What could we do to improve?

Hi, I think those that work in the front office could work on being a little more personable and friendly with the families. It would go a long way. One person in particular comes off very dismissive at times and it can make people uncomfortable.

What do you like about our program?

Ms. Veenu has been such a wonderful teacher to my son, Kai. She is patient, caring, and truly takes the time to recognize and encourage what makes each child special. It means so much to me knowing that Kai is in a classroom where he feels comfortable, supported, and excited to learn. I have loved watching his confidence and knowledge continue to grow while in her care.

Twenty years of teaching is an incredible accomplishment, and it is clear that Ms. Veenu has made a lasting impact on so many children and families throughout those years. We are so grateful that Kai had the opportunity to be one of them. Congratulations, Ms. Veenu, and thank you for everything you do!

With Love,
Kai and his mom, Patrice ❤️

Love that the classrooms are actual rooms, this isn't an "open concept" daycare. The teachers are great and pay attention to the kids, my child has learned and grown a lot being here so far. Communication is also great, especially when it comes to any issues my child might be having!

What do you like about our program?

We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Ms. Veenu and the impact she has had on our daughter, Diana, this school year. Watching Diana’s growth under her care and guidance has been incredible. My husband and I have seen her become so much more independent, confident, expressive, and genuinely excited to learn.
At just three years old, Diana learned how to write her own name, write letters, communicate and express herself so well. Beyond the academic growth, one of the things that means the most to us is seeing how excited she is for school and for her activities. Funny enough, Diana loves the weekend homework given to her and I've had to print extra sheets for her to complete because she wants to do more and wants to show Ms. Veenu. She comes home eager to share what she has learned and done and as parents, there is nothing better than knowing your child is in an environment where she feels happy, encouraged, and excited to grow.
Ms. Veenu is truly a special teacher. She is sweet, patient, kind, nurturing, and incredibly dedicated to her students. You can see that she takes the time to know each child individually and pours so much love, attention, and effort into helping every one of them grow. Her passion for teaching is evident not only in the way she interacts with her students, but in the progress we have personally seen in Diana.
As Diana finishes her school year with Ms. Veenu, we are incredibly grateful for everything she has taught her and,= most importantly, for the care and encouragement she has given her along the way. Ms. Veenu has helped build such a beautiful foundation and love for learning in our daughter, and that is something we will always appreciate. Any child would be incredibly lucky to have Ms. Veenu as their teacher. Thank you, Ms. Veenu, for everything you have poured into Diana this year.

You have truly made a lasting impact on her and on our family.

What do you like about our program?

I like this program because the staff here have activities for the babies and children; they are patient, they hold and cuddle them while feeding them their bottles, they rock them in their cribs, and they keep a close watch for when the babies need a diaper change. I really love it—I think leaving my baby here was the best decision.

How did we disappoint you and what can we do to make things right?

My child use to have Ms. Janelle as a teacher and I’m not sure what happened that led to her either quitting or getting fired but she was the best thing that happened for my child. My child learned so much in that classroom, came home and taught me what number and letter they learned for the week, how to sign that letter, and told me about other songs and books that they sang and read. She was extremely organized and sent out a weekly update about what was going on in the classroom. She greeted my child every morning and made my child feel special. Now that she is gone, my child doesn’t like to go to school. My child doesn’t come home and tell me anything that they learned, and every time I ask what was taught, my child states “I don’t know because Ms. Janelle isn’t there.” I’m extremely disappointed and upset that now it seems like the classroom is just being used as a playroom. I’m hoping once my child moves up to the new classroom, the learning will start again and the teachers will be structured, organized, and as caring as Ms. Janelle was.

I love the level of communication I receive throughout the day, both in pictures and written updates. We really appreciate the structure and educational aspects and we feel that our son has learned a tremendous amount in his short time there.

What do you like about our program?

My son’s teachers seem genuinely excited to see him each morning, as does the rest of the staff that we pass in the hallways on the way in who seem to all know his name. I have access to parent vision and I’ve seen his teachers stop and take the time to comfort him when he’s upset, even carrying him around for long periods of time despite having a million other things to do. I also feel like most days they are doing activities or eating or napping almost constantly. There isn’t a lot of down time, which I feel demonstrates that he’s very frequently being interacted with, which I appreciate so much in a busy classroom.

What do you like about our program?

We have had such an amazing experience at Lightbridge Academy in Cherry Hill, from the infant room all the way through preschool. The environment is warm, welcoming and fun. The teachers truly make each day special.

What has meant the most to our family is the incredible support our neurodivergent son has received. His teachers have gone above and beyond to understand him, support his individual needs, celebrate his strengths, and help him thrive. Their patience, compassion, and dedication have made such a meaningful difference in his experience.

Every day the teachers and administrators go above and beyond expectations and it is clear that they genuinely care about the children and families. We feel so fortunate to have found a school where our children are not only cared for but truly known, supported, and loved.

We cannot recommend Cherry Hill Lightbridge Academy enough! ❤️

What do you like about our program?

We came to the LightBridge Huntersville family when our daughter turned 2.5yrs old. As she is our one and only, naturally we were hesitant about the care our daughter would receive (and at such a young age).

LightBridge was out of this world amazing! The facility is/was always pristine. The app & technology were stellar, in fact we didn't feel the need to utilize the live stream cameras as we were always in the know. The staff made you feel welcome in every day coming and goings. The teachers were (are) the very best. Words cannot describe my gratitude for this daycare. It absolutely had a positive and integral role in allowing our daughter to become the smart, independent and funny person she is today!

What could we do to improve?

Overall the team is great and very caring for the children. I wish certain teachers in the nonmobile classroom were a bit more gentle with the babies, as they have been observed being a bit rough on camera. I also would encourage them to tell teachers to decorate their classrooms after hours and not when they are supposed to be watching/playing with the children. It would be great for the daycare to consider allowing certain discounts to be stacked to make the program more affordable.

How did we disappoint you and what can we do to make things right?

I gave a score of 0 because our experience at this location has fallen well short of what I'd expect from your brand.

We've had multiple safety and communication incidents that were handled poorly, with inconsistent follow-through and accountability from leadership. On top of that, teacher turnover has been significant, the quality of incoming staff has steadily declined, and I don't see evidence of any real curriculum in the classrooms. My kids don’t even come home with artwork or anything showing structured activities at a very simple level.

Taken together, this location isn't delivering on the basics I'd expect, let alone what your brand promises. I think corporate should have real visibility into how this location is operating day to day. Happy to provide more detail if it would help.

My son started in the infant classroom and now is moved up to the mobile classroom. At first I was so nervous about having my baby away from me while I am in school, however, Lightbridge staff has completely eased my anxiety. My son is well taken care of and now when I pick him up he is running around playing lol. They take great care of him and I highly recommend to everyone. :)

What do you like about our program?

I like the sense of community, communication, and professionalism. The staff seems happy and well trained and educated. Most importantly, my son is happy there and values the things he learns and the relationships he’s built, including those with his teachers.

However, daycare cost is a real problem. I go into debt every month just to put my son in daycare. This isn’t a Lightbridge exclusive problem. I just feel the need to say something. The cost of childcare isn’t affordable for the typical working class family.

Ms Marla, Ms D, & Ms Katie were able to help Archie transition so well into our first daycare experience. Very grateful for all of them! We appreciate the long windows for drop off & pickup, that we are able to check in via the camera app, & that Archie gets to work on skill building with your team. He has grown & learned so much.

Both of my kids had a great experience at Lightbridge in Bergenfield! It’s such a great feeling knowing that your children are in a place where they are genuinely cared for and treated like family. We are so grateful for all the wonderful memories, experiences, and relationships we’ve made at Lightbridge Academy. I would absolutely recommend them to other families looking for a loving and nurturing daycare! ❤️
