I really loved taking my son to Little Lights every day. My family was enjoyed the care the teachers and management provided. The teachers are outstanding, warm, patient and have a lot of great experiences. It is under a new management, board and new teachers now. I still keep in contact with my sons old teacher. She is great!
Until this facility has a new board, a new director and new staff, I strongly recommend against attending this daycare center. They have lost children (left one on their playground, lost one in a public park that was returned to the group by a concerned citizen who then reported it to the police), have had allegations of physical and verbal abuse, have/had classrooms where the teachers have relationships outside of school that cause a dangerous environment where they have the ability to cover for one another (mom/daughter co-teachers, boyfriend/girlfriend co-teachers), are rude and insult the parents (a member of the board accidentally copied me on an email he meant to send to the director and the pastor that said I have a “history of whining” simply because I voiced my concerns to him when things got really bad), and have been on a provisional license twice in the past couple of years. While there are a special select few who are wonderful, many of the teachers made me very uncomfortable. There is much potential for a great childcare option in Carlisle, but in order to get there an entire overhaul needs to take place. We left the facility in March of 2020 because of the numerous issues there, but the same director and board are still there.
