### null review (5/5)

We've had a fantastic experience with Lighthouse ELC over the past four years. They took great care of our son, and the teachers were always warm and attentive. The owners are hands-on and genuinely caring toward both the children and the parents. We have some wonderful memories from the various day trips taken (photo from one of the amazing trips taken this year).

We highly recommend this daycare!

We’ve had our daughter at Lighthouse Early Learning Centre for the past 3 years and we’ve been so happy with the care she receives. The staff and management are genuinely friendly and approachable, and you can tell they really care about the kids.

We also love the regular updates through the app.  It’s so nice being able to see what they’ve been up to during the day and getting photos and little messages. It makes such a difference as a parent.

We’re really grateful for the support and would definitely recommend them.

Lighthouse is an exceptional preschool, with dedicated, attentive teachers, and warm and approachable owners. The team are very child-centred, and actively strive to provide for the needs and interests of each child. As a parent, I have appreciated the teachers' help with drop-offs, all the special little extras they have given my daughter (she has come home with beautiful new braids and hairstyles, nails done, face-paint), the art and craft projects that come home in the backpack, the daily photos on Storypark, the thoughtful learning stories written by teachers, the nutritious meals provided by the centre, and the prompt and friendly communication. The centre also runs events for families which are an annual highlight, like Father's Day BBQ night, Mother's Day evening, and the incredible Christmas Show. Kids are given birthday and graduation celebrations and really made to feel special. The centre feels like part of our family and we've always felt so welcome. Thank you to the Lighthouse team, our years with the centre will be remembered fondly and we will miss you!
