Absolutely everything! The warm welcomes, the inviting activities, the creativeness of all, and most importantly the cleanliness and safety that is provided at Edison Lightbridge academy. My three children and self have become part of this family tha I will forever cherish. Thank you for everything you do each and every day, it is much appreciated now and for a lifetime.
My first disappointment was when my daughter went from class to another without an easy smooth transition as I was told, teacher keep changing in her class , introducing new routine with different timing than the sheet that was provided to us, one time during the cold days my daughter was the only one without her jacket outside and when I asked i was told that they try to teach the kids independency, which I understand if she gave her her jacket and asked her to wear it herself instead of taking her out without it,
Second, teacher got sick twice with influenza B then A, both times she was in class and my daughter got it from her and not just that, she give it to her little sister.
I mean if your rules says if the kida feeling sick , they should come to school, then I expect the same rule to apply to teachers.
Third, I been receiving vedios of the activities my daughter been involve in and in one of them , she called my daughter names which she shouldn't. She called her name and then says with the lips, because my daughter have her hand in her mouse pulling her lips which we are trying to make her stop, but instead of helping us she is making fun of her infant of everyone which is disrespectful and totally unacceptable.
Fourth, if my daughter have her snacks in the fridge and I saw that in the camera multiple times and my daughter confirmed that every time she get up to get her snacks the teacher ask her to go back to her seat and I had to call three times in regards to that
Fifth, there has not been communication between the tracher and the parents for anything happening. I have no idea what is happening with my daughter in class, is she doing good, was there any accident during her nap, nothing zero communication
The staff are friendly and flexible. I appreciate the transparency with the cameras and diversity in programming.
I love the care and attention that is provided to my child. It really gives me peace of mind as a working mom that my child is ok and I can focus on work. I also love the structured curriculum and the exposure to different activities.
Everyone is very attentive and caring. If ever a concern with anything, they’ll take action however they can to make sure you’re comfortable. Also as someone who tries to be organized, the communication level between teacher, director and parent is unmatched.
More visibility into meals, such as whether he ate lunch or how much, would be really helpful for planning dinner and routines at home.
I really like the enrichment program at Lightbridge Academy of Somerset. It helps children grow in so many ways, from learning Spanish and sign language to doing STREAM activities, singing, and exploring music. The children are encouraged to use their imagination and be creative. The teachers are very nurturing, communicate well with parents, and truly care about what’s best for the children!
The simple fact that I drop my daughter off and she runs inside. She loves her colleagues and her teachers. It’s heartwarming to know my daughter is well taken care of.
The program is wonderful but it’s the staff that makes this school so special (specifically Yardley PA location) and that’s a direct reflection of the director Kate. She cares so much about our kids she makes sure to have the most amazing teachers in the classrooms. I have worked in childcare for 15 years and know how rare it is to find people like the women in this school and I couldn’t ask for better people to love my baby and guide him through these early years. At the end of the day they are babies and it doesn’t matter how wonderful the academics are (which they are) it’s the amount of love they are surrounded by and I am so blessed to have this village!
The teachers put so much thought and care into each day. The staff as a whole is so friendly and kind. Everyone knows my daughters name. She is excited to come in every day and shares the same excitement when she comes home to tell us what she has done that day.
I LOVE everything about Lightbridge Academy. What I love the most are the teachers and staff. They are all so caring and loving to my girls. Everyone is always so happy and we really feel at home. Whenever we walk through the doors Ms. Dawn and Ms. Melissa make us feel like we are family. Their energy and professionalism are so inviting that I myself don't even want to leave after dropping my girls off. Thank you to all you amazing people at Lightbridge for making us feel special. Thank you Ms. Thani, Ms. Nana, Ms. Schae, Ms. Nila and Ms. Kaitlyn for taking such great care of our babies everyday. There needs to be more of all you to make this world a better place.
The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating to our son's needs.
This is a great school. I love how dedicated the teachers are to both the students and parents. The updates on the portal each day put my mind at ease knowing that my son is well taken care of and in great hands.
Safe and clean facility, friendly staff, and amazing curriculum!
The facility is clean and taken care of. The staff truly truly cares about the children and get to know every single one!
Compared to other daycares, this facility is very clean. The staff and teachers are well organized and truly caring toward both the children and parents' needs. Each week, there are always new themes for the kids to learn.
Lightbridge has been an amazing place for my son and daughter to learn and grow. The teachers truly care, and make it a fun place to be!
I have been very happy with the classroom environment that my son has had since starting at Lightbridge. I have seen his vocabulary, motor skills and social skills grow exponentially. His teachers are all warm, welcoming and knowledgable.
Ms Mary & Ms Lynn are wonderful with our toddler. Her day is filled with creative activities, imaginative play and learning.
We are very happy with this daycare. The curriculum is well-structured and engaging, helping children learn and grow in a fun way. The teachers are kind, patient, and truly care about the kids. The facility is always clean, safe, and well-maintained, which gives us great peace of mind as parents. Communication with staff is clear and supportive, and we really appreciate the nurturing and positive environment they provide. We highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a loving and enriching place for their child
The staff truly loves our son! He loves everyone and he has been thriving. We know that he is safe and loved and that’s all any parent can hope for. We also love all the learning activities he does and the app with pictures of him throughout the day having fun with his friends.
Every teacher and staff member truly cares about every child. The directors are easily approachable and are always available to talk and answer any questions. My child feels safe and loved every day. Children learn through centers and different manipulatives which help different learners succeed. I love knowing that my preschool aged daughter will be confident and ready to start kindergarten in a few years. She’s excited to talk about her day with her friends.
We like the staff, both management and teachers
We really enjoy the curriculum and activities that the program has. Our children have learned SO much and we really are amazed at everything they are learning and have learned. The classrooms that they are in right now are our favorites. Our children do very well with routine and structure and are thriving in their classes. They have both "grown up" at Lightbridge and every time they need to move up a class it is very bittersweet because of the relationships we have built with their teachers and the staff.
The teaching staff
Everyone at the center really tried their best (teachers and admin), but feel overall under supported. The teachers had a list of things that my son needed that is different from the handbook (a bib, a plate with a suction cups). I got less than 24 hours notice about a parent engagement day. One of the most basic tasks is downloading a billing statement for my FSA account reimbursement and I haven’t been able to do that. The messaging platform is slow to load and I get so many double notices. My son is supposed to go three days a week, and started in Oct and his first full week was in January because he would go on Monday, get sick by Wednesday morning and not be able to attend Wed or Thursday. He got HFM, Flu, Norovirus, RSV, multiple colds with fever and rash. I understand kids get sick, but I have many in my network whose kids started other daycares at the same time as mine, and I was out with a sick baby 4x more than the second sickest baby. I think the center / toys could be more rigorously cleaned.
I am also asked to provide a doctors note every time he misses school that he has been cleared to return. I understand this is meant to protect other student, but my doctor has a $25 fee to prepare letters and I (not joke) visited the doctor every week from Oct through Christmas and had over $200 in letter fees (which aren’t covered my insurance or fsa reimbursement). And clearly this policy isn’t helping sickness stay out of the center…. I feel like it leads parents to lie about why the student is absent when their kids are sick to avoid needing to get a doctor’s note. I agree something’s like HFM need to be cleared my a doctor, but does every mild fever or cold?
But mostly, my son hates it. I get videos and he is having a hard time adjusting. He seems to be in a more structure learning environment than he is ready for, and the center isn’t set up to adapt to him.
At the recent parent day, there was some fake snow (very fun!) as a sensory activity, but the teachers kept saying “snow is cold” which was confusing bc this snow is not cold. It is a fine place, my son is safe and cared for, but it doesn’t exceed my basic expectations on any front.
The balance between learning and play keeps my child entertained and engaged. He’s learning something new everyday and it’s truly because of Lightbridge. My older son went through Lightbridge too and by the time he went to kindergarten he was more than ready and entered ahead of his peers as a result.
Lightbridge is a warm, welcoming environment. Everyone meets children where they are at and supports their growth with care. Our son is loving his “new school.”
Structured and predictable routines and the feature to watch my kid live from work. The staff are very hardworking and pleasant. I was anxious to send my toddler initially , but he enjoyed going lightbridge very quickly!
Lightbridge Warren is a warm, inviting childcare center and the teachers, director and administrators are so caring and attentive. Many of the staff are moms themselves so have extensive experience caring for and teaching young children. My child has learned so much since being here and is making so many friends!
