❊ About Us ❊
Our Story
Located in the heart of Warwick, Rhode Island, The Lighthouse Preschool is a family-owned and operated early childhood education center dedicated to providing children with a safe, nurturing, and engaging place to learn, play, and grow.
Serving children from infancy through school age, Lighthouse has proudly become a home away from home for generations of local families. As a family-owned school, we take great pride in knowing our families personally and creating the warm, welcoming atmosphere that has made Lighthouse a trusted part of the Warwick community.
Our Philosophy
We believe childcare is about much more than simply providing a place for children to spend their day. It’s about creating an environment where every child feels known, supported, and excited to come to school each morning—and where parents can feel confident knowing their child is safe, loved, learning, and thriving.
Our classrooms balance learning with play, giving children opportunities to explore their interests, build social-emotional skills, develop confidence and independence, prepare for school, and—most importantly—enjoy being children.
Learning & Growing at Lighthouse
Our programs are thoughtfully designed to support children through every stage of their early development. From our infant and toddler classrooms to preschool, Pre-K, and school-age care, our experienced and caring educators provide age-appropriate learning experiences that encourage creativity, curiosity, independence, confidence, and meaningful friendships.
Conveniently located on West Shore Road in Warwick, Lighthouse offers full-time childcare as well as transportation to and from local schools, helping make busy days a little easier for our families.
Part of a Family of Schools
The Lighthouse Preschool is part of a family of early childhood education centers with roots in Rhode Island dating back to 2007. While each of our schools has its own unique personality and community, they are connected by the same family-centered approach and commitment to providing children with exceptional care.
Over the years, our family of schools has grown alongside the families we serve, but our purpose has remained the same: creating places where children feel at home, parents feel supported, and lasting relationships can grow.
Why Families Choose Lighthouse
At Lighthouse, families become part of our community. We value open communication, strong relationships between families and educators, engaging learning experiences, and an environment where children can feel comfortable being themselves.
For us, the greatest measure of success is seeing children walk through our doors excited for another day—and knowing their families feel just as confident leaving them in our care.

Loved by Children, Trusted by Parents.
Seriously! But don’t take our word for it, here are some things people have to say about us.
'“My child and I have been part of the Lighthouse family for about a year and a half now and let me just say it was one of the absolute BEST decisions I have ever made. The directors and teachers are nurturing, professional, and truly invested in each child’s growth and well-being. The facility is clean, organized, and provides a safe, engaging environment. My child and I absolutely LOVE Lighthouse and are so happy to be apart of the Lighthouse family!”

“Lighthouse has truly been a second home for our family. All three of my children have attended. We started in the midst of COVID, when trusting anyone with your kids felt incredibly hard. From the very beginning, Lighthouse felt safe, steady, and caring, and it has always stayed that way.
The staff doesn’t just care for your children, they genuinely know them. Their emotions, their weird phases, their challenges and strengths. Communication is thoughtful and constant, and the love is real.
Two of my boys have graduated from pre-K more than ready for kindergarten…confident, capable, and excited to learn.
We joke about having another baby so we never have to leave…but it’s barely a joke. If you’re a parent up at midnight reading reviews, anxious and second-guessing everything, you should stop here. This is the place.”

“My children love going to Lighthouse Preschool! Not only are the teachers attentive, loving, and have amazing patience with them … the admin team have been nothing but helpful and supportive to them as well as myself. Sometimes being a parent is difficult; and all of the staff make sure to help me through difficult transitions and give me tips on how to help my kiddos! Lighthouse uses an amazing app to keep me up to date with photos, meals, potty time, and daily notes on what they did that day. The communication (and amazing photos of my littles) makes me feel they are safe and KNOW they are in great hands! I can’t thank them enough! We love you Lighthouse Preschool!”
