Lightbridge Academy in Jenkintown is such an amazing daycare facility. The entire staff is so attentive and so caring. My youngest daughter, who is 2 years old, gets excited every morning to see her teachers and her little friends and it means the world to me. My son still talks about how much he loves his "old school" and misses his friends and it is due to the fact that they create such a caring and warm community there. This is largely in part to their Director, Jacyln Hines, who is such a wonderful human being. She makes an effort to get to know every single child that joins Lightbridge and somehow manages to say "hi" and smile to everyone who passes her door. I can't say enough good things about this place. I can't imagine having sent my kids anywhere else!
I strongly feel the teachers meet each child where they’re at- not everything is one size fits all and Lightbridge Glenside understands that! My child was born very premature and picking a daycare was incredibly important. I feel supported as a parent and look to the teachers and directors to be a voice for my child when he is there. That comfort and trust cannot be measured. We love Lightbridge Glenside!
I love the team they have! Everyone is so sweet and caring. I recommend this place to every family.
We have had an absolutely wonderful experience at Lightbridge Academy. My child has been attending for over a year, and it has truly been one of the best decisions we’ve made. The environment is warm, nurturing, and engaging, and it’s clear that the teachers genuinely care about each child’s growth and happiness.
A special thank you to Mr. Syed, Mr. Oscar, and Ms. Stacey, they are incredibly loving, patient, and attentive. They create a safe and supportive space where children can learn, explore, and build confidence. My son has formed meaningful friendships and looks forward to going to school every day, which speaks volumes.
We especially love the thoughtful events the school organizes, such as “Paint and Sip,” “Parents Night Out,” and the “Read to Your Child” classroom event. These activities help build a strong sense of community and make families feel truly involved.
Overall, it has been an amazing experience. My 4-year-old loves every bit of it, and we are so grateful to be part of such a caring and dedicated school community. Highly recommend!
Structured activities, great teachers, fun events, great facilities
Flexibility and caring staff
Children are constantly learning and are always engaged and having fun
Wonderful and flexible administration. Involved and dedicated teachers. Well run and organized. Lots of fun creative and education activities. Happy atmosphere.
Light Bridge Academy in Fort Lee, New Jersey is an excellent child care center that holistically supports the needs of the children and families. It’s more than just a daycare program, it’s a community that bridges the gap between families finding child care that feels safe and secure, while also nurturing children’s developmental and academic needs.
There has been a lot of staff change over. The communication has not been great and information changes without a lot of notice. The transitions from room to room have not been going well. Also, the rooms are not very clean.
The staff at Lightbridge Academy of Matawan is fantastic. Friendly, helpful and attentive. I feel the class group sizes are moderate and doesn’t feel overwhelming. They care so much about every single child enrolled - I really believe they are one of the best.
I like the security of the building and the focus on the children’s experience
I love how comfortable my children are with their teachers
Teachers seem overwhelmed with the number of kids in the classroom.
Need more accurate tracking of food/milk intake on the portal.
Need better communication of what child supplies need to be replenished.
Improve video stream quality on cameras.
Teacher support. Teacher turnover.
Staff is great and they open very early
I want to thank everyone at Lightbridge Academy at North Brunswick from the administration to Teachers and all staff especially Ms Carol and Ms Maria at Khaki Kangaroo class they’re doing marvelous work over there my SON can write his Name,know all his colors and shapes,Alphabet and their sounds.And can sometimes tell me what is Right and Wrong that I shouldn’t do as an adult that shows how discipline the kids are and how they have devoted their time and energy to teach and coach this young kids God bless them.God bless Lightbridge Academy.
Everything
Quality of teachers is not strong. Many lack structure and organization, and often I see some getting frustrated with the children which comes out in an aggressive tone or physically, which is quite concerning. Many teachers lack passion and genuine love for the children and it’s clear that this “just a job.” In certain classes they do a poor job is staying on top of the app, we often do not know where our children are and do not get many updates and barely any photos. My children have also received many unhealthy snacks (which are not on the school snack list) despite me complaining about it to the teachers and front desk, and in another class my baby has received outside food and parents are never notified. The front desk could do a better job of regularly observing each classroom (when they’re not aware) so that they can coach, as there’s many areas that need improvement. Also there’s often no one at the front desk to an answer the phones when I’ve called, which is a huge issue god forbid there was an emergency. With there being 3 admins, at least 1 should always be in the office, especially because they’re the eyes on the front door (and many people do not scan their faces and tailgate).
We love everything that Lightbridge offers.
The teachers are amazing. My baby is always excited and ready to play when I drop her off
1. An adult not on the allowed pick up form was allowed to pick up my child. No changes were made in security and subsequently about a year later a parent took the wrong child home. There are not sufficient check in and check out security measures in place for child safety. To this day, I still see parents holding the doors open for others and people walking in without scanning their face or being checked in appropriately. Anyone could walk into this building which is frankly terrifying.
2. Despite numerous complaints to teachers my child is repeatedly given things from the “prize box” that are choking hazards (ie: gummy candy, small hard candy, mini slinky’s, mini stamps, mini clips, small beaded jewelry, all chocking hazards for a 2-3 year old)
3. The facility does not take accountability and these things continue to occur
4. Teacher turnover is too high. Whenever my child is picked up the teacher in the late afternoon shift cannot inform me how my child was that day because they were not there all day.
5. I’ve seen some teachers and aids lack patience with children, something that is crucial in this setting.
6. For these reasons my child will soon be transferring facilities
I just wanted to once again express my sincere gratitude for Miss Meghan. As Erin's time in purple cats has come to an end, we have nothing but positive things to say about Miss Meghan and how she runs her room. She greets Erin each morning with an enthusiastic "good morning" and a hug. On the tough mornings, she is always there offering up some of Erin's favorites as distractions "Elmo song, dolls, dancing, etc". I know Erin has a difficult time with transition, and change is hard for everyone, but Miss Meghan's approach has helped Erin grow and learn tremendously over the past 6 months. My husband and I are amazed how Erin is able to count, say the alphabet, speak in full sentences, identify colors, and do some of Miss Meghan's yoga moves. She absolutely loves her! We can only hope that Erin continues to thrive in the next classroom, knowing full well that Miss Meghan goes above and beyond for her "purple cats".
Overall, the teachers that my children have had have been great and loved my kids.
Each teacher forms a unique connection to your kiddo. They aren't just a number, but another member of their family.
Friends
i love how the kids are actually learning my son started as a backup care kid and when he transitioned into a full time student i saw his communication skills explode. He was actually diagnosed with a communication delay and after being in the program for 5 months he talks in 3 word sentences and can even count to 10 in spanish. Everyone is super professional and the children are treated like family. The front office girls are also amazing everyone gets a greeting hello and they are always so accommodating with special requests and making the program work for your family. I love this place and now have two kids enrolled full time and would recommend to anyone in the area looking for child care
I previously filled out a satisfaction survey indicating that I would like to speak with someone at the company about my experience and never received a response, so I’m completing this a second time in hopes that someone will reach out to me.
Friendly, warm and caring caretakers/teachers.

When parents have delays in fees payment and are working on sorting it out,It’s sickening and disrespectful for the school to keep on sending emails everyday and several times a day.
That’s so unfortunate and really made us withdraw from the school.There should be some level of tolerance.
So disappointed with your administration.
