In 1951, five parents whose children were not receiving school services joined together to start a one room school at Forsyth Park. In 1955, the Chatham Chapter of Georgia ARC was chartered. The purpose was to provide education to children with developmental disabilities while advocating for them in the community.

As a first time parent of a child with special needs, I was concerned about what her experience would be like within a daycare setting. From day 1, Kicklighter has treated her like one of the kids (in a good way!); celebrated her milestones with us; and generally have gone above and beyond to provide wonderful care. Kicklighter's director, Stacey Davis, is always responsive to our concerns and needs, and it is evident that she truly cares about the kids whose safekeeping she has been entrusted with. They have a great staff who loves on our daughter and makes us feel that she is in great hands.

Its a very loving and caring environment for kids. Very good safety and cleanliness for kids. Both our kids went there. Wonderful director and caring staff. Teachers will tell you daily about the things that kid is experiencing and learning. Teachers are actually teaching and not just 'watching' our little one.

Let me start off by saying that Ms. Pat and Ms. DaDa were amazing with my daughter. I know that while she was under their care she was well taken care of and never once did I have to worry. My main issue with this facility is the director, Stacey and her repugnant attitude. As the Director of Kicklighter Academy, one would expect her to be open, welcoming and responsive to parent concerns. I find it very disheartening when I express my concerns about issues surrounding my child and they are met with a nonchalant disposition, accusatory undertones and an overall lack of care. While my child was

My son has been here since he was nine months old and it was the best decision sending him here. Throughout the years with my older one we have had some very bad experiences with daycares and I've never truly felt comfortable having my kids in daycare. My child is now almost 3 and I wouldn't move him from this daycare for any reason. He is so loved and well taken care of here. They truly love your children and they teach them so much and I know that he will have an upper hand when he starts school. Not to mention that his teacher Ms. Jessica was a huge part of helping get him potty trained before

If I were leaving a review for Ms. Pat & the Squiggles (infant room) I'd easily leave a five star review. She took great care of my son and I don't think she could love him more if he were a member of her personal family! Other than that, I absolutely would not recommend this daycare to others. The administration was completely unprofessional, teachers are often left over ratio, and etc.
