infanttoddlerpreKkinder
Children's Lighthouse of Wylie is a family-owned, licensed center serving infants through school-age children with 214 capacity and an array of academic and enrichment programs. The center operates 6:30 AM–6:30 PM and accepts subsidies, with dedicated before/after school care serving local schools via direct transportation. The proprietary CARES curriculum supports academic, social, and emotional development through Character Values programming, while school-age students access STREAM-focused instruction and xSTREAM Quest summer camps. Recognizing real-time video monitoring and secure entry systems, the center's recent HHSC compliance record reflects only two high-severity deficiencies despite its size, though six medium-range deficiencies also appear in filings and warrant close ongoing monitoring.
