They are rude confrontational and unprofessional. I came to pick up my student as was greeted like I was inconveniencing them. Well her. I believe her name is Rachel Scott. No smile. Nothing pleasant. For one I stood at the window while she continued her conversation with the young custodian and when he told her I was there she looked at me didn't smile or greet me personally at all. For two She said what do you need and said give me your id. Then when I told her why I was there she said oh ok. Then just gave me my id back and said the student is over there. Turn around and went back to her desk. I was shocked. Completely unprofessional. I shouldn't be shocked beings she's treated multiple other parents the same way, my children's mother included. She really makes the office feel like your dealing with the county jail and not an elementary school. She really is the face of the school and what I dealt with wasnt very pretty.

We called in early March for availability for our infant and were told the soonest was May which worked perfectly with our timeline. We came in to tour and then coordinated a day to come in before our infants first day. We came in to do our orientation a week prior to the first day and Yaya seemed very confused when we came in and told us she "couldn't remember" what room our infant was placed into.. We were shown the classroom she would be in and were introduced to the teachers. We were told that she would have a cubby for all her items; however, on the first day of drop off she did not have a cubby or an area for her items. Not to mention I did not even recognize the teachers who were in the classroom with her. When I went to look for the items I dropped off, I found them items on the floor in a storage closet while other infants had their items neatly set up and put away. When we confronted the center they claimed "a label" is not a reflection of the care our child will receive and the excuse was "Erica" has been out for a week and they didn't know where our infant's stuff was so they couldn't set up her items properly. They had plenty of notice to prepare for our infant advance. It may just be a label but what it shows me they are unorganized, lack basic communication skills amongst their employees and if they can't properly store her necessities, they lack the ability to they take care of my child, it is 100% a reflection of the care my child will receive.

The staff and teachers are so wonderful and caring with my little one and the kids currently enrolled there. She is totally getting the developmental attention she needs. She gets to do arts and crafts, gets outside time, and has plenty of interaction with kids and adults. The teachers keep all your suggestions and comments in mind and will update you with information you would want to know (I want to know everything ;-) about my baby! haha). Since we both work it was important to find people we could rely on. So happy our baby is with trusting people and I would recommend LHLC to all parents!

I can wholeheartedly recommend Caughlin Preschool to any parent looking for a school that is going…read moreto genuinely care for their child. Our son started here as an infant, and not once did I ever question the love and care he was receiving. The staff and teachers are fantastic with very little turnover which allowed our son to foster and maintain strong bonds with everyone there from a very early age. It's a good sign when you pick up your kiddo, and they don't want to leave - we lost count of the days that happened very early on! They have great curriculum, we were shocked at some of the things he was coming home and saying or singing, and a fantastic outdoor playground for all ages that they went outside and played in every day. Cannot recommend them enough!

I am extremely disappointed with the care my child has received at Caughlin. My son has hearing…read moreloss in one ear, and since he turned two, this daycare has done nothing but discriminate against him due to developmentally appropriate behaviors and a minor speech delay that has improved dramatically. Despite providing them with extensive resources on how to care for a child with hearing loss, they refused to implement any of the suggestions or accommodations. This has only made my son feel like an outsider and a target, which is heartbreaking as a parent. The daycare's lack of empathy and understanding for children with disabilities is clear. My son was penalized for age-appropriate behavior like hitting and kicking, which he doesn't exhibit at home or with friends, and certainly not at Sunday school. This behavior, typical for his age just recently started within the last month. This behavior is age appropriate and was certainly not a continued issue. When asked about how it was happening they could only provide excuses about the teachers, other students and never answered my questions. The communication between teachers is abysmal, and the high turnover rate among staff only exacerbates the issue. There seems to be a lack of commitment to consistent care, and the owner, Joanne, seems to view children as dollar signs rather than individuals in need of genuine care and attention. Teachers are trained, but it doesn't seem to make any difference--there's little to no real progress in creating a nurturing environment. The classroom is chaotic, with 16 toddlers crammed into a small space, leaving no room for meaningful interaction or learning. It feels more like a fishbowl than a place for children to grow, and it is impossible for a child to thrive in this kind of environment. I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere for your child's care. There are plenty of other daycare facilities that are equipped to handle children with special needs or any kind of disability. (A handful of reviews have stated this regarding children with disabilities, learning delays or special needs) This place is just not the right fit and has made what should be a positive experience a stressful and disheartening one for both my child and myself.

We feel that the price was fair in what they do for the kids at school. Little lites has done well in the early education aspects of things to help prep our kiddo for school.

They informed the state that they "do not accept children with disabilities," which is alarming for any licensed program.

It's deeply troubling to see a school that promotes Christian values choose exclusion over compassion.

He's better behaved, communicating well and very happy. We are happy with the level of attention & education he receives and all the teachers are very loving. I only wish we could have started him there from the beginning and could continue on after kindergarten!
