We really love all of the teachers and staff so far. They seem to genuinely care about each of the students which puts me at ease as a first time parent. They do some really fun activities as well, like the classroom parties and projects! My son really likes his teachers as well and you can see his development from being enrolled!Our son started at 1 year old and he loves it! You can really see that he enjoys socializing with others. While he’s still learning the mechanics of being in a classroom setting, you can definitely see those skills developing.He loves Ms Estrella and Ms Cat, his main teachers! They are both so caring and they seem to have a lot of fun with their students. He also got a chance to hang out with Ms Juwell at a Parents Night Out event and now she’s one of his favorite people.I’m so glad we found Lightbridge Academy in Whippany! It’s close to home and work for me, and everyone has been amazing!

My son has been going to Lightbridge Academy for a year, we absolutely love it! He is always treated with so much love and care by the entire staff, especially by his teachers Ms. Alli, Ms. Arti, Ms. Iqra, and Ms. Diana. Sandra and Tara always great you so warmly and are always so accommodating. We are so happy to have such wonderful people caring for my son and my husband and I can work with the peace of mind, he is being well taken care of!

I really love Lightbridge. Specially Miss Sophie? She is the kind of teacher all parents wish to have for their children. My child is so lucky to have you; thank you! You deserve a thank you for all the effort, energy, and time spent teaching children. I am very grateful to you for all the dedication and hard work you put into your work.

My child is in Orange Giraffes with Ms. Marie Anne. Ms. Marie Anne is very knowledgeable in child development and is very much committed to stimulated her students intellectually. Ms. Marie Anne is an asset to the children and an asset to Lightbridge Academy. Ms. Marie Anne has my vote for teacher of the year!

We moved our son from another preschool and it was the best decision we ever made for him. Words simply cannot express how grateful we are to the staff at Lightbridge for changing the course of my son's success and for creating and nurturing a loving relationship between him and his teacher and his school. Miss Sophie is hands down the most amazing teacher and we owe so much to her and what she does every day for our son and so many other children. She is warm, nurturing, enthusiastic, creative, kind, sweet, compassionate, patient, and accommodating. Our son feels so safe being cared for by her and we feel so secure in how she manages her classroom. She is exactly the kind of teacher I would have hand picked for my young child in these incredibly important and formative years and we feel so blessed that she mirrors the positive values and lessons we instill at home. Miss Sophie and Mr. Devon make an amazing team and we couldn't be happier at Lightbridge!

We love lightbridge academy. The staff, management and the teachers are doing a great job. Ms Marie Anne and the team are doing a wonderful job in taking care of the kids. The classrooms are maintained so tidely and clean. The teachers are taking care in every aspect be it in the playground or potty or with meals or with the naps. Ms Marie Anne and the team are doing a great job in helping my son with special needs. The watchmegrow app allows you to keep an eye on the kids and check whats going on. The daily activities and the day to day photo uploads helps us realize that the kids are in good hands. we recommend LBA.

My daughter has been coming here since she was 13 months old and while we love all the teachers she’s had, our favorite has definitely been Miss Marie Anne❤️ she’s firm but sweet, she’s always smiling, her patience is her best attribute and it is so obvious she really loves her lightbridge kids. Miss Marie and miss Iqra have been with my daughter for the longest stretch and they are a dynamic duo, they are so caring and happy and we couldn’t be happier with them!!

This review is specifically for our nominated Teacher of the Year, Ms Sophie! This particular location has multiple teachers up for the award (across all LightBridge locations) so that should tell you a lot about the caliber of care they put into their children.Ms. Sophie probably drives past 80 daycares on her daily commute to our school and stays at this location because of her love for the kids here. She comes in with an empathetic, kind approach which is perfect for our age group (3-4 year olds) and is extremely patient and holds strong on rules. I adore her style - its never "no" but rather, "later", "Let's do this instead" or some other type of positive redirection.Ms. Sophie always has an upbeat and excited demeanor, which gets the children excited to learn. Whether its sign language, Spanish, math, or space - we've seen curriculum come to life over and over again each week.I work in HR, and know how important retaining your best talent is. Ms. Sophie is one of the best I've ever seen. I hope Lightbridge continues to acknowledge and celebrate all she brings to their team - we stay here because of the caliber of teachers, and Ms. Sophie is an example of a true professional.

Lightbridge Academy has nothing but wonderful and amazing teachers. One in especially Ms.Sophie. When my 4 yr old son started at LB he only knew spanish, but that didn't stop Ms.Sophie from being the kind , patient , loving teacher she is. She went out of her way to start learning spanish and encouraging spanish in her class. My 4yr old is officially bilingual and I can't thank Ms.Sophie & Mr. Devon enough for being so patient and working with him. I knew I could trust them since the first day when my son didn't cry . All he talks about know at home is Ms.Sophie and his friends. Thank you for being such an amazing loving and caring teacher Ms.Sophie ❤️

Lightbridge of Whippany has cared for both of my kids, now 4 & 3. My 3yo is currently in Orange Giraffes(OG) and Ms. Marie Anne is the head teacher. She was the head teacher when my 4yo was in OG. Ms. Marie potty trained them both and in her class their vocabulary exploded! She’s so sweet and my kids both love going to see her every morning. Thanks LB for hiring Ms. Marie!

Lightbridge is absolutely amazing! Extremely safe and welcoming. There are always new activities happening weekly and they offer many extra curriculum sports/music for the kids. We loved that we had the choice to add on the "watch me grow" cameras, allowing us to peek in throughout the day to see what our child was doing. But what truly makes Lightbridge special are the teachers, my daughter was lucky to have Ms. Jenna for two years and we couldn't be more grateful for all her care and hardwork. She is absolutely amazing and the kids adore her. She is truly an asset. Will be forever thankful to her. You won't regret enrolling your child here!

My son had a wonderful experience at Lightbridge Academy . The entire staff was wonderful! They always made him feel welcome and greeted him each time he entered the room which made him feel special. The teachers keep the Children engaged all day long. In addition the school is very clean which is wonderful to see.

Our son has been at LBA Whippany since he was 7 months old. Starting daycare was nerve-wracking, but the teachers in his class were wonderful. They made us feel so much better about his transition. It is obvious that all of his teachers care deeply about him and it’s truly heartwarming. We are very happy with everything from the teachers, to the management, to the facilities!

We have been with this daycare since 2016 because our older son who is now 7 attended and now our younger son will be graduating Pre-K in June. The level of care has always been great even during the uncertain times of Covid. I have nothing but positive things to say about Lightbridge Academy in Whippany. We will be forever grateful for the time both our sons have spent here. The staff has always been kind and the curriculum they have taught has prepared both our sons for school. As a working parent having the flexible hours for pick up and drop off is helpful and the babysitting nights are always a treat.
