To Whom It May Concern,

I am pleased to write this letter in recognition of the excellent work of Ms. Yaquelin and Ms. Keilah for Danish’s time in the Blue Horses classroom.

Both teachers consistently demonstrate dedication, professionalism, patience, and genuine care for the children in their classroom. They go above and beyond to create a safe, nurturing, and positive environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow.

What makes them especially wonderful is the warm smile and positive attitude they bring to work every day. No matter how busy the day may be, they greet the children, families, and their coworkers with kindness, enthusiasm, and a welcoming spirit. Their smiles and positive energy help create a happy and caring atmosphere for everyone.

Their commitment to the children, their families, and their responsibilities is truly appreciated. They are dependable, compassionate, hardworking, and always willing to give their best.

Sincerely,

Name removed

My child has made wonderful friends through their time at lightbridge. I've appreciated the efforts to celebrate both big and small events with class parties and lessons leading up to them to communicate the importance. Through the time we've been at Lightbridge there have been a number of changes to admin but the classroom staffing remains focused on helping prepare our students for kindergarten and beyond with important social skills and routines.

My daughter and I both love this school so much. I am already dreading her leaving when she moves up to kindergarten and it’s not this fun! The work that goes into planning these activities is very well done here. My daughter has learned a lot here already and has been able to grid into a confident little bean. The ladies in the front office are always smiling and happy. Good energy all around :)

The teachers in Infants and Mobile Infants have been super women! Ms. Ingrid and Ms. Gladys created a safe space for our daughter to learn and grow, and were very trustworthy in the day to day care of our baby girl. They helped her grow into mobile infants and transitioned her wonderfully. Ms Brenda, Ms Kenia, and Ms Ezna have also been stable sources of comfort and fun for our daughter and we are immensely grateful for their care.

Ms. Tamira is one of the most wonderful teachers our son has had. She is thoughtful, playful, and a great educator that provided guidance and support for our son. She is sensitive to each kids personality and needs and that in itself gave us comfort to drop him off each day. Mr. Gabe is also a sensitive care giver for our son, and truly cares for each individual child in Teal. It’s clear he is invested in their growth both educationally and emotionally.

We appreciate the teachers at Lightbridge and recommend Lightbridge to fellow parents because of them!

What do you like about our program?

We’ve loved so much about our experience at Lightbridge Academy Plainsboro since our little one started in 2024. The curriculum has been wonderful to watch in action — the well-rounded mix of activities kept every day feeling fresh and engaging, and our child genuinely looked forward to going in each morning. What really stood out to us was how the program balanced academics with the social-emotional side of growing up, teaching real tools for self-regulation and confidence that we still see our child use at home.
We also really appreciated ParentView — being able to check in during the day, see updates in real time, and stay connected to what our child was learning gave us so much peace of mind, especially in the early months when it’s hardest to be away. The teachers clearly cared about each child as an individual, not just as part of a group, and that personal attention made all the difference over these two years. We’re genuinely going to miss this place.

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Ms. Veenu. There are certain teachers who come into a child’s life and simply do their job, and then there are those very special teachers who become a part of their story. Ms. Veenu is absolutely one of those teachers.

I feel incredibly lucky and grateful that my daughter has had the opportunity to be loved, supported, encouraged, and taught by Ms. Veenu. As a parent, there is no greater feeling than knowing that when you leave your child each day, they are with someone who truly sees them for exactly who they are, celebrates the little things, encourages them through the hard things, and loves them along the way.

Ms. Veenu has become so much more than my daughter’s teacher—she has truly become a part of our village. The impact she has made goes far beyond what can be taught in a classroom. She has helped my daughter grow in confidence, independence, kindness, and so many other ways, all while creating memories that I know she will carry with her for years to come.

Childhood is made up of so many little moments, and teachers have the incredible privilege of being woven into so many of them. I know that when my daughter looks back on these years, she will remember Ms. Veenu and, most importantly, she will remember how Ms. Veenu made her feel: safe, important, capable, understood, and loved.

There are teachers you remember because they taught you something, and then there are teachers you remember because they became a meaningful part of who you were becoming. Ms. Veenu will be one of those unforgettable teachers for my daughter.

We are beyond grateful that Ms. Veenu is a part of our village, a part of my daughter’s story, and someone our family will always hold close to our hearts. Knowing that my daughter has someone like her cheering her on, loving her, and helping shape these precious early years means more to me than I could ever fully put into words.

Ms. Veenu is truly one of the special ones, and we feel so incredibly lucky that life brought her into ours. ❤️

Lightbridge Academy became a place where our daughter loved to be and didn't want to leave at the end of the day- best indicator! It was a place where she thrived as she built confidence and skills, and made connections to friends and teachers. At each classroom level, the teachers cared to know each student and what they needed, whether that was firm expectations or loving and sot guidance. The front office staff was communicative, immediately addressed concerns, and seemed to always have a pulse on the rooms.

What could we do to improve?

Hi, I think those that work in the front office could work on being a little more personable and friendly with the families. It would go a long way. One person in particular comes off very dismissive at times and it can make people uncomfortable.

What do you like about our program?

Ms. Veenu has been such a wonderful teacher to my son, Kai. She is patient, caring, and truly takes the time to recognize and encourage what makes each child special. It means so much to me knowing that Kai is in a classroom where he feels comfortable, supported, and excited to learn. I have loved watching his confidence and knowledge continue to grow while in her care.

Twenty years of teaching is an incredible accomplishment, and it is clear that Ms. Veenu has made a lasting impact on so many children and families throughout those years. We are so grateful that Kai had the opportunity to be one of them. Congratulations, Ms. Veenu, and thank you for everything you do!

With Love,
Kai and his mom, Patrice ❤️

What do you like about our program?

We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Ms. Veenu and the impact she has had on our daughter, Diana, this school year. Watching Diana’s growth under her care and guidance has been incredible. My husband and I have seen her become so much more independent, confident, expressive, and genuinely excited to learn.
At just three years old, Diana learned how to write her own name, write letters, communicate and express herself so well. Beyond the academic growth, one of the things that means the most to us is seeing how excited she is for school and for her activities. Funny enough, Diana loves the weekend homework given to her and I've had to print extra sheets for her to complete because she wants to do more and wants to show Ms. Veenu. She comes home eager to share what she has learned and done and as parents, there is nothing better than knowing your child is in an environment where she feels happy, encouraged, and excited to grow.
Ms. Veenu is truly a special teacher. She is sweet, patient, kind, nurturing, and incredibly dedicated to her students. You can see that she takes the time to know each child individually and pours so much love, attention, and effort into helping every one of them grow. Her passion for teaching is evident not only in the way she interacts with her students, but in the progress we have personally seen in Diana.
As Diana finishes her school year with Ms. Veenu, we are incredibly grateful for everything she has taught her and,= most importantly, for the care and encouragement she has given her along the way. Ms. Veenu has helped build such a beautiful foundation and love for learning in our daughter, and that is something we will always appreciate. Any child would be incredibly lucky to have Ms. Veenu as their teacher. Thank you, Ms. Veenu, for everything you have poured into Diana this year.

You have truly made a lasting impact on her and on our family.

I like this program because the staff here have activities for the babies and children; they are patient, they hold and cuddle them while feeding them their bottles, they rock them in their cribs, and they keep a close watch for when the babies need a diaper change. I really love it—I think leaving my baby here was the best decision.

How did we disappoint you and what can we do to make things right?

My child use to have Ms. Janelle as a teacher and I’m not sure what happened that led to her either quitting or getting fired but she was the best thing that happened for my child. My child learned so much in that classroom, came home and taught me what number and letter they learned for the week, how to sign that letter, and told me about other songs and books that they sang and read. She was extremely organized and sent out a weekly update about what was going on in the classroom. She greeted my child every morning and made my child feel special. Now that she is gone, my child doesn’t like to go to school. My child doesn’t come home and tell me anything that they learned, and every time I ask what was taught, my child states “I don’t know because Ms. Janelle isn’t there.” I’m extremely disappointed and upset that now it seems like the classroom is just being used as a playroom. I’m hoping once my child moves up to the new classroom, the learning will start again and the teachers will be structured, organized, and as caring as Ms. Janelle was.

What do you like about our program?

My son’s teachers seem genuinely excited to see him each morning, as does the rest of the staff that we pass in the hallways on the way in who seem to all know his name. I have access to parent vision and I’ve seen his teachers stop and take the time to comfort him when he’s upset, even carrying him around for long periods of time despite having a million other things to do. I also feel like most days they are doing activities or eating or napping almost constantly. There isn’t a lot of down time, which I feel demonstrates that he’s very frequently being interacted with, which I appreciate so much in a busy classroom.

We have had such an amazing experience at Lightbridge Academy in Cherry Hill, from the infant room all the way through preschool. The environment is warm, welcoming and fun. The teachers truly make each day special.

What has meant the most to our family is the incredible support our neurodivergent son has received. His teachers have gone above and beyond to understand him, support his individual needs, celebrate his strengths, and help him thrive. Their patience, compassion, and dedication have made such a meaningful difference in his experience.

Every day the teachers and administrators go above and beyond expectations and it is clear that they genuinely care about the children and families. We feel so fortunate to have found a school where our children are not only cared for but truly known, supported, and loved.

We cannot recommend Cherry Hill Lightbridge Academy enough! ❤️
