Children's Lighthouse of Raleigh

My son began attending Children's Lighthouse in July of 2024, and we have had a great experience. Everyone greets us with a smile and teachers and staff all seem excited to see my son as he comes down the hall at drop off and pickup. He's in Room 3 now with Ms. Chelsea and Ms. Destinee and they have created such a positive learning environment. He seems excited to arrive every morning and is always greeted with big smiles and hellos. Children's Lighthouse as a platform does a great job of keeping us informed, including pictures and updates all day long that are the highlight of my day while I'm at work. Would highly recommend.

My son has been at Children's Lighthouse since March 2024, and we couldn’t be happier. Everyone knows my son's name, greets us with a smile, and his teachers are loving and invested. He’s now 2 years old and in Room 5 with Brittney and Key, and we adore them as much as he does. Sierra, Chelsea, Sam, and Desire have been wonderful along the way. Cammie, the director, is dedicated and hands-on in the classrooms. Erin keeps us in the loop, too, and the staff as a whole is always honest and eager to help. He is learning so much, including Spanish, and absolutely loves his arts/crafts, music, and outdoor time! Despite his recent separation anxiety, he never cries at drop-off and always lights up when we pull into the parking lot. Our recent move upped our commute time, but it’s worth every mile for such a safe, loving environment. If you are anxious about starting daycare, like I was, I assure you, your little(s) will be in great hands here.

As first time parents, we were anxious about putting our son in daycare, but we have been thrilled with our experience at Children's Lighthouse of Raleigh. The teachers in Room 1(Christina & Cortney) were incredible and super caring to our infant. As he have transitioned into Room 2, we have enjoyed watching our little guy grow and learn with the awesome teachers Amanda & Sam. Everyone in the building knows his name and says hello! Leadership is also very helpful and responsive. Shoutout Erin, Cammie & Sierra!

We love the Children’s Lighthouse of Raleigh! The facility is bright and inviting. Ms. Erin and Ma. Cammie are always there to greet us with a warm smile. Ms. Christina and Ms. Cortney are the best! They always are there with a smile and my son is comfortable being with them. As a first time parent sending my baby to daycare, they have made the transition so easy. They are super responsive and I feel at ease knowing my son is in the best care. All the staff is amazing! Everyone knows my son and is willing to help one another. It’s a fantastic community.

Our experience with Children’s Lighthouse was not what we had hoped. One of the biggest frustrations was ongoing billing issues—charges were inconsistent, and it was extremely difficult to get clear answers or timely responses from the office staff. Even after pointing out errors, we had to follow up multiple times to see any corrections. Another major concern was the constant staff turnover. My child had multiple teachers come and go within just a few months, which made it hard for them to form stable relationships or feel secure. It also raised questions about the center’s management and ability to retain qualified staff. I understand that no school is perfect, but basic consistency and transparency should be a given when you're trusting a facility with your child's care. Unfortunately, that was not our experience here.
