Lightbridge Academy

I really appreciate all of the teachers and all of their hard work and dedication. My daughter has made so much improvement from day 1 and I am extremely impressed. I also really appreciate Marisa and Crystal, the directors, for making this process seamless. They keep us up to date and answer any and all questions. They continue to make me feel very happy with my decision to put my daughter in Light Bridge Academy.

We recently moved to NJ and toured a few daycares prior to settling down to LBA-Westwood. We were impressed by the thorough tour of the facility, how bright and new the facilities were, and how engaged the kids were to their teachers. Now that it's been about 3 months - we know full well that our son, now 16 months, is in amazing hands under the care of his wonderful teachers. He is thriving and I love to see the pictures/videos that the teachers send us. The camera app is definitely a great source of comfort to see firsthand how much he enjoys his day. Thank you Crystal and Marisa and the teachers in the Mobile Infant room! :)

As I first time mom, I was very leery about leaving my 3 month old child with strangers. My husband and I toured many daycare facilities and either we didn't like the facility itself (lacked that feeling of cleanliness) or the staff didn't appear to be vested in the children. We had heard many horror stories. A friend of mine recommended speaking with Crystal Connolly because she was a Director of Lightbridge in Westwood, NJ and could give us first hand knowledge on how the school is run. While we don't live in Bergen County, we did take a tour of her school. It's beautiful, well maintained, and the staff is extremely friendly. You could tell here the teachers love their kids. We immediately scheduled a tour at a Lightbridge in Whippany, NJ which was closer to our office, and were met with the same experience. Because of Crystal's recommendation - we enrolled. My daughter loved the 5+ year experience she had at that school (Ms. Sandra & team) and now as a 1st grader still speaks fondly of her Pre-K teacher and asks to visit often.

I started at Lightbridge Academy when it was Rainbow Academy! Ive been here for 10 years and still going strong. I love working with children, watching them grow and achieve their goals. The Office is just wonderful as well! Ms. Crystal has been there for me every step of the way! Crystal is a great mentor.. I cant picture LBA without her! & Ms. Marisa! I have personally worked with her in a class before became Assistant Director and it was such a memorable year. She was a wonderful teacher. They are truly are the best!!!!

We just started this school year at lightbridge Westwood. My daughter is in goldfish and is so happy and excited to go to school each day after getting over the transition period. During the transition period Crystal, Marisa and Miss Cynthia went above and beyond to make sure that not only my daughter was comfortable but also me! I was home with my daughter for 2 years and it was very hard to think of me sending my daughter somewhere. The care I have received as a mom returning to work from the director, Crystal and Marisa the Assistant Director, and of course the amazing teachers have made that process so much easier for me and my daughter. The responsiveness and care I receive is unmatched, I highly recommend Lightbridge Academy of Westwood to anyone in the area.
