I do not recommend Lightbridge Academy based on my experience with their Plainsboro location. My…read morechild, who has developmental delays and feeding-related medical needs, was enrolled here. Despite multiple conversations, written documentation, and coordination with her therapists--including Early Intervention providers visiting the school--the staff consistently failed to meet her basic safety needs. On her final day, I discovered she had been given water by a teacher who was unaware of her feeding plan. My child has documented swallowing difficulties and is not permitted to drink water at daycare. I received two completely different explanations from staff: one teacher (Ms. Subarna) claimed in writing that she had not been given water at all, while another (Ms. Corrine) told me she had. After I raised the concern, the Brightwheel log was altered to remove the mention of water. This wasn't just a mistake--it was a serious communication breakdown with conflicting accounts and document tampering. Before I even arrived to pick her up, I watched via the classroom camera as my child picked up another child's water bottle, put it in her mouth, then handed it back. No adult was present at the table. She could have choked or aspirated. No one informed me of this--I saw it myself. The administrators later admitted it happened and described it as "unacceptable" and promised to retrain staff. But that's not good enough when you're talking about a child's medical safety. This was not an isolated issue. On another occasion, I watched via the cameras as my child was left unsupervised at a table with another child who had a cracker. She took the cracker and put it in her mouth. At the time, she did not eat solids and this posed a clear choking hazard. No one notified me--it was something I discovered on my own. Incidents like this were repeated and avoidable, and reflect a serious failure of basic supervision protocols. Throughout our time there, we experienced: * Staff regularly failing to follow her feeding therapy plan * Teachers giving her bottles after purée against clear written instructions * Another child sleeping on her crib sheet, and her sleeping on another child's bedding * Ongoing lack of support despite her being diagnosed with global developmental delays * Frequent turnover of teachers, many of whom were unfamiliar with her accommodations * Repeated miscommunications, lack of consistency, and disregard for therapist recommendations Even more troubling, the head teacher of the infant classroom repeatedly told me my child was meeting her milestones--despite our child receiving Early Intervention services and having a formal diagnosis of global developmental delay. After I shared the findings of her speech-language pathologist, this teacher admitted they have "more information and training for toddlers not meeting milestones," and that they "don't have much training on infants with delays." That is unacceptable. That is their job. They are entrusted with the care and developmental monitoring of infants, and this admission reveals a lack of basic preparedness and staff training that puts children at risk. When I brought these concerns to the director, Ms. Krupa, I was told there are "tons of other great schools in Plainsboro." Rather than taking immediate responsibility, I was subtly encouraged to find a better fit. That's exactly what I did. This will be documented with the state. My child should not have had to be the reason they finally decided to 'do better.' If your child has special needs, medical concerns, or requires any accommodations--I urge you to look elsewhere. I hope no other child gets hurt before real changes are made.

Its amazing to see how they bring smiles to all the kids as soon as they enter the daycare.

Ms. Debby coached him into a better person that gave me a good example of how to treat my kids at home too. Another thing that I loved was the family events. Man those are memorable and I am so glad I got my son to experience great father's day, mother's, family nights, picnics, and farm outings.

Care provider by infant head teacher = 4/5 Care provider by…read moreassistant teachers = 2/5 Communication with director = 1/5 Cleanliness = 1/5 Overall center = 2/5 My son was 2 months old when we started care here. We left after one month. Negatives: - Did not attempt to put my son back to sleep when he woke up and argued with me that it is normal for a 2 month old to only nap 2 hours during the day. - We would frequently find him strapped to a rocker crying and with the assistant teachers ignoring him. At 2 months old, a child is not crying simply because he wants attention. - Took him outside in almost 90 degree weather wearing 2 layers even though we told the staff that he had an inside layer on when we dropped him off. - They will not try to feed your child for more than 15 minutes so I would advise you to tell them to feed on demand. - It took 2 to 3 weeks to get access cards and we only got it finally because we caught the director on the same day that a parent had returned cards. - I saw a kid wallowing in his vomit two times and had to point it out to a teaching assistant. Positives: - The infant head teacher pays close attention to her kids. But she is not always there and she knows that her assistants are not good. - I appreciated their milestone review of my son which was helpful. - Not having to pay for diapers or wipes is a plus and receiving a discount for bringing in breast milk is a plus.

Special thanks to Miss Quaneace and the very involving and responsive owners Kevin and Sharon Port! We were concerned our daughter couldn't speak much English when she first joined, but that concern quickly went away as it was almost a magic to not only see her English skills improving noticeably, but more importantly her getting more and more comfortable socially everyday. Three months later, she was almost a fluent bilingual speaker! We know there was no magic, it was Miss Q and other teachers' individualized attention and help that took a long way in our daughter's development. If you only expect Chidlren Central to be a place to drop off your kids, you will be quickly (and positively) surprised you are wrong. There are so many well thought-out curriculums, socialization, creative movements and learning opportunities that go well beyond just a child care facility. From music, art, physical development to a third language (for us:)), these well structured opportunities really stimulated our daughter's early interests in different areas - now she sings songs to us and plays drum set everyday and enjoys drawing, dancing and all kinds of sports. We had to move to another state due to job changes. Our daughter stayed until the very last day we lived in the area and she missed her teachers and friends so much there. We strongly recommend Children Central to other parents who are looking for a school that's their kid's extended family!

I have a 6 months baby, she is always calm, she makes a lot of sounds before she bursts into cries, and she loves to smile. After going to the daycare for just 5 days, she cries so loud whenever she needs attention, she is afraid of people, and she lost her smile. The first two days going to daycare was good, the assistant director and the teachers all said she smiles a lot. Just some drool rashes which I thought maybe okay, I can't expect the teachers to wipe her all the time. However, when I pickup my baby during the third day, I was a bit early and arrived at 4:50pm. I hear a baby crying so loud and so desperately and that sounded like mine! When I get to the infant room, I realized it is my baby crying, left alone in the rocker, and no one was attending to her. Only when the teacher see me, she picked up my baby and handed her to me. Her eyes were all red, and she smelled liked poop (I later checked she did poop and was not changed). I asked how long has she been crying, she said "just a few minutes", like it's not a big deal. I then went to talk to the director, she showed me the camera from 4:30pm. I don't know what time she was put in the rocker, but for the entire 20mins on the video, she is in that rocker with no one attending to her. There camera has no sound and the rocker is not facing the camera, so there is no evidence that she was crying the entire time. This was my first red flag. When I got home I tried to search for the teacher's bio on the daycare's website, because I have not seen her before. That's when I noticed they are not infant classroom teachers. When I first toured the daycare, it was stilled operated by its owner, there were 7 babies and 3 teachers. But the owner later stepped down and hired a director to operate and the facility expanded so fast and by the time I enroll, there are 16 babies in the infant class (I asked the teacher because I see many babies). This is my second red flag. The fourth day she went to daycare, her got home with a cut on her arm. It was almost 2 inch long, and an entire flesh was missing from the cut. It is also very wide and cannot possibly be a scratch from a baby herself. I asked for an accident report but had no response. I called child abuse hotline and had a social worker coming over, that's when the director gave us a report saying the teachers don't know. This time the director refused to show anyone the camera, so I still don't know what happened. This is the largest red flag and I withdrew her from the facility. I lost my first month tuition, the deposit, and the daycare did not return my baby's supplies. And it has been 10 days since the cut, she still has a scar on the arm and when I touch it, I can still feel the dent (so you can tell how deep it was). Parents, stay away from this place for your child's sake.
