“My siblings and I are extremely excited to bring values-based learning to more children in Cedar Park,” said Noor Attia said in a prepared statment. “When we began researching early learning business opportunities, we were looking for a concept that we would feel comfortable bringing our own children to. We found that in Children’s Lighthouse and look forward to welcoming our neighbors to our new location on Brushy Creek.”

This is the first Children’s Lighthouse location for the Attia siblings.
