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
I have had both of my children at the Matawan location for over a year and could not be happier with the curriculum and their staff! Even after my oldest turned three and was offered a placement for free pre-k placement I advocated to keep him in lightbridge placement. As a parent nothing is more important than knowing that your children are safe, loved, and being challenged/guided to meet more than the recommended developmental milestones. I am in the education field myself so I feel like my review should weigh heavier than most haha. They understand how crazy the morning rush is and pick up and even offer express pick up options! They really get it!
I wanted to take the time to share that my daughter and I have had a wonderful experience at this LightBridge. We have been attending since 2021, I am one of those parents that have questions all the time (lol) and I am so grateful at how patient the staff is. The teachers have really taken the time to learn about my child and all her personalities. We have had a great learning experience between the teachers We have had. The school is always clean, there are so many events for the kids but also the parents. Ms Karina the director has been stellar to work with, she is honest and very fair and always knows what to do or say when I have a concern. I would truly recommend this location and we will miss LightBridge when kindergarten starts!
