Enroll in our Tuition Preschool!

Lighthouse Learning offers high quality tuition preschool for three- and four-year olds at McMillan Early Childhood Center and North Muskegon Elementary. The McMillan Tuition preschool program is dedicated to the Montessori curriculum; North Muskegon follows a theme-based curriculum.

We proudly provide a method of education that is based on self-directed activity, hands-on learning and collaborative play. In our classrooms, children make creative choices in their learning, while the classroom and the highly trained teacher offer age-appropriate activities to guide the process. Our staff have a great love and respect of the child, providing a safe, secure environment in a fully licensed room.

Now offering Before and After School Programs at eight sites!

WLACE Lighthouse Learning has wonderful relationships with five of Muskegon County's school districts. For your convenience, we open at 6:30 a.m. and close at 6:00 p.m. We offer flexible schedules to ensure your family's needs are met. Because our sites are located within school buildings, transportation is not needed between our sites and your child's school - they simply walk down the hall! We offer care on early release days, half days, snow days and non-school days. We provide healthy snacks, art projects, reading and homework time, Stem Activities (MACC and WLCC), YMCA (Central and RPEL), free time and plenty of outdoor time!
