What people are saying about Lighthouse...
★★★★★
Daniel and Naimah
1st Grade Lighthouse Parents
"Our daughter (Virgina) is very social and any activity she can join for her grade she will join. She wants to be a part of the community. She attends the after care program because she likes to be with the kids and loves her teachers. We try to be a part of all of it, we painted the stage for Lion King because we know she wants to be involved and wants us to be involved. We are thankful for all of the opportunities Lighthouse offers for our daughter."

Leova Cuevas
22 year staff member,
Lighthouse Parent and Lead Food Server
“I enrolled my children at Lighthouse because it held the values I believed in and incorporated the expectations I needed… I initially started as a volunteer and after many hours of participation, I was later offered a position at the school.”
★★★★★
Lola Prieto
"There are families and employees who have been at Lighthouse for many years. They have created strong relationships among themselves and with the people who have watched their kids grow from five, to twenty-five. Some of the first students are now parents of current students, others are teachers trying to give back to this community. I am privileged to be part of this community, and every year that goes by I create new memories and strong relationships that make me feel like I am still part of the Lighthouse family."
