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.

via YelpGreat school! The children learn so much and the staff are all wonderful. They really love the children and it shows. Very clean and there are a lot of activities throughout the month for the children as well as for the parent's to be a part of too. Their curriculum is excellent as well! Lightbridge is the BEST!!!
via YelpOur daughter has been at Lightbridge since January, and it was the best decision we could've made! All of the teachers that she has had and truly any staff members that she has had any interactions with have shown her so much love. We cannot say enough about how thankful we are to have such an amazing place to send our daughter to!
