Staff across the board is caring and great with children

Amazing staff who clearly care about the kids!

We love backup care at lightbridge! The office staff is so helpful, the teachers are great and welcoming, and most of all, my 3 year old has a wonderful time. I feel so great knowing we have a reliable, safe, fun place for her to go to.

From the moment we stepped into Lightbridge, we knew it was the perfect daycare for our son. After visiting several other places, Lightbridge Downtown Brooklyn immediately stood out, and our initial hunch proved absolutely correct. As parents initially nervous about our son's transition from home to daycare, we were met with an incredibly warm and welcoming atmosphere, where the teachers and the administrative members genuinely made us feel like family. The teachers' attentiveness is remarkable. They are incredibly responsive to our son's needs and communicate effectively with us. The administrative staff is equally responsive, providing timely and helpful information. Notably, the clear and effective communication between the administration and teachers fosters an exceptional work environment, enabling the teachers to work efficiently, comfortably, and at their best. The facilities are impeccably clean, creating a safe and healthy environment for all the children. What truly sets Lightbridge Downtown Brooklyn apart is the teachers' interaction with the children. Their polite and encouraging approach cultivates kindness and active play. When a student is upset, the teachers take the time to understand and resolve the issue with empathy and patience. They also provide valuable advice on our son's health and speech development, demonstrating their expertise and commitment to each child's well-being. Furthermore, they show genuine respect for our family's heritage, acknowledging and supporting our cultural and linguistic background. As someone involved in the education field, I can confidently say that the professionalism at Lightbridge is unparalleled. They create an environment where parents and children grow together, not only as a family but also as valued members of the community. Lightbridge has been an incredible support system, and we are deeply grateful for their dedication and care.

The location and hours meet our needs. Our daughter feels comfortable with the teachers. She enjoys the projects they do. They get to spend time outside when weather permits.

I like the security via facial recognition and the live stream cameras that parents and staff can view at any time.

The teachers are fantastic. Ms. Kadija in particular is the kindest and best teacher. My 3 year old son thinks she is his best friend!

The two lead teachers we've had, Shazelle and Kadijah, have been absolutely wonderful and world-class. They are inventive, caring, thoughtful, and very attentive to the needs of the children. They go above and beyond to create new worlds for the kids and to teach them new things that aren't required by the curriculum. Education under them feels like we're at an elite private school.
