We have been there for 3 years now and have sent both of our children starting at 4 months old. Planning to send our third child at the same age in 2026. We love so much about the program - the teachers we’ve had in every classroom, the “floaters” and support staff, and the most recent administration team (Daisy, Matt, Ashley). We have been able to clearly tell how devoted, caring, and hard working everyone is, and how much they all care for our children. There is such a comfort for our family there, knowing so many of the teachers by name and understanding their teaching and communication styles. We have always felt listened to when we had questions or concerns, and always felt like our children matter. Any of our concerns or questions have been met with prompt responses (both from teachers and administrators) and action taken to make the changes our children need in their development.
Miss Ingrid, Miss Michelle, Miss Dalmish, Miss Esna, and Miss Ivette have very special places in our hearts - for the kindness, patience, and love they have shown both of our children. Our son has been with Miss Michelle since he was 18 months old, and we truly don’t know how he’s going to move to the next room without her! And Miss Daisy is one of the sweetest people we’ve ever met, the program is so lucky to have her.
We have recommended LB to friends (some have enrolled their children and enjoy it also) and will continue to do so. We have also met some amazing families there that we now consider to be close friends and we spend time with outside of the daycare setting.
There is really not much negative for us to say about the program; our only comment is that all the teachers deserve raises :)

We’ve loved watching Lightbridge grow and flourish over the past two years. It’s been amazing to see the transformation into such a nurturing, organized, and joyful environment where our son Leo is truly thriving. The team has worked so hard to create a space where children feel safe, happy, and supported—and it absolutely shows. We’re so grateful to be part of this caring and committed community. Thank you for all that you do for our family!

I’ve seen such an improvement in the Lightbridge administration for the better over the past few months- it’s incredible! I feel so much more in the know of what’s happening at school, what’s happening with teachers, and just overall trajectory of the daycare as a whole. They really have taken an initiative to keep parents informed of all school matters and implement more uniform policies and procedures which I genuinely appreciate which is why my score has actually gone up!

The curriculum is appropriate and effective. Our son has learned so much, from basic letters, sounds and numbers, to Spanish and sign language. We also like the extracurricular opportunities, such as weekly PESA sports and some of the fun annual traditions, like trunk or treat. The teachers and office staff are always approachable and responsive to questions and concerns.

We really love Lightbridge. We can tell that our 15 month son loves going to this daycare. Within the first week, he rushes to his classroom and sometimes cries when we go pick him up. He’s picked up on sign language here and we’re so grateful that he’s been able to enjoy the outdoors here. His summer has been full of water play and other activities. They even brought in a petting zoo! Lightbridge has surpassed our expectations of a daycare and we’re so grateful that our son gets to come here every weekday.

Our kids are very very happy at school. They love their teachers, they love the activities, and they love their friends.
I love the easiness of the app and how I can get updates throughout the day. I can see how happy they are with the videos and photos that are posted.
My toddler is excited to tell me about her day. She reviews all the fun things they did at school and teaches me what she has learned. She frequently says her teachers are her best friends.
I’m always happy to hear feedback from the teachers, like what works for them during a meltdown, what phrases they use, how they help them cope so I can implement it at home. I only have two kids and these teachers have waaaay more experience than me, so I really appreciate their insight.
I absolutely love Lightbridge! And I can tell my kids also love it there too!

I love the curriculum - it’s amazing that the kids are exposed to so many different things at such a young age (arts, math, sign language!)! I have a child in Infants and a child in Orange Giraffes, and both classes are wonderful. The teachers communicate clearly and regularly with the parents. Also special shout out to all of the Infant room teachers - they truly love the babies like they are their own! I love how many crafts and special activities they do with the babies.
