Our son has been attending Lighthouse Daycare for the past 2 1/2 years. Our son started in Toddler 2 and now is in Preschool classroom. He will be 4 years old in the upcoming fall and we couldn’t be more grateful for the experience he’s had. From the moment we enrolled him, we felt welcomed and supported. When we first moved to Dedham, the daycare was under the leadership of a different director who was great, but the transition to the current director has taken things to an even higher level. The new director, Tina Merner is truly exceptional—she goes above and beyond to ensure every child’s needs are met, and it shows. She will notice if our son likes things in particular and purchase the toys/ items for our son, once item arrives our son gets so excited like he’s opening gifts on Christmas. We appreciate the little things that Tina does for our child. Her dedication, communication, and creativity are evident in everything she does. Tina is always putting her best foot forward and keeps the children engaged with fun and educational monthly activities, especially during summer break. The teachers are attentive, nurturing, and clearly care deeply about each child. I notice that when I am doing drop-off’s or pick-up’s when I walk past the classrooms. Moreover, the teachers are always open to listening to parents feedback or concerns. If parents have a suggestion or want certain things done a certain way, they take it into full consideration. As parents, we are trusting someone else with our children everyday and Lighthouse proves our children are in great hands. We feel not only that our son is safe at Lighthouse, but that he is genuinely learning and thriving. We especially appreciate the Brightwheel app, which allows us to stay in constant communication with the staff and see real-time updates about our son’s day while we’re at work. We can sign in&out, send messages, see pictures of our child while at daycare —it’s such a comfort and joy. We can’t thank the directors and teachers enough for the amazing work they do every day. Lighthouse has given our child a strong, happy foundation, and we are so thankful for the positive environment they’ve created. Thank you for everything!
My son has been attending this daycare since he was 10 months, and I like it a lot. I love to see how interactive the teachers are with all the children, as well of the activities the children get to partake in. All the teachers are kind, attentive and take care of the children with as much attention to detail. The updates that I receive on the Brightwheel app give me a sense of peace, by seeing picture updates of my baby as well as his naps, feeding times, and potty times. I definitely recommend this place feels like a home for my baby outside of home.
I have been so happy with the education and community offered by Lighthouse. Both of my children attend daycare there; I’ve gotten to see the high quality of care provided from the infant rooms all the way up through preschool. Lighthouse staff are kind and communicative and were a huge part of my older child’s success in potty training. The summer programming has a more camp-like atmosphere than the school year programming which has been so much fun! My preschooler has especially enjoyed soccer at Lighthouse. I highly recommend checking them out. The families are supportive and inclusive and the staff really can’t be beat! I will be so sad when my children age out.
Our son , who is 3, has been attending Lighthouse since he was four months old, and now, our younger son, who just turned one, is also enrolled. As a parent, trusting someone with your child is a significant decision, and we couldn't be more grateful for the exceptional care both our children receive. Both of my sons adore their teachers, and even interact and love teachers who aren't directly in their class. It truly feels like a family environment, where everyone treats our boys as their own. The communication from the staff is outstanding, and they are always available to address any questions or concerns. We love it here and 100% highly recommend it!!
Our family has had a wonderful experience at The Lighthouse ELC. The staff - Maureen (Director) and Marina (Finance Director) as well as all the teachers - are kind, caring, engaging, and incredibly hard working. All members of the staff have consistently gone above and beyond to help our son learn and grow though his infancy, with special attention paid to his socialization. We have felt like a part of a family at The Lighthouse, and felt that the staff saw and cherished our son as a unique individual. It is always hard to leave your child, especially an infant, in the care of others, yet we have always felt that he is safe and in good hands at The Lighthouse. Maureen and Marina are incredibly accommodating with scheduling and payments and always responded to any questions quickly and thoroughly, and I know they work long hours to do so! Thank you to The Lighthouse for an excellent first year for our son!
