Lightbridge Academy

"Mrs. Jeannette, Mrs. Jeraldi and Mrs. Susan are absolutely the best ! My daughter loves them and is always looking forward to seeing /hugging them ! They truly embrace our children as one of their own ! Their caring nature is admirable!"

"We have been part of the Lightbridge (Westfield) family for 8+ years now. We were part of the initial class when we enrolled our daughter in 2015. I am sad to say we will moving on from Lightbridge this June when my son ages out and will attend kindergarten. The foundation my children received from Lightbridge Academy is second to none. The greatly succeed at educating the whole child. They provided both of my children with a great academic foundation, a true sense of morals, how to be a good friend, and overall life lessons I truly believe they would not have received anywhere else. The owner (Sue Romano) is a hands-on owner who cares about her families and treats them as her own. She has gone out of her way numerous times to ensure our childrens Lightbridge experience was the best it could possibly be. We have been pleased with all of the teachers my children have encountered throughout the years. We can not say enough great things about Lightbridge Academy of Westfield and recommend it to any family looking for childcare."

"Our son started at LBA Westfield when he was 3 months old and we loved every single classroom and teacher he had! I changed jobs and my husband works an hour and ten minutes away so we decided to look for a comparable daycare closer to my job. We went and toured a few in the area and decided upon one after going back three to four times to make sure everything felt right. We really loved our LBA Westfield family and were nervous to make this change, especially putting our son through the change. We finally decided that we were comfortable with the more convenient daycare and switched at the beginning of the year. Fast forward 5 weeks and we have decided to come back to LBA Westfield. The director and assistant director left the new daycare on the same day about a month after we switch with no advance warning or much of an explanation. The assistant director did find another job, but there wasn’t much information about the director. We were shocked since everything had gone so smoothly during the registration process. Since then my husband and I have not be comfortable with the level of care and are bringing our son back to what we already knew (but now really know) is the beat team of individuals that work together to help us take care of our son in the best way possible."

"This was my first time using this center for my 6 year old. I did not have a current physical on file which could have been frustrating and they could have told me to go pick up the documents needed then return and they did not. They were extremely patient with me and I was able to get the physical faxed over. My son is very verbal and says there wasn't any issue in the center. They sent me pictures of my sons activities throughout the day, he seemed to be involved with the other children he has never met before. I have nothing bad at all to say. I would use this center again."

"My son has been attending full days for 2 years now and I have nothing but great things to say about this school. The facility is brand (3 years) new and immaculate. The classrooms are very clean, well laid out and stocked with tons of age appropriate educational toys and equipment. The director (Kerry) is very hands-on and makes sure to learn the names of not only the kids, but the parents as well. Every morning my son goes into the office to “reveal” whatever is on his shirt that morning and gives Sue (the branch owner) their secret handshake. All the teachers are fantastic! My wife and I have been thoroughly and equally pleased with each. They are well trained, nurturing and constantly promote independence. The days are packed with learning through a wide variety of arts and crafts, song and dance, science experiments and group and individual play. They also offer in-house third-party extra-curricular programs during the regular day (i.e., gymnastics, soccer, music, etc.). There are two cameras in each room and one for the playground. The monitoring service (via app or website) is offered for a small fee. Meals are provided as well. Daily activity, meals, potty and nap times, photos and videos are transmitted to the parents through the Tadpoles app which helps to remove some of the distance for working parents. All in all, the school is wonderful and my child is receiving a top rank preschool education while having a fun-filled day. This school was my first choice after site tours of the local 5 "similar" schools, but ultimately, my decision came down to the children's faces during my visit. They never lie. If you are fortunate enough to secure a spot here, I highly recommend it!"
