Our Story

Integrity
Passion
Excellence
These are the core values at Children's Lighthouse Early Learning Schools and have been since our founding more than twenty-five years ago.

When brothers Mike and Pat Brown opened the first Children's Lighthouse school in 1997, they were parents and uncles of several young children. They recognized the need for quality childcare that went beyond playtime and "baby-sitting." That's why, at Children's Lighthouse, our Brand Promise has been the driving factor in everything we do from the beginning.

Children's Lighthouse launched as one of the first early learning schools to focus on promoting character and values as a cornerstone of early education. By investing in the whole child, Children's Lighthouse grew into one of the nation's leading early education childcare organizations. More than twenty-five years later, our passion to serve children and families still motivates us to strive for excellence in every aspect of our organization. As a result, Children's Lighthouse continues to be a top-tier early learning and childcare provider.
