Children's Lighthouse offers a range of benefits that set them apart from public preschools including smaller class sizes, allowing for more individualized attention and a closer relationship between teachers and students.
Private preschools, in general, often have more resources available, such as advanced technology, specialized programs, and enrichment activities. Curriculum Ideology. Standardized curriculum is state regulated written for basic development and needs of one, not many. Set curriculum allows little to no parent feedback or age-appropriate family integration. Small school size allows for administration to have more knowledge of your child.
Limited resources and facilities. Campuses are large and designed to meet the needs of elementary-age children. Modern facilities, age-appropriate environment, specialized resources, and enrichment programs. Teachers are required to have specific education and certification requirements set by state regulations. Flexibility in hiring teachers with various educational backgrounds and experiences. Allows teachers to be happier as they get more of a say over how they teach, and they get to spend more time getting to know each student and building a bond with them.
Often serve a diverse range of students from different backgrounds and abilities. Have more selective admissions processes and cater to specific demographics or educational philosophies. This allows a parent to make a decision based on their families values. Events and Community Involvement. Family activities and events are designed for the elementary level.
