I know and have seen firsthand that it is more common for people to voice complaints and concerns…read morethan to praise and acknowledge achievement. While I, too have voiced certain concerns with the center about my children, I want to also acknowledge how pleased I am with my sons growth and stability in his current class (Blue Horses). Miss Maria and Miss Amanda (admin) have both been extremely supportive and kind about hearing our concerns that we have had in the past, and for that I thank them. But I would be remiss if I didn't acknowledge the amazing job that Miss Haley has done with our son. She has been patient, kind, and extremely supportive of him. I know how challenging most 3 year olds can be, and he is NO exception. But Miss Haley has treated him so fairly and I have seen nothing but growth in him since she has been with Lightbridge. He has learned invaluable life skills about socialization that I would have never been able to teach him at home, and his academic progress has sky-rocketed. You have a very special/professional teacher in Miss Haley and I just want to give her the recognition she deserves. Thank you ALL for creating a safe and nurturing place for my children to learn and grow.

Great School! Awesome Owners! Amazing Admin Team and Teachers are the Best of the Best!!!!read more

She has moved through 3 classrooms so far, based on stages and age groups, and has loved every one of her teachers. She is learning a great deal there while having fun. She loves the art projects she creates, talks about her friends and the books they have listened to and discussed at story time, and even came home last month counting to 10 in Spanish (at 2 1/2). They also have wonderful special visitors like Mr. Scott (whom my daughter adores). I can not say enough good things about the owners, Christine and Bill, and their wonderful staff of caring teachers. They genuinely seem to love each and every child there. I would recommend that anyone in the area searching for child care check out Goddard WLB.

Not having the staff to supplement another who may be absent shouldn't dictate my 2yr old and others that age to be blended in with the 6yr olds for the day as if it's frequent or normal! The underlying issues clearly lie within the staff and not knowing their roles or even the owners not applying a more complete structured system focused on the aspects of child development and welfare that can be applied for assurance. Not to mention the amount of unassured instances I've personally deal with from the unawareness and uncertifed staff that oversees my childs day. When asked what do they have to say for themselves...mostly unavailable or speak with a lower directive or deny the allegations that face them! Meanwhile my child suffers psychologically and her behaviors are becoming more rambunctious where I have to constantly try and restore the balance that is taught at home! They must be justice
