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 can’t put into words how happy we are that we enrolled our daughter at Lightbridge in somerset. The teachers are incredibly attentive and caring, you can really tell they love their jobs. The directors are so accommodating, wonderful, and positive as well. My daughter has made significant progress since she started here in March and she is actually excited to go to school every day!
A few months ago when my husband and I decided it was time to send our kids back to school we were hesitant but after visiting Lightbridge Academy we knew it was the right move. When we drop our kids off everyday we know they will be safe, well taken care of, and that they will come home learning something new everyday. The teachers along with the technology (cameras and High Tech sanitizing equipment, and interactive screens in the classroom and multi-purpose room) make it the perfect fit. I’ve never seen teachers at a daycare/ preschool program so happy and that happiness illuminates onto the children. My son runs out the door every morning to go to school and my daughter is now very aware of the days of the week that she goes to school and couldn’t be more excited for Monday-Friday. We are so grateful for everything the administration and teachers do everyday!
