Our Mission
We provide a family-centered environment designed to engage and empower families.
Lighthouse Child & Family Development Center provides quality care and education to children 0-6 years in a Christian environment with a focus on strengthening families through community collaboration.
Program philosophy
Lighthouse Child & Family Development Center (LCFDC) is designed to nurture and support each child’s physical, social, emotional intellectual and language development. Each child’s growth and development is enriched through developmentally appropriate experiences.
The program’s daily schedule provides children with opportunities to explore the environment, self-select activities, practice language, develop problem-solving skills, discover appropriate interactions with peers and adults and acquire concepts through hands-on experiences.
In addition, LCFDC has a deep desire and focus to strengthen families. LCFDC strives to educate and support families in their efforts to accomplish individual goals and to assist them in becoming strong advocates for their child’s education.
Primary goals and objectives
“Lighthouse truly cared about our family and wanted us to be successful.”
Our history
LCFDC was founded in 2007 through the vision of the Musgrave Foundation, who continues to be an on-going supporter of Lighthouse and its mission. The program began with a small center based out of Faith Tabernacle Church. Lighthouse opened a church partner location in October 2009 at Messiah Lutheran Church.
