Lighthouse Pathways® Approach to Learning
Your Child's Path to Future Success Starts at Children's Lighthouse
Children's Lighthouse is committed to excellence in early childhood education. All children deserve a safe environment that allows them to be expressive and independent learners as they develop in their own learning style. Our Lighthouse Pathways® approach delivers such an environment by providing opportunities for individualized skill development, group learning, self-regulation, and inquiry-based investigation with a focus on 4 key areas; Confidence, Connection, Continuous Improvement, and Curriculum.
CONFIDENCE
We believe in:
  • Shaping confident, independent children through inquiry-based, hands-on learning.
  • Building positive interactions with highly-trained teachers.
  • Guiding each child as a dignified individual with their own unique set of passions, strengths, talents, and creativity.
CONNECTION
We believe in:
  • Being community stakeholders with strong relationships within our schools and the neighborhoods around us.
  • An emphasis on teamwork between school and home is paramount in developing healthy brains, bodies, and best behaviors in children.
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
We believe in
  • High quality early education provided by professionals who deliver learning experiences to meet the individual needs of each child.
  • Through exemplary character-building values taught in the classroom, our teachers model and instruct the importance of strong social emotional and communication skills.
CURRICULUM
We believe:
  • Our comprehensive proprietary curriculums provide a pathway from infancy to childhood to prepare children for the real world.
  • At each Children's Lighthouse Early Learning School, children are empowered to become independent and well-rounded individuals within their global communities.
CONSISTENCY
We believe that consistency for children is important, now more than ever, based on current research. Consistency supports brain connection and emotional stability in a more meaningful way for children. To provide emotional support and deepen each child's learning, Children's Lighthouse Early Learning Schools are committed to providing consistent classroom environments, schedules, learning opportunities, and teacher interactions.
