I love Lightbridge! This was one of the only daycares in the Richmond area that I actually felt comfortable sending my son to. The school is always clean. The classrooms are bright and fun and interactive. And most importantly, they prioritize safety. Lightbridge is also the only school I was able to find in the Richmond area that offers a significant degree of flexibility when it comes to student attendance and they really do consider the needs of working parents. So, it was a no-brainer when it was time to decide where I would be sending my son.
Center should focus on learning of the kids
Clean space
Camera access
Great administrative staff
Music and sports programs for kids
I feel so grateful to both Nicole and Ms. Gargi for the incredible care and sensitivity they show up with every day. Ms. Gargi is so attuned to my son, and Nicole never fails to hear and address my concerns. I just wish some of the other teachers were less gruff and more sensitive with him.
I love how I can drop off my child at any time. I also love how well staffed they are. I love the ability to see my child on the cameras. I also appreciate how kind and nice the staff are.
My child stays busy during his time at daycare .
The communication from the teacher has not been great, despite repeated requests to be informed about behavior and mood changes, incidents, and illnesses regarding our child.
Communication is terrible
Frequent turnover of teachers
Unpleasant attitude in the front office
I like the staff, the directors and the teachers. Everyone is very kind, helpful, and just easy to work with. I truly feel the teachers care about my child.
Lightbridge has given my daughter so much, learning, comfort,
The teachers really care about your children!! They take the time to get to know them and pay attention to your specific accommodations. Highly highly recommend!
We would like to see more toddler activities throughout the week. It would be beneficial to remind caregivers to be more gentle when handling the children or when they are crying.
It is a great environment! The teachers are very kind and attentive. We like the Lightbridge app a lot, which keeps us informed of his activities throughout the day.
The ratio of babies to teachers for infants is small which is great. Teachers are all friendly and attentive. Very clean building.
Everyone is absolutely amazing from the teachers to the directors. There is no where else i would rather send my child. I would recommend this place a million times over
Ms Mary was great, overall I I feel like my child was going to good school with good friends around
We truly love everything about Lightbridge Academy of Scarsdale. The activities are engaging and thoughtful, and the care and love they show to our children mean so much to us. We feel very comfortable and happy having our child here.
My daughter feels safe enough to learn and grow emotionally. The staff teach their hearts and their minds.
Communication and staff are great.
Great teachers, upfront cost discussion and wonderful location
We are so thrilled with the programming for our child, who is two and has been at Lightbridge since he was 12 weeks old. It's clear that a lot of thought and prep has gone into his day-to-day there, and it's amazing to see how much he learns in school and brings home. His vocabulary, social skills, comprehension... it's incredible! We're so grateful to have a large "village" like Lightbridge with us as he grows during this very important years!
The facilities are top notch, the extra programs offered during the day are great for working parents (dance, gymnastics) who may not be able to do outside programa, and the teachers are attentive and caring.
I am very happy with the staff at the center. The building is clean and welcoming.
There are age appropriate activities and lessons planned for the kids that help them learn things without feeling like they are "in school". Independence is integrated in everyday tasks but with a discipline that would also really benefit parents when the kids are at home. The social aspect of being at the Academy is amazing. I love all the extracurricular activities that are also offered.
From day one, I felt very comfortable leaving my daughter in the care of the infant teachers. The communication through the app, photos, and phone calls is top tier. The updates on all daily living activities helps us track how our baby is doing and how we can proceed in the evenings for meals and bedtime. They have been flexible with transitions and mostly put the children’s needs first.
We really appreciate the warm, nurturing environment at Lightbridge Academy. The teachers and staff are genuinely caring and attentive, and they take the time to understand each child’s personality and needs. Communication with parents is excellent. we always feel informed and reassured about our child’s day, progress, and well-being.
My kid loves going to her day care and she is learning new things every day ! Her teachers are amazing which is the best part !
Friendly competent staff, no time restrictions on drop off in the morning, special days that match with the curriculum, and that my kids love going there.
We’ve been with this daycare for almost five years now, across two of our kids, and I can honestly say it’s in the best place it’s ever been. The current staff has brought such a great sense of consistency, and you can really feel the level of care and attention they give to each child. It makes a huge difference as a parent knowing your kids are in a safe, nurturing, and well-run environment every day. We’ve had a really positive experience and are so appreciative of the team there!
The teachers do a good job managing the class and keeping the day structured. The curriculum is strong and there is good parent communication. I feel like the building is secure.
