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.

Before you choose childcare in Mt. Juliet, spend a few minutes with us. It could tell you everything you need to know.

We were recently featured on Making It in Mt. Juliet, where our Managing Partner, Danielle Luja and owner, CJ Patel chatted with the Mt. Juliet Chamber’s Mark Hinesley.

Hear why we chose Children’s Lighthouse—and why Mt. Juliet was the perfect home for Tennessee’s first location. You’ll learn how our proprietary curriculum prepares children for kindergarten, starting with the meaningful learning in our infant classroom.

We also talk about safety, our extraordinary sanitation measures, and our new after-school program. That industrial-looking “freezer”? It’s actually a ZONO sanitizing machine, and its job is pretty impressive. 💫

This National Grandparents Day, we’re celebrating everything children learn from the grandparents in their lives.

Their impact goes well beyond family stories and traditions. Grandparents can help shape a child’s sense of identity, confidence and connection in ways that last.

We celebrate the family relationships and traditions that help children understand where they come from and strengthen their sense of belonging.
