As a mom, leaving my little one in someone else’s care is never easy, but I honestly couldn’t be happier with our experience. From the very beginning, the staff made us feel welcomed, comfortable, and reassured You can truly tell how much love, patience, and dedication they put into caring for the children.
I love knowing that my little one is surrounded by people who genuinely care about her, make her feel safe, and help her learn and grow every day. Their kindness, attention, and constant communication mean so much to us as parents.
Thank you to the entire team for treating our little girl with so much love and making us feel that she is in a second home. We are truly grateful for everything you do!
Overall, we have had a positive experience, but there are a few areas where the daycare could improve. More consistent sharing of photos throughout the day would help parents feel connected to their child's experience. Continued focus on cleanliness is important, and I would like to see more teacher engagement around learning objectives and educational activities. Additionally, more detailed and authentic end-of-day reports would be appreciated. Honest feedback about both positive moments and challenging situations is valuable and helps parents stay informed and involved.
Thank you for everything you do! I love that Holden clearly has a good time at school and enjoys the care his teachers provide. I value the consistency in his classroom which I know is hard to find in the industry. I hope that the consistency with team members continues as Holden evolves into different classrooms.
My children enjoy this center, and I would go back. I have recommended it to others, some of the things I state:
I love the video check in, even though I stopped using it after awhile. When I first toured, having healthy food outings was a discussion. We were on the same page and I felt Lightbridge did post healthy options; how've I noticed that's not the case. The offered snacks aren't up to par with some other places. Lower sugar, preservative free, fresh options, etc options would be nice.
At first, I wished the livestream was included, but ultimately I realize that the monthly cost would increase to compensate. So I'm onboard with that remaining an optional service.
I love how the staff really put their all into making sure the kids are learning something new, whether it's a new letter or how to express their emotions correctly. From the owners down to the babies everyone is treated like family. I love the safety maintained there. I like how I can view my kids either in class or outside on the playground on the camera in real time. I like that I can also see what my kids are learning in school from the main app.
My kids love their teachers, and it makes me so happy knowing they spend their days with people who care about them so much. A big shoutout to Ms. Natasha, Ms. Warda, Ms. Maricruz, and Ms. Amira! Thank you for being patient with my little ones, comforting them on the tough days, and celebrating all their little milestones. As a parent, it means so much to know my kids feel safe, loved, and happy when I drop them off. Our family is so grateful for each of you and all the little things you do to make their days special. ❤️
I would not recommend this daycare due to ongoing concerns with staff turnover, classroom management, cleanliness, communication, and, most importantly, the safety and well-being of the children. It is important to note that these issues became apparent after the change in ownership, and the overall quality of the facility has noticeably declined since then.
There is constant staff turnover, creating inconsistency and instability for the children. There also appears to be significant dysregulation among the children, raising concerns about classroom management and the overall environment.
Another major concern is the cleanliness of the facility. Rooms frequently smell of urine, dust accumulates on air vents, and floors are visibly unclean. Basic cleanliness and sanitation should be a priority in any childcare environment, and these conditions are unacceptable.
My biggest concern, however, is the lack of involvement and awareness from administration. When concerns are brought forward, there is little to no indication they are being taken seriously or that meaningful action is being taken. Teachers themselves have made comments about ongoing classroom issues, which I have relayed to administration, only to be met with what feels like disinterest. These concerns are repeatedly left unaddressed.
Additionally, my child has been hurt on multiple occasions, including incidents involving the head and face, without receiving incident reports or even a phone call notifying me. Parents should never have to discover injuries or question why they were not informed about incidents involving their child.
A daycare should provide a safe, clean, structured, and nurturing environment, with administration that is engaged, accountable, and responsive to parental concerns. Unfortunately, since the ownership change, my experience has been the opposite. The lack of communication, accountability, cleanliness, and follow-through has significantly eroded my trust in this facility. I can
The staff are kind and caring We’ve had a really positive experience with Lightbridge Academy. The staff is kind, caring, and attentive, and you can tell they genuinely care about the children. They offer a good variety of activities and curriculum that keep the kids active, engaged, and learning. Whenever we have a question or concern, it’s addressed right away. Communication with the staff is always easy and clear, which we really appreciate. Their flexible hours are also a big plus compared to other daycare options. Overall, we’ve been very happy with our experience and plan to continue using Lightbridge for our childcare needs.
My child has been attending since he was 1.5 years old, he is now is 3.5 and we have always had such a positive experience with his teachers and the administrative staff! Everyone is super communicative and I have seen such growth in my child since he began attending Lightbridge
The teachers, directors, and the whole staff is so kind. They love my son and we love them.
We absolutely love Lightbridge Academy! The staff is incredibly welcoming, caring, and dedicated to the well-being of our boys. They create a safe, fun, and engaging environment where our boys feel loved, supported, and excited to go each day. Knowing they are in such wonderful hands gives us so much peace of mind. We are so grateful for the entire Lightbridge team!
Everything from the teachers to the owners but Ms. Kari makes my family feel so special we love her
What I appreciate most about this program is the peace of mind it gives me as a parent. Knowing that my sons are being cared for, supported, and nurtured in a safe and loving environment makes all the difference. It’s such a comfort to know they are in good hands, surrounded by people who genuinely care about their well-being, growth, and happiness. That sense of trust and reassurance is truly what I value most.
We absolutely love LightBridge! I genuinely couldn’t ask for a better daycare for Christopher. The teachers and the Director are all wonderful. Everyone is so caring, attentive, welcoming, and genuinely invested in the children. You can tell that the entire team truly cares about the kids and their families. They make us feel so comfortable and confident leaving Christopher in their care, and we love seeing how happy he is there and how much he’s learning and growing. I would honestly give them a 10/10 without hesitation!
Teachers and staff are very respectful and responsive to concerns and queries. I am confident that my child is well taken care of there.
Teachers are extremely attentive and caring. Ms.Sanya and the team are very receptive to feedback and love the kids equally. Highly recommend to any new parent.
My daughter is now in the Pre-K4 program. She comes home wanting to expand on what she has learned, either in the day or over the course of her learning. This includes asking about spanish equivalent to english words, number counting and spelling or reading of words. She also knows so many people in the place. She says hello and makes jokes with the teachers and students that are not in her class. I get a sense she is overall very happy there, learning and socializing with all of her surroundings. Thank you for taking such good care of her!
The teachers and admin are such a big help! I appreciate all of them and am so happy I can confidently know my son is safe and happy throughout the day!
We absolutely love this daycare! The teachers are truly amazing, caring, patient, and attentive. It gives us such peace of mind knowing our son is in such great hands every day. The entire center is always clean, welcoming, and well-maintained, and it’s clear that the staff genuinely care about the children and their well-being. They go above and beyond to make sure the kids feel safe, loved, and cared for. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and are so grateful for everyone who takes such wonderful care of our little boy. Highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a place where their child will be treated like family!
Amy is a wonderful teacher. My child is maturing from a toddler into a little girl. This amazing, kind lady does everything in her power to help my daughter’s development. She has attended for almost two years. Nice to be able to concentrate on work because your child is in great hands.
All staff at Lightbridge Academy of Sayreville are ready to come in and not only care for the children in their care, but to also give them an education. I love knowing and feeling that my child is safe at Lightbridge Academy of Sayreville.
We have had such a wonderful experience with the kindergarten program! The curriculum is thoughtfully structured, and it is amazing to see how much the kids truly learn and grow throughout the year. Miss Amanda is exceptionally caring, warm, and attentive to every child's needs. We especially love how she frequently incorporates creative projects that involve families and keep the kids genuinely engaged in their learning. We couldn't ask for a better foundation for our child's education!
Transparent feedback, warm and welcoming environment, enriching curriculum, wonderful staff
Their curriculum in every classroom are outstanding. The teachers are dedicated and loving with the children.
My daughter has been attending Lightbridge since she was just 2 months old, and she’ll soon be turning 5 next year. Watching her grow from a tiny baby into the smart, independent, and loving little girl she is today has been such an amazing journey. Looking back, I honestly wouldn’t have wanted it any other way!
Throughout all these years, she has learned so much, reached so many milestones, built friendships, and gained confidence. One thing I will always appreciate is that every teacher she has had has impacted her life in their own special way. Their kindness, patience, love, and dedication have played such an important role in her childhood.
I am beyond grateful to everyone who has been part of her journey and helped make these early years so special ❤️❤️❤️❤️
My child has grown and learned so much since beginning in Orange Giraffes. The staff is amazing, they’re always engaged with students and on top of their cleaning procedures. The kids are always fed, clean, and happy. He no longer cries at drop off. My son is always happy to see his friends and teachers! I am constantly surprised by what he shows me he has learned at school like his shapes and colors (in English and Spanish) just at 20 months old! There’s no childcare center like Lightbridge Academy.
The teachers are amazing and caring for my two sons.
I love my daughter’s teachers! The office is always helpful as well!
I wish there was a little more pictures/updates and communication about individual child. Understand teachers are doing a lot and paying attention to them in person but would appreciate some feedback on how child is doing (for example with meals, snacks, interacting with others) - not necessarily daily, but maybe weekly.
I’d recommend my daughter’s school in a heartbeat! From the staff at the front desk to her teachers, everyone is so warm and welcoming. They make Addy feel loved and happy, and I feel that same warmth every time I walk in to pick her up. It means so much to me as a mom to see her so happy and to know she’s surrounded by people who genuinely care about her. 💛
