Children's Lighthouse of Parker

If you care about your child's well-being, do not send them here. The owners of this daycare are manipulative, controlling, and completely unfit to care for children. They use their authority to intimidate staff and parents alike, showing little to no genuine concern for the kids' well-being. Instead of fostering a safe and nurturing environment, they rule with fear, making irrational and selfish decisions that put children at risk.The level of unprofessionalism is astounding--ranging from blatant favoritism to emotionally abusive behavior. They refuse to take responsibility for mistakes and will gaslight parents into believing concerns are "misunderstandings" rather than addressing real issues. Their incompetence is only matched by their arrogance, as they dismiss feedback and retaliate against anyone who questions them.If you're looking for a safe, supportive place for your child to learn and grow, look elsewhere. This daycare is a toxic environment run by people who should not be in a position of power over children.

Hi,I would love to offer my own review as not only an employee and parent, as but as a previous member of administration. I cannot speak enough positive words about the teachers at this school. They walk into this building everyday with nothing but the best intentions for the each and every child in their care. The issue lies with the upper management skills and lack of compassion that the owners display for not only their teachers but the children that have been entrusted in their care. My family left this center in September and we are still receiving messages about how horrible both parties are being treated by the owners. They have repeatedly discriminated against parents that are receiving state assistance, and even disenrolled these children for "behavioral issues" that they continue to let slide for "full pay" families. They do not know the children's names in their care or even the teachers names after being repeatedly corrected by everyone. It is not because there are too many kids or staff to remember, it is simply because they view everyone in the building as either a deposit or a deduction from their bank accounts. They have repeatedly lied to state licensing officials and have told staff to do the same with indirect threats to their employment. They pay teachers bare minimum with the promise of much more when they raise tuition yearly, and not a dollar is seen by anyone but the owners. I would be absolutely remised if I did not warn other parents and teachers about the actual environment of this place behind closed doors. I have been threatened with a cease and desist when warning other parents who are looking for daycare options which is a obvious indicator that even they know something is wrong with the way they conduct their business. I would implore anyone looking for childcare to evaluate twice before considering this facility.

This is a terrible daycare. My daughter attended for almost the entire year of 2022. During that time, she had 10 lead teachers and countless assistant teachers. Oftentimes we'd arrive to drop her off and it'd be a new face on a daily basis. No one ever introduced themselves to us, and my daughter had no consistency, making her feel less comfortable being dropped off. My daughter needs help with drop off and during the entire time we were there, only a couple of the teachers would help - most of them stood back and let you try to get your child to interact with the other children. When she started getting older, they moved her to another classroom, but when they had staffing issues, they just moved my daughter from room to room without any communication with us. We'd arrive in the morning and never knew which room we were supposed to take her to. They'd then move her in the middle of the day multiple times, leaving us unable to see her on their camera system, and not knowing where to pick her up.We had several instances of arriving to pick her up and she'd have a poopy diaper, causing rashes. There were a few times the poop had been there so long that she was bleeding from the rash it had caused. The final straw for us was when we potty trained our daughter, it felt like we were working against the daycare. The first day after training, they took her out of the room with a toilet, moved her to the younger room, and put her back in a diaper. Every weekend we had to nearly re-train her because they weren't listening to her when she said she needed to go potty and they weren't giving her enough reminders. She'd come home having had at least 1 accident daily. She also went from LOVING going to the potty to it being a battle to get her to go. After just 3 days at home, she no longer has any accidents, indicating that they definitely weren't doing their part.In the 11 months we were with this daycare, there were 3 directors. The newest director Ashley really seems like she's trying to turn the place around, and I had faith in her for a long time. I just think this daycare is too far gone at this point. It just needs to be shut down.

we are very happy at this facility. our daughter is thriving here and we are grateful to have found a place we all love.

My name is Paris I was one of the employees at Children light house daycare and I just wanted to say I have never ever been in such a welcoming work environment and having such a caring team with students that will make you smile as soon as you walk into the room. This Job was an amazing experience and I love i got the opportunity because it was such a life changing experience it showed me what I would like to do in the future is to take on the roll of taking care of kids. Getting to go to work and be able to just non stop smile was amazing. A very big thank you to the owners for giving me this opportunity and giving me a chance. I also want to let everyone know that the owners have done a beautiful work for this daycare and it's amazing they are so understanding and welcoming and has done a great job on making a enjoying environment for not just the children but the employees as well.

We absolutely love this school! The best daycare/preschool in parker hands down. When I say the place is kept immaculately clean, it is CLEAN! The place itself is very secure and there is a whole process to checking in/checking out your kid. I have never once worried about safety here. The staff is amazing, everyone greats my baby by name every morning, even teachers that aren't in his class. My baby is currently in the infant room 2 with Erin being the lead teacher. I could go on and on about how much we love Erin! She is such a sweet soul and completely on top of it when it comes to these babies. Nothing is missed by her and she keeps an open line of communication through the app. That is another thing I love about this school, she never misses putting in a changed diaper, what my baby ate, activities, what they're learning. I know my baby is safe and loved with Erin and that is the most important thing to us! Could not recommend this school more, and if you have the pleasure of having Erin be your babies teacher you will not be disappointed!

I would highly recommend this daycare to anyone in need of childcare. Both of my nephews are enrolled here and the service and care has been the best I've seen. The staff is extremely friendly and communicative and the site itself is clean and organized. The director here was nothing short of understanding and flexible for me and my family and our situation. She has shown us kindness and care and my nephews have learned so much in their time here so far! If you're looking for a daycare where your family and children are valued and taken care of, look no further!

We love it here! Staff is friendly and clearly care about the kids, management is amazing and super communicative, and the building is clean. My kiddo loves it here and loves his class. I am so thankful we found a daycare where I feel that my child will be safe all day long.

Beautiful facility and can tell the new director really cares! Keep up the good work Nicole! I recommend giving new management a chance!

My son started in March of 2021. They have had three new center Directors since that time. The teacher turnover is frequent so he was constantly adjusting to a new teacher or being moved to a new room.With each new director comes new challenges and struggles with communication. Leaving messages and not getting called back is unacceptable. Tuition is increasing by $240/month for my one child. Glad we are moving in 9 weeks or else I'd be looking for new long term care. There are other options out there that are higher quality for the same price. Do your research. I don't like seeing my son watch an iPad when we pay a monthly mortgage for his tuition.
