My daughters truly enjoy attending this center. They feel safe, loved, and supported every day, which gives me great peace of mind as a parent. Their teachers consistently create a warm, nurturing environment while also encouraging learning and growth. I greatly appreciate the care, patience, and dedication the staff shows, and it is comforting to know that school feels like a second home for my children. 💛
What I like most about this program is that everyone shares the same goal: meeting the needs of each child and helping them succeed. It is a fun, welcoming, and inviting environment for both children and teachers. The creativity throughout the school is wonderful and can be seen in the hallways, classrooms, and teaching practices, creating an engaging and positive atmosphere for everyone.
Passive change under new leadership!! They are doing a wonderful job!
We love a lot of things - front office who is easily approachable and listens to parents' concerns whenever needed, teachers who genuinely care for and also teach the students, beautiful and clean facilities, and a lovely outdoor space. The flexibility in tuition for hours and days is a huge plus as well. Would recommend the program to anyone looking for a daycare or preschool.
Everything! My son has always loved going to daycare and his teachers have always handled him with such love and care
My 3 kids love it there. The teachers and administration all treat you like family. We love the trust and village that we have here! Thank you for all you do for my family.

lots of steam
Since the change of ownership, we can tell the main focus of this place is to make money meeting the minimum requirements.
The teachers a great and the calendar with all the activities is awesome. And that’s without the extra curricular activities.
Teachers are wonderful. Every child gets attention and teachers are accommodating to each child's needs and wants. I love that I can watch my child live on camera at any point in the day. And I get very accurate updates on the app.
I love how the teacher's take their time to create engaging activities for the children. My daughter has been going to Lightbridge Academy since she was about 5 months old. She is now in a toddler classroom and is saying words I never thought she would be able to say. Her teachers incorporate music through out their day and I have noticed the children all engage in their centers.
We are very happy at Lightbridge. We love the teachers and care they give to our kids. While I wish the teacher rotation was less frequent, I understand this is a challenge across most daycares. When my daughter didn’t have a consistent teacher and was being shuffled around different classrooms, they took my concerns seriously and prioritized her to always go to OGs where she was happier and had friends. We also love the activities they do and outdoor play area!
There are so many things about Lightbridge Academy that we love. First off the teachers are amazing! Ms.Manju and Ms.Andisha are absolutely wonderful. The kindness and care that they put into teaching is exactly what every parent would want for their child's first school experience to be. They are so amazing and have really prepared my son for kindergarten. They also are on top of making sure as a parent I know what's going on in the classroom and where my son needs extra help. The communication is really great and I feel like I am always kept in the loop. I can not speak highly enough about them both. Then there is the front office. It is such a joy coming in every morning and being created by such wonderful women. Again the time and energy they put in to creating a positive preschool environment does not go unnoticed.i always feel heard if there is ever a concern a or a question and there is always a follow up to make sure that everything has been answered or taken care of. This school has been one of the best preschool experiences we have ever had and I am forever grateful to this wonderful staff for everything they have done for my son and his education.
I appreciate the ease of communication between staff and family. I like the programming for the kids. I appreciate the photos and access to video. I also like that there is not a staggered time for entry/exit that allows for flexibility in drop off/pick up.
The Pre-K program is both educational and fun! Lead teacher and TA for the pre-K classroom are wonderful! Classroom is organized very well and kept clean.
The teachers are caring, well-trained, professional and hard-working!
Ms. Dominique is wonderful, and the facility is clean. We love the curriculum and all the fun activities they do together.
The teachers and staff are so caring, kind, and attentive. We appreciate the great communication and the safe and nurturing environment they provide.
After multiple conversations and no improvements were made I doubt anything can be done. The year is over and we will be leaving for another school. My daughter watched TV and did no projects the entire year. Teachers constantly changing no direction no instruction. A complete disappointment
Great staff, clean place and kids are happy
Each teacher has taken the time to genuinely get to know my daughter. She speaks of her teachers like they are members of the family, making her receptive to learning from them. Each member of the team has been positive, open, and calm.
They love my baby. Anytime I check on her, I feel she is safe and protected. Everyone knows her and she is always happy and taken care of when I pick her up. She has been exposed to so many learning tools and she surprises me every day.
Teachers and staff are the best!
The teachers are fantastic and provide the best care for my children!
Would love to see a decrease in turnover of teachers. Eliana’s class specifically has had numerous teachers since the start of the year which is difficult for kids, as they form relationships and bond with those teachers. I’ve also noticed a lack of structure in the classroom with these shifts and not the same environment as when the year started with Mr Josh and Ms Melinda. I do spend time watching on the app and notice that the kids are spending much more time doing their own thing, either on the carpet or just running around instead of sitting down and learning as they did at the start of the year.
My daughter feels so loved and welcomed by the amazing staff at Lightbridge! We love the whole team there!
Curriculum, friendly staff, flexibility
Everything! My son has never been more happy to go to school and hang out with his friends/classmates. The teachers love him and he loves them right back. Thank you for putting this mama at ease.
What I like most about Lightbridge Academy is the strong sense of community and care. The program creates a warm, welcoming environment where children feel safe, supported, and excited to learn each day. The teachers and leadership team genuinely build relationships with families and make communication a priority, which helps create trust and consistency.
I also appreciate the balance between education and nurturing. The curriculum is engaging, developmentally appropriate, and encourages learning through hands-on experiences, creativity, and play. There is a clear focus on social-emotional growth in addition to academics, which helps children build confidence and independence.
Another standout is the professionalism and dedication of the staff. You can tell the team works hard to maintain high standards, keep families informed, and create meaningful experiences for the children year-round.
The staff at Lightbridge Academy in Frederick, MD are amazing! They are friendly, helpful, organized, and have been phenomenal at taking care of my child. I am extremely grateful for them.
