The admin team, teachers and staff are all so thoughtful - despite it being a big school the care is very individualized. We’ve loved the school for our now-toddler for nearly three years, and our infant now has the same teachers and level of care!
Lightbridge Academy has been amazing to our girl after moving from a different school! The director, the teachers, the activities each day are well thought out and planned. The activities are engaging and the teachers love interacting with the kids. The place is so great in so many ways. So happy we found Lightbridge Academy.
I have had great experiences since being at Lightbridge all the way up to Ms. Kate’s class. So my score is based on overall experience, not just the last few months. I will say the past 2 to 3 months has been a struggle with the new teaching staff in blue horse. They are not personable with parents, Ms. Williams never did formal introductions or tried to get to know parents or ask anything about the kids when she first started. That could have helped significantly. There’s been an extreme lack of collaboration to work through challenges and figure out solutions with my child. There has been an extreme lack of updates along with pictures. I also am aware how over populated the classroom is that factors into the experience. I know that I am at least one of 5 other parents who feel this way and have not been the happiest. We all have considered leaving or pulling back on days, but we heard Ms. Kate is returning which is amazing. Every parent was devastated when she left. Knowing my son is going to be back in her room my husband and I along with a lot of parents are happy about this.i think there needs to be a closer evaluation of the staff in blue horse and some coaching on interaction with parents.
Great communication, loving and consistent teachers
I love the teachers! They truly care and go absolutely above and beyond; I am grateful.
Caring teachers. The care about kids and do great activities.
I like the care my child receives and the excitement she has to be there
Number of teacher to students ratio.
I love this program and highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe and loving environment for a child of any age. The summer camp offers many activities.
ALL of the teachers are absolutely incredible with the children (I do especially want to give a shout out to Ms. Dana and Ms. Idaliz - whom my son has decided are his second moms whenever he is in their care). He has learned a ton from the programming and I am really glad we chose Lightbridge.
I love being notified of his daily activities and seeing the photos! Also Miss Indy and Miss Kailan are amazing! They make not only me but my son feel so comfortable.
Staff retention
We couldn’t have more positive things to say about Lightbridge - our son has been there since he was 4 months old and he looks forward to going every day. The staff is responsive and cares a lot about the kids - we are lucky to call Lightbridge home!
The teachers are amazing! They truly care for the children and I feel 100% confident leaving my child with them.
The teachers and staff are always happy and positive!
Nice facility and good staff
From front office staff to the teachers . The whole atmosphere is great .
This school sucks.
My son does so good at lightbridge and the teachers and ALL the staff are wonderful. Picking him up feels so heartwarming because everyone knows who he is throughout the entire program. I am so happy with putting him in early, and so happy to have him going there for pre-k! The staff is so wonderful and make my son feel so comfortable I couldn't ask for more! A happy child coming home from school with a smile and good report is more than a mommy heart could ask for.
Most of the teachers we have had have been the most caring people ever. They truly care about my child. It's hard for me to leave my child every day when I work but knowing she is in such great hands is such a relief.
The care the staff has for the children is top notch. They are so sweet and communicative which is very important for us. So grateful for such an amazing school.
Our daughter has been attending Lightbridge for a little over a year and it has been nothing short of amazing. Everyone on the staff has shown such care for our daughter. The administration is so friendly and is always available to answer any questions we have. The classroom team treats my daughter with such kindness and she has learned so much in her time at Lightbridge. If we had to make the choice over again, I have no doubt we would still choose Lightbridge.
I love everything possible about this school. The staff are all family to my family. All 3 of my children attended this school since 6 months old. My oldest is graduating from the Kindergarten class and has made some of the best memories in the school. My 3 year old twins are also in preschool and are thriving! Super safe, clean, and organized school. Children are always well taken care of and doing amazing activities amongst peers. 10/10 recommend this facility for any family!
I love this program. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe and loving place for a child of any age! Everyone is so warm and welcoming. I started my daughter when she was 4 months old and I was so nervous about leaving her. The team at the Edison LBA made it so easy. My daughter loved them and i could feel they loved her as well. It made my having to go back to work so much easier. I truly feel like they are an extension of our family.
High turnover teachers not following class rules and engaging with kids. Not very clean. Students are not known as individuals but as seats that pay tuition.
There are a lot of kids in classes when classes combine at the end of the day. Classrooms are somewhat untidy when I come to fetch my kids. Please improve this, floors are untidy, bad odours in classrooms. Years ago when we first visited, you could smell the cleanliness all day round. Perhaps schedule regular mop ups throughout the day to keep the beautiful facility in great condition at all times.
The program is very flexible and suits our needs. Our child is doing very well there and loves her teachers. We want to shoutout Ms Nadedge for being so kind and always having time to discuss our child’s day.
The curriculum
1.Organization & Presentation
If schoolwork is coming home ripped, folded, or crammed in a bookbag, that shows poor organization and lack of care.
* papers should be stored neatly
* work should come home in folders
* projects should be protected
* parents should be able to clearly see progress
It may seem small, but sloppy presentation reflects sloppy systems.
2. Better Food Quality
For expensive tuition, lunch should be better planned and more diverse, not the same repetitive food.
Parents should not be paying premium rates for weak food options from local store & canned fruits
Meals should be:
* balanced
* consistent
* nutritious
* better quality
* not repetitive, low-effort filler food
Staff and environment are very welcoming.
