When we visited Lightbridge this past winter we really loved the environment and the staff, and we were thrilled that Jaclyn was able to get us spots for our twins for the following year. I was 13 weeks with twins at the time. We were so relieved to have gotten the daycare checked off! Flash forward, my twins are here, in the NICU, and I have to start preparations for them despite the fact that they can't be home yet. I had previously tried emailing Lightbridge to confirm and received no response. I finally had time to call and they let me know that they do not, in fact, have room for our twins. We are starting the daycare search over, which will likely be absolutely impossible at this point, considering there are two of them. We're left without child care, with twins in the NICU, incredibly stressed out. Do yourself a favor and get in writing that they will have a spot for your child so you don't end up like us. read more

My husband and I have a 3 year old who has been a part of the Lightbridge family since he was 16 months. As new parents, we searched for a Day Care that provided structure, love and welcomed diversity!! Transitioning from the Whippany, NJ location to the Jenkinstown, PA location was made seamless by the Directions and Owners (even with COVID). Our son loves his "new" school and we love the staff here! I randomly talk about the school to parents looking for school where their child can grow and learn, but most of all be HAPPY! Thanks Lightbridge!!! read more

We have been with Lightbridge Academy in Glenside since the second week they opened in March 2020. We are now on our third room as my child has grown from an infant to a crazy toddler. The team is excellent. The administration is warm and fantastic. Welcoming every child by name. Covid threw everyone a curve ball but we have been so thrilled with the precautions and safety measures they have taken to allow my husband and i to continue our very demand jobs and get our little one the interaction they love. Can not recommend them enough and do so every chance we get when a new mom asks for a recommendation. read more

I cannot say enough positive things about Lightbridge Academy. My son had difficulty in 2 previous preschools. From the moment I met with Mr. Tom who reassured me they work with kids with ADHD, I felt relieved. My son now loves school! He is excited to go. He would cry when we tried to have him write his name or even color. Now he is excited to show us what he can write, all of his artwork, and will draw on his own. I contribute his accomplishments to the amazing teachers at Lightbridge Academy. What a difference they have made in my son's life, who is now thriving academically. read more

I found Lightbridge Academy while looking for daycares for my daughter online. There was one in Jenkintown which is close to where we live and made an appointment for a tour, through their customer service reps in NJ. I was scheduled for a tour at 1030 and when I arrived the lady at the front desk answered the door. She didn't have a mask on, appeared overwhelmed and had 3 children in a stroller in her office. She proceeded to say she had a call out, was on a call and couldn't complete the scheduled tour. I was a little taken aback because no one had called to reschedule. She went onto say she would call me in the afternoon to do a virtual tour. I never heard back. After two days I decided to follow up with their customer service and communicated with Heather who was very professional. She apologized and offered to reschedule the tour. The tour was rescheduled for the following week at 1400. At 1350 as we're pulling in I received a call stating they had a call out. She was covering lunches and couldn't compete the tour. Again I understand times are hard, but a courtesy call in the morning would have been great. My time is valuable too. She offered to call me at 6pm for a virtual tour. I was taken aback by her unprofessionalism and condescending attitude. Needless to say she never called as scheduled. We have since moved on and found another daycare. We were very disappointed in how unprofessional she was and hope that is not a reflection on how the company is run. We will definitely not be using this daycare. read more
