My four-year old son goes to Childrens Lighthouse. He's been there for the past two years. The Center is very clean and brand new. The Director and the teachers are very caring and take their job of caring for and educating my son seriously. They serve a hot lunch as well as have internet monitoring camera system. Overall, my wife and I have been extremely happy with our choice of Childrens Lighthouse.
