WELCOME TO
THE LIGHTHOUSE!

Preschool and Afterschool program for Philadelphia

OUR MISSION

To provide educational, recreational, cultural, social and economic improvement programs to families to improve the quality of their lives.

FOUNDED IN 1893

We know that lasting personal and social change comes about when everyone works together. That’s why strengthening community is our cause. Every day, we work side by side with our neighbors to make sure that people of every age, income level and background have the opportunity to learn, develop, grow and thrive to be positive contributing members to the community.

WE ARE A KEYSTONE STAR 4 FACILITY
The Lighthouse is Keystone STAR 4 certified, which maintains research-based quality standards for staff
education, the learning environment, leadership management, and family and community partnerships.
