    Why Children’s Lighthouse?

    Our Story

    From day one, the mission of Children’s Lighthouse Early Learning Schools was built on one solid foundation: family. Today, as a leading educational childcare franchise dedicated to providing premium care and curriculum for infants, toddlers, preschool, and school-age children, that family-driven mission continues to guide every decision. As a second-generation, family-owned company, we never forget that every franchisee and every child are part of a larger family, and we are committed to helping those families prosper in a variety of areas.

    Unmatched Support

    Support is the key focus at Children’s Lighthouse. We have the lowest ratio of franchised locations per support person in the industry, and franchisees have direct access to the entire leadership team – a significant advantage.

    From site selection to daily operations, our experienced team is with you every step of the way, ensuring a smooth and successful launch. Our proven systems, ongoing training, and hands-on guidance empower franchisees to focus on delivering exceptional early education while building a thriving business.

    How Our Culture Stands Out

    Family-Driven Culture

    Our family-driven culture permeates our entire organization, ensuring that everyone — from our support team to our franchise owners — upholds the Children’s Lighthouse brand promise, foundational beliefs, and core values.

    Family-Centered Flexibility for Franchise Owners

    At Children’s Lighthouse, our family-focused culture is mirrored in our operational model, providing franchise owners with the flexibility to prioritize time with their families. With a dedicated Director managing day-to-day operations, owners can remain engaged in the business while enjoying a balanced lifestyle. This approach makes Children’s Lighthouse an ideal opportunity for those seeking meaningful involvement without sacrificing personal and family time.

    Building a Better Future

    Our educational programs serve as a guiding light for younger generations to achieve a brighter future. Our Lighthouse Pathways® approach to learning provides opportunities for individualized skill development, group learning, self-regulation, and inquiry-based investigation, with a focus on four key areas: Confidence, Connection, Continuous Improvement, and Curriculum.

    This website and the franchise investment information it contains do not constitute an offer to grant, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, a franchise. The offer of a franchise can only be made through the delivery of an FDD. Certain states require that we register the FDD. The states where the FDD is registered are listed in the FDD, and the information in this website is not directed by us to any states not listed in the FDD. We will not offer or grant franchises in states that require registration until we have registered the FDD (or have received an applicable exemption from registration) and have delivered the FDD to the prospective franchisees, in compliance with applicable law.
