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
My son started at Lightbridge accidentally. My job uses them for backup care and the plan was for me to use them while the foster care agency situates our voucher. Long story short, we'll be staying at Lightbridge. From the moment we walked in, Joyce put me at ease. My son hadn't been away from me for more than a couple hours at that point and honestly, they did everything they could to help him transition. If you're looking for a nurturing place for your child, look no further. Everyone has truly been amazing!
T.H. and I enrolled our son and are happy to say it has been a great decision. Our son has excelled here thanks to great management and the staff. The teachers are kind and patient. The managers listen well and make adaptations on the fly.
