Description
Toddlers are quickly learning so much about the world around them, developing faster than almost any other age group. They are all about speed — learning to sing, talk and run all at once. Lightbridge Academy’s Toddler Program is designed to make the most of every one of their fast-paced milestones. Our curriculum specifically addresses toddlers’ rapid growth and development by catering to their readiness cues, with the older toddler curriculum focused on preparing for preschool and beyond. When they display interest or signs of emerging skills, we can encourage them to move to the next challenge.

Description
Preschool provides the freedom and opportunity for children to develop and grow in independence and confidence. An engaged child learns! While having fun, they aren’t even aware they are developing reading and math skills. In addition, your child will gain the social skills necessary to succeed in Pre-K and beyond. Through small and large group instruction and activities, teachers focus on every child as an individual — enabling them to gain knowledge and thrive. Our proprietary Seedlings Early Childhood Education Curriculum utilizes theme-based lessons to strengthen your child’s emerging skills in reading, writing, science, technology and math. Additionally, we help prepare your child for the structured learning environment of a kindergarten classroom through teacher-guided instruction and child-led exploration focused on effective communication, the ability to follow instruction and how to work cooperatively with peers.

Parent Reviews
Making a decision about childcare is really hard, but I am so happy with our decision to go to Lightbridge. Everyone is like family there. The directors love my children, the teachers love my children, and I trust that they are happy and safe there. I love that there is a curriculum, each week is a different theme. They learn Spanish and do yoga and exercise and learn the basics like letters, numbers, writing, etc. I love that there are cameras and you can watch what is going on throughout the day. Every teacher knows the children's names even if they aren't in that teacher's class. They take any concerns seriously. The facility is clean and neat and welcoming. No daycare is perfect, I assure you, but Lightbridge is perfect for us and I'm more than happy with the care my children are getting there.
I have two kids in Lightbridge since they were in the infant room. They love their teachers and friends, and are so happy here. Ms. Rose, Ms. T, Ms. Gabbie and Ms. Emily love my kids and it shows. Each week has a theme with lessons and related activities. My oldest was a pandemic baby with delayed speech and his language exploded once he joined Ms. Gabbie's class. They also nap better here than when they are at home! It's reassuring to be able to check the app to see live video and updates throughout the day. We are very pleased with the quality of care and support at Lightbridge.
Sending your first baby to daycare is tough! You miss them and hope they are in good hands. I am so happy our neighbor recommended Lightbridge as they made the transition a lot easier than expected.
