I don't know why I'm shy about posting a review here, when I know I signed the release for my baby to be in any photos they post publicly! We sent our baby here since he was 3 1/2 months old. I loved the tour we took while I was pregnant, but it became a whole new emotional task to tackle feeling ok with infant care once we were dropping him off. After we saw him on the video and all the updates from his teachers on diaper changes, feedings, start and end times for his naps, I felt so much better. I'm SO glad that we kept him here ever since. He knows everyone and everyone knows him! He doesn't get separation anxiety here because he is so familiar with Lighthouse from such a young age. Ok he does get it when he moves up to the next classroom, but he gets a lot better after a week or so after he trusts the new teachers!! I read only a couple of studies on childcare and what makes it high quality is low staff turnover and with babies the same age. There are also the obvious things like their diapers are changed quickly and the facility is completely licensed and up to code. I saw their official recorded incidents and inspection results on the Texas childcare site. They had one small infraction and it was something minor to me, like a staff member forgot to make a toddler wash their hands before eating. I compared it to the results and incidents of other facilities in the area and it wasn't like any other facility had a sparkling clean record. It was good, actually, that there was something there. It means the inspection was done properly. This is becoming quite the blob of text! My point is that I love this childcare and that I've made a consistent environment for my child where he's growing, learning every day, and is loved and cared for by professionals, while I grow my own career. Update: We love it here. A friend who happens to have an in-home daycare had a spot open up and I hummed and hawed about it for a few days, but ultimately decided it's not worth the savings at this point. He needs school! He's learning so much there that we know we didn't teach him. 🥰
