We are overdue to leave a kind review for Lightway as both of our boys attended from ages 1-3yo and 3m-18m. The teachers always made our boys feels so special and welcome and their needs were always met. This place has a wonderful family-feel to it and we always felt right at home with all teachers and staff. Lightway - you will always have a special place in our hearts. Thank you for raising our boys!!
We started our daughter here right when they opened and kept her there until she was needed to be transferred to the Sloan's Lake location and I cannot say enough good things about this daycare. The owner Claire is so hands on and knows every child and parent by name and has such good relationships with all the families. The staff was extremely caring, our daughter loved each of her teachers and enjoyed going here everyday. She's 4.5 years old now and still talks about it!
All the teachers are great. Our little one loves going to her daycare. The staff has always been respectful to us and worked with us to have our care needs met. And I love the pictures they send us everyday of our girl having fun.
Outstanding personalised care! Our daughter loves Lightway so much. Although she only attends 1 day a week, everybody is very familiar with her and cooperates for an optimal experience. Miss Elaine will go so far as spending all of nap time beside her, singing her back to sleep as needed. We have tried other places, but this outshines them all. Great arts and crafts, strict Covid protocol, focus on Spanish language exposure. The outdoor yard is a tad small, but that should not matter too much at this young age. If anything, I would love to see more wooden toys, but washable plastic is more hygienic in these times, of course. The right fit for a child is a highly personal matter; Lightway scores lots of points with issues that matter to all parents.
We have been clients since they opened this location. We have had ZERO problems and we are very happy. I feel happy every day that I drop my son off knowing that he will be loved and cared for. They also have an online camera I can login to and see what my little guy is up to. It brightens my day every time! Thank you Lightway!
