All of our teachers have been so wonderful and patient with our son. We are consistently seeing his skills improve as well.

We had nothing short of a stellar experience with Lighthouse Raleigh while our son was there. We toured many schools in the area and the facilities were clean, but warm and inviting, but most of all, the authenticity and caring nature of the staff made the REAL difference which made for an easy choice. Whats more, the monthly tuition was actually lower than other less-than-stellar options we saw. Unfortunately, a move precipitated a school change but our little man always asks to go back and visit - he misses his teachers and remembers them fondly. Thank you and keep up the great work!

The communication is on point, and the staff is very professional. The curriculum is fantastic and my child was more than prepared for kindergarten. The facility is very well run, and very clean. Highly recommend.

Our children have had a great experience at Childrens Lighthouse and have learned so much! The teachers are enthusiastic and caring and they definitely communicate with the parents on a very regular basis, which I have heard is a huge plus compared to other centers. Our children have thrived. We are constantly impressed with all they are learning and we also feel like the owners/directors do take our feedback seriously if change is needed.

We have two children at Lighthouse - a toddler and infant. While teacher turn over has been high in the toddler rooms, the directors and owner are doing their best to find good, stable, and consistent teachers. Communication regarding teacher changes could always be better, but after touring several other daycares, high teacher turn-over is an on-going problem within the daycare setting and a situation that Im hoping is temporary as Lighthouse grows with experience. Regardless, our toddler loves going to “school” each day and is eager to come home and tell us all about the fun things she’s been doing! She especially loves the “music lady” who plays guitar for the class, yoga, and the outdoor playground.We have been extremely pleased with the care our infant has been receiving in the infant 1 room. The teachers are kind and caring and truly care about taking care of our baby. They update the app almost immediately with all cares given and send several pictures during the day. Our baby is happy, loved, and well rested and we couldn’t be more pleased!The camera app is awesome. After touring several day cares, I noticed that the cameras weren’t always included. It’s nice to be able to check in several times during the day to see the kids.

We have been extremely pleased with our experience at Childrens Lighthouse! The owners/admin/staff work so hard to provide a fun, educational, and safe environment for the kids. Our kids have learned so much and love going every day! The staff is caring, attentive, and diligent and the center itself is extremely well-kept and clean! Our kids love the food that is served and the extra classes each week. We are so happy at Lighthouse!

Great place. Clean. Professional. Teachers are very friendly and invested in the well being of the children. My daughter has been going there for 2 years and her learning skills and vocabulary is very impressive. I am very happy with Childrens Lighthouse.

We were looking around for daycares for our 5 month old son and chose Children’s Lighthouse for the convenience and how nice everyone is. Our infant 1 teachers have given our son attentive care and any feedback we gave in regards of his care they have done their best to their ability. I have to keep in mind that there are 7 other babies they have to take care of also. I love receiving photos throughout the day and the ability to peek into the classrooms via their cameras. Also I love bringing home the little art projects they have. They are cute little mementos.

I love how structured each day is, yet the kids get time to explore new things and play outside. The teachers are wonderful: knowledgeable, caring, and kind. I really appreciate the access to musical instruments, dance, yoga, Spanish, and arts and crafts. As a teacher myself, my childs education and social and emotional well-being is of utmost importance and this school does an excellent job.

We have an older infant (11mo) and a 4 year old here. The teachers are great and very engaging. Our kids both really enjoy going to school. As with every daycare turnover happens however I feel like the directors and leadership have done a good job replacing them with qualified people. We love the outdoor space, music classes, yoga, etc. any concerns I have had have been addressed and worked through. We are very happy we chose CLH

Childrens Lighthouse has been nothing short of fabulous to work for these past 6 months. When I was on-boarded, I had only interned in other places, but the management teams made sure to walk me through everything I needed to know about becoming a teacher! Naturally, everywhere you go, there will be things that some people on the team enjoy more than others, but they really do a great job at accommodating to the best of their ability! Supplies are just a request away and I truly see myself here for a significant amount of my career as a teacher! Thank you Childrens Lighthouse for believing in me when I didnt believe in myself!

My daughter went through both toddler 1 & 2 classrooms at this facility until we relocated back in July. At times when I had concerns I felt I was listened to with respect and compassion and they would work with me to try to find the best resolutions for everyone. They pay more attention to cleanliness here than at her old daycare. The teachers are loving and send updates frequently throughout the day. The cameras helped ease my mind and made me more comfortable. There was quite a bit of turn around with teachers and administration, but when we first started here the facility was still fairly new so I imagine things were still being shaken out.

We have been with Lighthouse since they opened last year. The owners are committed to providing a place where teachers, children, and families can flourish. They invest in quality in every aspect of the center - teachers, facility, food, etc. The center is growing and that can present challenges, but feedback is taken seriously and addressed in a timely manner. This is our 3rd daycare, and is by far the best. There is also a parent advisory committee that parents can get involved in which is great!

Absolutely LOVE Childrens Lighthouse. We have had our son in the Infant 1 room for almost 2 months and have had only good experiences. The facilities are first class and the teachers are very attentive and accommodating to day to day requests on feeding times, nap schedules, etc. based on how our son is doing. The facility leadership has been very open to suggestions and comments and seem focused on creating the very best environment possible.

Our son is in the infant 1 classroom and we are so pleased! We love Ms. Amanda and Ms. Airelle. They are both so caring and thoughtful. They are so attentive. They are always receptive to change-since babies never seem to have the same schedule twice. Their main concern is a happy baby and I love that. They have story time and music time-our son enjoys both! We also really appreciate the safety features of the center. We like the individual code to enter and the encouragement to not hold the door, even though it is polite. Security over courtesy.

We moved our children to Childrens Lighthouse on Leesville Rd about 5months ago. My 4 yr old daughter LOVES her Class-9 teacher, and my 3 yr old son has been doing great in Class-7. We are very happy with the management and communication. Also, the food that is served to the kids is AMAZING! Big kudos to the chef :)

We love CLH! Our almost 9 month old daughter always has a great day! Her teacher Ms. Kim, is beyond attentive to each childs individual needs and always plans her classrooms activities with as much hands on learning! Weve noticed our daughter reach multiple new development milestones recently in the past few months, and we contribute that to the hard work of her teachers shes had! We are beyond grateful!

My son is in the APK program and it has been such an amazing experience! His teachers are wonderful and know what it takes to care for a classroom full of 4/5 year olds. They are aware of where these children need to be academically and I am fully confident that they will help my son be ready for kindergarten next year. I 100% recommend this school for your child. 😊

Weve been very happy with Childrens light house. When we were looking to transfer our kids to a different daycare around the leesville area (there were 3-4) it was obvious that CLH is a cut above the rest. The teachers are great and we know they really care about our kids. One time my wife was watching our kids using the surveillance system and she had a question, she put it in the app and the teacher answered within 1 hour.

My son goes to Childrens Lighthouse part-time and I could not be more happy with this daycare. My son is excited to go to school and talks about his teachers all the time . He has learned so much in just a few short months and continues to learn every time he goes. I get detailed daily reports, classroom announcements and pictures all the time. I highly recommend this school to any family . :)

We initially shopped about a dozen local day care facilities but decided to go with Childrens lighthouse. We have had our infant son in daycare there for a couple months now and we are very pleased with not only the level of care that he receives but the professionalism of the staff. The facility, being brand new, is wonderful and all of the classrooms and building itself are kept very clean. All of the staff is quick to greet both us and our son with a smile when he arrives and its a nice touch when they send home little craft items like painted feet prints for our scrapbook. I cant think of anything worrisome about the level of care provided here. The facility had a few bugs to iron out (ex Front door was broken for a day) when they first opened up but nothing that we deemed concerning. All of those have sorted themselves out and from drop off to pick up it is a very very smooth process.

My son started going to Children’s lighthouse in September and I couldn’t be happier with my choice to send him here. He looks forward to going in the morning before school and does’t want me picking him up “tooooo early” in the afternoon. He’s teachers are wonderful with him and all the other children in his class. They’re the best.

My daughter has been going to childrens lighthouse for about 3 months. Within 1 week everyone knew her name and says hi every morning and evening. They make her feel so special and we love it! She really likes the spray ground, yoga and special activities each week. I like the webcams and can check in on her daily, I watch the teachers spend time with her on an individual level. We love it!!! So glad we switched daycares! Thank you!

As a teacher here, I have seen first hand how awesome this center is. The environment is one of a kind where the children are given the opportunity to grow intellectually, socially and emotionally.

Our children have been at Lighthouse for a year now after previously being at a different daycare nearby. My husband and I were tentative about switching daycare; we were pretty unhappy with the daycare we were at, but feared they would all be the same and we would have moved our kids away from their friends just to be unhappy somewhere else. This has not been the case at all. We have not had a single regret about switching daycares. The front office/admin team are very friendly and professional and are always quick to answer any questions we have. They seem to really support their teachers as well, which is huge in helping keep turnover low. The food provided is nutritious and they have a great variety over the month. My kids love Mr. Dan (the chef)! The teachers have all been great – we have loved every teacher that our kids have had while there. The teachers all seem happy to be there and are very welcoming to all of the kids (my older child has even told me how much he loves his teachers – which every parent wants to hear, just maybe not in response to the parent telling the child that you love the child!). My children have learned so much at Lighthouse that we have no doubt they will be ready to excel in elementary school. My oldest will be starting Kindergarten this fall and can already read, write, is doing amazing with math. Every week both of our kids are so excited about what they are learning in school and we love to see the crafts/projects/experiments that they are doing as part of that week’s theme. The weekly dance, yoga, and music is also a big hit with my kids. The facility is very clean and I love the ZONO machine they have. While children do get illnesses there, as any daycare does, they seem to pass quickly without the whole class/school getting infected. My kids have been sick much less since switching. There has been some turnover but it has been very minimal (nothing like the daycare we came from) and it is well communicated. Communication is something that was important to me when we were thinking about switching daycare and Lighthouse has not let me down! If you are just starting out your daycare search or are thinking about switching, Lighthouse has been great and I am confident you will not regret your choice!

We switched our kids to CLH 8 months ago. My little one enjoys the music class and my older kid loves yoga. I very much appreciate how they value parent involvement and we look forward to school events, especially regular conferences and enrichment showcase. I can see the admin trying their best to reduce teacher turnover, but we have been fortunate in our classrooms - my kids have had the same teachers since starting! I know my kids love their teachers and I see the teachers are caring and nurturing. I have been getting the support I need with regards to transitioning my children into new routines/practices. Since the beginning, I have seen transparency and open/prompt communication with teachers and staff. The only wrinkle Ive experienced so far was when the director left - my child was to move up pre-birthday but didnt anymore; they worked with us though to make sure my kid didnt get bored and was still reaching individual milestones.

We couldnt be happier with the facility, the staff, the curriculum and most importantly the smile on our daughters face when we drop her off and pick her up. All of her teachers have been amazing and we leave there each day knowing shes in great hands!

Our beautiful daughter spent the first 13 months of life raised by her grandmother in our home so we had very high expectations when finding a school for our daughter. Childrens Lighthouse was the 10th and final facility in the area that we visited and interviewed and they passed with flying colors! There was no shadow of doubt that this is where we should send our daughter because the comfort & trust was simply there from the very beginning. Everyone from the owners, directors, teachers and even the cafeteria staff were simply the best upon arrival - and the communication, transparency and support the last 8 months has been very consistent to our very first tour. I appreciate the responsiveness from leadership and the best love & care from Ms. Samaiya and Ms. Tierra to our little lamb. The biggest testament to our satisfaction with the school is that we have since moved from the Leesville area and pass many centers on the way to dropping our daughter off and we believe that the extra commute, time and traffic is worth it to give our daughter the best of the best. Childrens Lighthouse has set the bar high for all other schools that we may encounter along this childhood journey! I cant imagine a better group to experience it with.
