Stop. Drop. Roll. Three simple words that can teach little learners one very important lesson.

We help children understand fire safety in ways that feel approachable, memorable, and empowering.

Through hands-on practice and real-world connections with community firefighters, children can learn what it means to stay safe and what to do in an emergency.

In April of this year, Children’s Lighthouse was at The National Franchise Show in Orlando to share our plans to expand further into Central and Southwest Florida.

As we continue developing in Florida, we are focused on predicting population growth and demand for early education, and are excited to connect with entrepreneurs who are looking for opportunities in a recession-resistant and essential category.

Fall break, teacher workdays, holiday breaks, and long weekends can add up quickly for working families.

At participating Children’s Lighthouse schools, the xSTREAM Quest® program gives school-age children a place to spend those days having fun, staying active, and connecting with friends while parents have a care plan they can count on.

🎉 Congratulations to the Prock Family being our Family of the Month 🎉

We are so excited to recognize the Prock Family and highlight what makes their family so special! Some of their favorite moments enjoy baking, feeding animals, finger painting, swimming, exploring new places, and most importantly, creating fun family memories together! The Prock family loves making memories together, whether they're spending time in the water at the lake and visiting parks together.

We are happy to have the Prock Family as part of our Children’s Lighthouse family. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your little one’s journey✨

Children’s Lighthouse of New Braunfels owner, Ashley Hempton, recently joined KENS 5’s Great Day San Antonio to show how a colorful fall craft can become a hands-on learning experience for little learners. 🍂🎨

While creating stained glass fall leaves, children can explore why leaves change color, experiment with layering tissue paper, and discover what happens when light passes through different materials.

Tearing, placing, and arranging each piece also gives little hands plenty of fine motor practice along the way.
