What Parents Say
Little Lighthouse Head Start Center receives mostly positive reviews praising staff warmth, communication, and care for children with diverse needs. However, two negative reviews raise serious concerns about staff-to-child ratios, supervision, safety incidents, and accountability.
I have to say my kid loves Ms. Lily and the daycare. Ever since she started, the only thing that she talks about is her teacher and her classmates (other kids). About the staff, they are very welcoming and communicating through the app. Now my kid will go to regular school, my kid will miss her teacher!
My kids have been going to the Warwick center for about a year now and I truly love this daycare center , I enjoy all of the staff they are all amazing . But I would like to take a moment to appreciate Justice , he’s seriously the best teacher/person to my children . He takes the time out of his busy day to take interest in my children . My son is autistic and my daughter has a speech delay , the workers accept my children with open arms and for that i will forever love this center ❤️ HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Just wanted to share my experience with Little ligth House Care. At Warwick I honestly do not recommend the place as they take on so many children with very little staff. The ration is 8:1. I feel that it's not a safe environment for any children in there as they are not well looked after. In the very short period of time I took my son in there on his second day he was biten by unruly child. To make matters worst that same child did it again the next day and bit my son twice on the same day!. You would have thought that the staff will pay extra attention. The staff are not very attentive to the children as on the very short period I've been there to pick up my son the staff are far more attentive to their cellphones as oppose to watching the children. Unless you want your child to be abuse by another child who's aggressive and ill mannered then it's the place to be. I understand that some incidents are inevitable, but for such things to occur two consecutive days that's purely negligence. I received the report via phone app. The staff even failed to inform me in person and when I asked why I wasn't informed the staff told me " I forgot to tell you " I forgot to tell you? That statement alone shows that they don't take the matter seriously and don't take accountability.
My kids have being with the Warwick location for 2 years now, I’m so grateful for everything they do for my kids. Thank you so much for keeping Judah, Isaiah and Sabina happily entertained, loved, and cared for during the day. Justice, I appreciate you for all you do, for putting my son on the bus and picking him up daily. You’re Absolutely gifted with the heart of a gold. Thank you
My daughter has been going here for about 9 months and she loves it. She is 2½ and the center has been great. I love how they update on the app throughout the day to keep me updated about her activities (eating, napping etc) and also posting photos of her doing arts and crafts. I definitely recommend.
