We couldn't be happier with our experience at Lightbridge Academy! The admin team and staff are…read morealways welcoming, professional, and go above and beyond to support families. The entire facility is spotless and so well cared for, which gives us such peace of mind every day. One of the things that truly sets Lightbridge apart is how every teacher, not just the ones in our child's classroom, knows each student by name and takes the time to connect with them. It feels like one big family, and that level of care makes such a difference. A special shout-out to the Orange Giraffes room -- Ms. Alison, Ms. Dana, and Ms. Gina are absolutely wonderful! Their kindness, patience, and dedication shine through in everything they do. They've created such a loving, fun, and safe environment where the kids thrive. We are so grateful for the entire Lightbridge team and would highly recommend this school to any family looking for a nurturing, clean, and supportive daycare.

The Director, Marissa, is extremely hands on and involved in every level. Every time I come in she isn't at her desk but in one of the class rooms jumping in and getting involved.

We love this school! We have sent both of our children here. I recommend to all my friends!read more

Do not recommend this place for first time daycare kids…read more Neither the teachers nor the director is prepared to handle new kids. Will let the kid cry it out in their chair starting from Day 1. No compassion showed towards kids, nor the ability to teach kids. They can only handle daycare ready kids. So if your kid is new, be prepared to pick them up by 10am, since the crying new kid is disturbing the other children. Also, have backup child care, since the school can remove the child with no notice whatsoever.

Can't say enough about the great care that Miss Alice, Miss Katie and the team provided for my kids. Especially through the pandemic creating a safe, clean and fun environment for all. Weekly themes and activities. Don't think they promote as much as they do for the kids such as bringing in external music, drama and sports programs, holiday shows, family days, and summers filled with daily fun activities including Monday guests like petting zoos, magicians, ice cream and water ice trucks etc, sports days, fun house/water slides and field trips to places like the zoo, aquarium, legoland and so much more. Also a great community of families that attend too. Check out their FB page to get a glimpse of some of the activities and energy. If you're in the Oaks area, they have a sister school that is also great and has been around for some time! We spent a summer there prior to WELC's opening!

Our son had been attending their school since birth. We felt like they were family and had worked…read morewith us and us with them. Our son started having some behavior issues at first we were told it was a phase. Even our family doctor thought it was a normal development phase. When the Daycare finally told us they felt his behavior wasn't a phase and needed professional help we started the process to get him an assessed and behavioral help from professionals. Literally the day we informed him that he had been approved for, and would be getting assistance they kicked him out because they felt he was a safety risk. however curiously during that phone conversation where we were telling them he was approved the admin stated that if the assistance was full wrap around coverage then it wasn't good enough (note wrap around is only for 2.5 hours a day and only given if the rarest of situations.) The professionals that had assessed him in their school was stunned when we informed them and literally put in writing she didn't believe he was a safety risk at all. We even tried talking to the teacher and she just told us she couldn't get involved. There was no meetings, no conversations, no warnings, there was no documentation to prove their claim. there was just a letter in his folder that day saying as of that Friday he was no longer allowed to attend. this was on a Wednesday He literally cried all night and then everyday for the next couple weeks when he couldn't go back and see his friends. We have struggled since then because he just wants to go back and doesn't want anything to do with his new daycare and it has made working on his issues even more difficult. Even now several months later we are still stunned and confused. And why we still don't know because the administrator of the site and the owner have refused to communicate with us in any fashion.

They offer: college educated teachers, they have four stars with the Keystone Stars Program, they use creative curriculum at its highest level incorporating field trips and guest speakers in various occupations who come and speak to the children. This isn't your typical Child Care Center. This is an Academy that develops brilliant children. My children never want to leave and I am always impressed with what they have learned each day. Whether your child is 6 weeks old or 13 years old there is plenty of activities to keep their minds occupied. Don't waste your time going to other Day Cares, Step by Step is the place for intelligent minds and caring teachers and their rates are very reasonable.

The staff is absolutely wonderful--caring, attentive, and truly treat my child like their own. They go above and beyond the standard curriculum, offering so many enriching activities and hosting multiple events throughout the year that actively engage parents and showcase the children's creativity. The outdoor play area is fantastic, with a large grassy space that gives the kids plenty of room to run and explore, plus fenced-in play areas with fun, developmentally appropriate play equipment and toys. Every morning when we arrive (right at opening due to work schedules), the staff is already there with smiles on their faces--and so is my son! He's excited to go each day, which speaks volumes. The facility also makes safety a top priority. Access is secure, with entry controlled by keycode and monitored by a ring camera--staff greet parents at the door and let them in individually. When someone other than me picks up my son, staff verifies they are on the approved list and checks ID without fail. I really appreciate that level of diligence, care, and security. Another big plus is the use of the Brightwheel app. It makes daily updates seamless--check-in/out is easy, and I receive updates and photos throughout the day that give me peace of mind and help me feel connected to what my son is doing. My son is absolutely thriving here! Enrolling him in Li'l Tykes has been one of the best decisions I've made. Since he started daycare, I wanted him to be in a place that feels like he's with family. We found it at Li'l Tykes! He'll be here until he's ready to go to kindergarten! I cannot recommend Li'l Tykes enough for anyone looking for quality and reliable childcare.

I was told directly by the enrollment office " Kathy" that the school "can't survive" by offering financial aid, which was very discouraging. After applying for financial aid, I never received a formal decision, even though I was told it had been mailed. Instead, I received a random refund amount with no explanation. Throughout the process, the enrollment officer frequently changed her statements and would not acknowledge the inconsistencies. To be clear: I believe the school itself is strong, and the teachers seem genuinely dedicated and hardworking. But the enrollment process, especially my experience with the enrollment officer, was disorganized and unprofessional. If you choose to apply, I strongly recommend documenting everything and keeping all communication in writing.

They allow the students to explore; they encourage them to speak up & speak out; they take an interest in them inside and outside of school & they really foster a culture of diversity and understanding of differences. Prior to coming to Walden, my son attended K-1st grade at a school that just wasn't up to par academically & where we felt our son got lost in the shuffle. Here, everyone knows him by name, makes an effort to know us as parents and really digs deep to understand how they can best help each individual child. I especially love that the way they teach isn't just by lecture, sitting at a desk staring at a chalkboard, but through hands-on projects, exploration & using sensory and tactile items to accommodate different learning styles.
