My toddler loves this school and his teachers. Ms. Jordan is so amazing! She is great with my toddler and I love all of the little pictures and updates throughout the day. Everyone is so kind and supportive. Also the facility is super clean and the meals are a huge help for me.
We’ve been at Children’s Lighthouse for almost a year and have had a great experience. Excellent communication and very clean! When I was breastfeeding my daughter, during my remote work days I was able to go in during lunch and feed my baby. It was so nice to have the option to do this. They do cute crafts, outside play, and I get frequent picture updates in the app. They keep her clean and because of that, she’s only been sick a handful of times. If she gets dirty, they change her clothes too. We toured several other daycares but I’m so grateful we chose Children’s Lighthouse! If you are considering sending your child here, you won’t regret it!
Price assessment: Great price

This was my child's first preschool/daycare ever and the teachers and staff made the transition so smooth and easy for my child. My child's apprehension quickly dissolved into joy of going to school everyday.

We're so pleased to hear that your child's experience at Children's Lighthouse of Holly Springs has been filled with joy and ease. Thank you for sharing, Devon!
I would never recommend this daycare to any parent. After just a few weeks, my child came home dirty every day. His clothes were stained, his hands and face were not washed, and several times his diaper had clearly not been changed for hours.<br><br>The classroom often smelled bad, the toys looked dirty and sticky, and it was obvious that the facility was not cleaned properly. Basic hygiene standards did not seem to be a priority.<br><br>What upset me the most was the way some of the staff treated the children. They frequently raised their voices, ignored crying children instead of comforting them, and seemed impatient and uninterested in the kids’ well-being.<br><br>After attending this daycare, my child became anxious, cried every morning before drop-off, and had trouble sleeping. As a parent, this was heartbreaking to see.<br><br>I deeply regret trusting this daycare with my child. There are much better and safer places for children, and I would strongly advise other parents to look elsewhere.
Conveniently located very nice preschool.<br>A happy & safe place for our kiddos.<br>Staff is very professional and we love them. The building is newly built with all the latest features and amenities. The administration is always readily available and very cooperative too.<br>Thank you!!
