Ok 2 full months at this school and I still love it just as much as I did on day 1! It is amazing…read morewhen your 2.5 yr old doesn't cry when you drop him off. In these 2 months he's never cried. More importantly he is recognizing numbers and all the colors. He's speaking in sentences. He's grown in leaps and bounds over these two months and I am sooo happy I placed him in this school. I visited a few learning experiences in the area and this even though is a little bit of a drive for me is really a great school. Thank you Mr. sunny, Mr. Nico and Ms. Amanda :)

I had her at a different daycare before and they were absolutely horrible and didn't take proper care of my daughter and since i brought her to the learning Experience there has been such a difference in her attitude, learning and other cognitive skills and im just so happy with how much they pay attention to all the kids needs. I absolutely love this daycare and so does my daughter !

All of her teachers have been wonderful and you can tell that they all care deeply for the students which makes a huge difference in her and my comfort! The administrative team, Ms. Kayla, Ms. Jaime and Ms. Bailey are also fantastic. They always greet me by name and with a smile. The staff's care for the children and the school as well as the awesome activities that they provide not just within the curriculum but for the Lightbridge community, makes you feel like family which is so special. You will not get that at every early education center. I would recommend Lightbridge Academy of Matawan to anyone who is looking for a safe and caring environment for their little one to flourish in! Thank you all so much for everything that you do!!!

I wouldn't recommend this facility to anyone and feel guilty we had our two kids here as long as we…read moredid. What started as a positive experience slowly deteriorated before it became unbearable. There is IMMENSE turnover here from assistants and teachers all the way up through the administration level. We would have one teacher on a Monday, and by midweek, it would be someone new with little to no communication on the change. In one instance, 5 teachers quit overnight with vague answers and excuses when we questioned the why. In the beginning we thought this was par for the course at a daycare during COVID but it's reflective of serious inherent issues and we wish we had taken some of these red flags more seriously. The school had 3 different directors in less than 6 months, two leaving seemingly overnight without explanation. Our final straw was the negligent care our 1 year old received in the mobile infants class. Regularly picked up in dirty diapers with diaper rash, filthy and constantly sick. When we raised concerns, they were not addressed or taken seriously. Our older son was bounced between classes early and later in the day, often asked by whatever random employee was covering what his name was at drop off. I'd encourage current and prospective parents to review the State of NJ's DCF site (https://childcareexplorer.njccis.com/portal/provider-details/707252 )to view the frequent citations and failed reinspections of this facility. The best decision we've made was to leave LBA and join a new school community that far exceeds the experience we had at this place.

As a parent, the #1 thing you care about when your kid is at daycare is that they are safe. #2 is that they are having fun. My son loved this school so much that often when I would pick him up, he didn't want to leave. My son exceled on so many things since starting this school - at 3 years old he can write every letter of the Alphabet and even say all of his colors and numbers in Spanish! But most of all, my son who used to be painfully shy is one of the most outgoing and social 3 year old I know. I have all of his amazing teachers to thank for this. This school is more then just a daycare, you are treating like family. Again, my son started at 18 months in the room the "strawberries" - which was a great first room for him. He's been in 2 other classes since, and has had nothing but fantastic teachers along the way. We are leaving Goddard to go into our towns public school and we are heartbroken to leave but we are so grateful to have made the memories and friends we made along the way. We will forever remember our Goddard family.
