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 just wanted to say a big thank you for the amazing Japanese and Spanish classes Ms. Zoya in Blue Horses have been teaching my kid. My husband and I were totally surprised when he started counting numbers in Japanese! (After seeing our surprising faces he went on to "show off" his Spanish) It's really cool to see him picking up new languages like that. Thanks for making learning so much fun for the little ones!
We have been at Lightbridge since September 2021. Our kids have loved it there and the staff has been amazing, especially the director Ms. Elizabeth. Definitely would recommend Lightbridge to any family looking for a full time daycare!
via YelpWe've had a really positive experience at Lightbridge Academy in Millburn, NJ for the past two years. Our son loves going to "school" and he has learned SO much, especially this past year in the preschool program. The program/curriculum continues to exceed our expectations and our son has grown so much socially, emotionally and developmentally. We are so incredibly grateful for our lead teacher, Miss Roy, and the amazing care she has demonstrated this past year ensuring our son (who has a severe peanut allergy) is able to participate in the special activities each week with safe food options. Miss Roy is a patient, loving and thoughtful presence in our son's life (& ours!) and we're also grateful to have wonderful Assistant Teachers (special thanks to Miss Chesania, Miss Marie, Miss Tiffany and Miss Karina) working alongside of and learning from Miss Roy.
