduate. MHFC has had a tremendous impact on our lives, and we will be forever grateful to all the teachers and staff who make the school such a special place.

When I reached out to inquire about tuition--just to see if it was even within our budget--I was told that information was only available in person. As someone with a disability, that's a significant barrier. Attending a meeting in person takes a lot of energy and planning, and I didn't feel it was worth going through all of that just to find out if the school was even financially accessible. Accessibility matters deeply to our family, and I expected more flexibility and understanding. After several emails and phone calls with their administrative staff, I honestly felt like I was an inconvenience. The tone was dismissive and a bit snooty, which was disappointing. These aren't the values I'm looking for in a school community. I'm sharing this in case others--especially those with accessibility concerns--find this kind of approach to be a dealbreaker too.

My son was 2 years old in a class full of children his age and had been since he started. Once my son switched classes things changed. I was getting phone calls constantly. At times it began to feel like he was the problem. Around June I went to pick him up and he has a large bump on his head. When I asked no one knew how he got it. About a week before I stopped sending him he came home with a scratch on his lip. When I asked what happened I never received an answer and haven't till this day. My son was potty training and would go through underwear a lot. I ended up sending pull ups and letting them know to put him in one if he ran out of underwear or at nap. I really tried to be understanding because his teachers were doing the best they could. One day after my husband picked him up, I noticed my son had on a diaper. He hadn't worn a diaper since he was 18 months. When I inquired about this I never received an answer. At that point I felt like I was being ignored. This place started off good but they have entirely too many toddlers in one class. I would walk in to get my son and see stuff everywhere! My husband even stated he saw a pair of scissors left on a table. It was too overstimulating and in my opinion, not structured. Again, this is in no way to come at his teachers. They did their very best. Front office staff was okay but some of them could have done better in how they spoke to parents and the teachers. Ms. Johnson was probably the best person on that staff and had a beautiful personality and spirit! All in all, there are other good quality daycares/schools in the area. My son is at a new one and thriving! I hope this review is useful and helpful. I came from an honest place and wish things could have ended differently.

She was also super rude to one of the teachers and i just felt like this isn't the type of environment I want my kid in.
