I love this school and my son has literally blossomed in the 2 months he has been here! Such an…read moreamazing staff, so helpful and informative for parents like us who are so new to early learning centers/daycares. My son has been at home with dad for 3 years so all of this was very new for my family. When I first called to get information about the school it was just a wonderful conversation! Desiree was so patient with all the questions and concerns I had, such a different experience from any other place I reached out to who just seemed to be annoyed with all my questions I had. Needless to say the entire staff helped make this new transition for us all so easy and helped us every step of the way and we couldn't be happier with our decision!

My 4 year old started stepping stone in March of 2024 when I decided to return to work. It was the…read moreonly daycare with availability I felt comfortable sending him to in the area. When I came to make the initial payment and the director asked if I wanted to meet his teacher I of course said yes. We went outside where the kids played and I was excited to see who he'd be with all day. Mind you, this was to be his first time ever being away from me. His teacher was young, and looked super uninterested in talking. She said hi with what I couldn't even consider a smile, and didn't say much to my son. At drop off his first day the morning teacher didn't say much either. She didn't really offer any assistance when I was trying to leave and my son was visibly scared and upset. This went on for the weeks he was there. I did not like the staff member who hung out with the kids until his teacher showed up. She said good morning and that's about it. Towards the end I think she could tell I was irritated and offered my son things to keep him occupied while I left. My overall feel was these "teachers" don't like being there. I did not like this environment. When The lighthouse opened we made the switch and it was night and day! My son was SO EXCITED for daycare because the staff is AMAZING! I got constant updates, I don't have to ask for his meals to be updated through the day, he was engaged, the teachers are engaged and happier. I would never suggest Stepping stone to anyone.

I wouldn't pay attention to *Brittany* or even *Gabby*. Brittany obviously had a bad day and…read moredecided to shame complete ANGELS at Stepping Stone Plum Creek. My daughter can swim, knows mandarin, Spanish, sign language, English, dances ballet and goes to soccer all at stepping stone. THANKS to Priscilla who does a fabulous job running the place. Those including Ms. Kristi and Ms. Madison step their game up and I can't believe Brittany could be so judgmental based on two random experiences. She probably sent the email to the wrong location and I'm grateful she's still in school. Hopefully, it will teach her how to treat herself with respect so she can share that quality with others. *Gabby* - accidents happen. One of my kids bit another kid many, many times - like chewed on him - when another caregiver accidentally looked away for just a few minutes. I was so embarrassed and felt so bad for the other kid and the other mom. It could have been blown WAY out of proportion, thankfully it wasn't and it was years ago. Attacking women put on this Earth to protect and defend our little ones while we are at work is shameful. These women, *Gabby* and *Brittany* remind me of a character on 2019, Addams Family Halloween Movie.

My biggest regret as a parent is enrolling my 2 year old daughter at Stepping Stone. I still feel…read moreguilty that I did not find another option. My daughter was at another daycare for two years that we loved! No issues and no incident reports. The 7 months she was at Stepping Stone were awful. Coming home with massive bruises from bites that staff did not notice. I repeatedly emailed but she kept being bitten by multiple children. We kept waiting for Children's Lighthouse to finish being built but it was hard as an educator who provides other people's children with a safe learning environment not to have a safe place to send my toddler. The last straw was her reporting to us a teacher hit her. Pulled her immediately. Ms. Brittany did not seem surprised when we told her of our concern.

Much like all parents we love our children emphatically and are amazingly attentive to their wants…read moreand needs. Much like all parents we want their environment to reflect that love and attentiveness. As a traveling military family we've encountered several educational platforms. Most all of them claim to provide a healthy mixture of freedom to promote creative expression while instilling strong social and academic standards. While we have enjoyed other platforms, none compare to the lighthouse. Our 2.5 year old daughter is very standoffish and slow to warm up to new enviroments. As a covid child she spends a majority of her time with her one sibling and appears to suffer from social anxiety. Our daughter was given the final say on whether she is comfortable there and her smile tells the story. Following the initial 10 days ,she lights up when we turn the corner into the parking lot. She skips as she enters the space. She greets the welcome committee at the door. She embraces both of her teachers (Bri and Megan). For a child appearing to suffer from social anxiety, this is a big deal for us. Obviously, they have an amazing curriculumn, obvioulsy they are clean and modernized. Obviously they are a secure inside and out. Obviously, they respect allergies and sensitivities. What isnt obvious is the intangible. Greeting you by name and actually remembering you is basic, they make it a point to get to know you, your child, their needs and their support group. It's genuine. You can feel it! Thank you for what you do. Bradley (Owner), Jenna (Director), Connie (Asst Director) Amber (Welcome Committee)

Our experience at Children's Lighthouse has been nothing short of amazing. The teachers here are…read moreexceptional, always going above and beyond to challenge my daughter and enhance her knowledge (even to the extent of moving her up a class early because her current class curriculum was not challenging enough for her). Janna, the director, truly has my child's best interest in mind and ensures a nurturing and supportive environment. Morning drop off is always a breeze with smiling faces and good mornings from all of the staff we see. The owner, Brad, runs a fantastic daycare that is well-organized, clean and safe. We have complete peace of mind knowing our daughter is in such capable hands. She thoroughly enjoys attending and is excited to go every morning. We feel so comfortable with her education here that we are confident there will be a flawless transition when she goes to kindergarten. Thank you to all of the staff we encounter every day for your dedication and care. We couldn't be happier with the care and education our daughter receives at Children's Lighthouse.

However, it was a task trying to find the gym bc of all of the construction going on at the school. It was unclear where the gym was at because the front of the school has another gym as well that was empty.
