Children’s Lighthouse opened in Celina, a company representative said.

The franchise, owned by Kirk and Jenny Rose McKean, offers curriculum-based pre-K, preschool, and advanced pre-K programs. The school enrolls children from infancy through 12 years old.

“Our proprietary and nationally accredited curriculum is built on a foundation of academic excellence by infusing many advanced early childhood education philosophies including Maria Montessori, also a big focus on character values and creativity enhancement,” a representative said in an email.
