Will start my review with "Don't judge a book by its cover"…read more School looks very nice, A total eye catcher. I sent my daughter to The Goddard at Paramus from October 2019 till January 2020, from that period of time my daughter got SICK inumerous of times, lots of visits to the doctor's office and Urgent care, she had a virus every other week, for the first time my 4 year old had to take antibiotics a very healthy kid who barely got sick before. After 3 months of seeing my daughter getting sick so many times me and my husband decided that we needed to get her out of that school. Problem Solved.

The place is filled with friendly teachers & staff, all classrooms & facilities are SPOTLESS & most importantly it felt SAFE. I'm so sad my daughter is leaving the school to start kindergarten in the fall but let me just say they are BY FAR the best! Thank you TLE of FRANKLIN LAKES you have exceeded all of our expectations & we will forever thank you for everything! Milania & I will miss you!

A special thank you to Lisa and Colleen from the administrative team for always being so kind, approachable, and supportive.

And an especially heartfelt thank you to Ms. Sagine, who has been an absolutely amazing teacher. Her patience, love, understanding, and genuine care for our daughter have meant so much to our family. She created a safe and nurturing environment where our daughter could grow, learn, and become more comfortable in her own time. We will always be grateful for the love and support she gave her throughout this journey. Thank you to the entire Lightbridge Fair Lawn team for making these nine months such a positive and memorable experience for our family.

A very special thank you to Lisa (Location Director) and her entire team for doing such an amazing job. Lisa is always welcoming, approachable, and genuinely cares about the children and their families. You can really see the effort she and her team put into creating a safe, positive, and nurturing environment where kids feel comfortable, happy, and excited to come to school. I also want to give a special shout-out to Sagine, their class teacher for the incredible care and attention she gave to my daughter. She has been so patient, caring, and thoughtful, and it is clear that she truly loves what she does. Knowing that my daughter was in such caring hands gave us tremendous peace of mind. What I appreciate most is that this doesn't feel like just a daycare--it feels like a place where children are genuinely cared for, encouraged, and treated like family. The positive environment, friendly staff, and attention to each child really makes a difference. We are very grateful to Lisa, Sagine, and the entire Lightbridge Academy team for everything they do every day. Highly recommend Lightbridge Academy to any parent looking for a safe, caring, and nurturing place for their child!

I'm sharing my personal experience with this daycare so other parents can make an informed…read moredecision. We enrolled under what was clearly labeled a 10-month contract. I was informed at the time that this type of contract is typically offered to teachers; however, the director offered it to us as a courtesy when we were preparing to leave, due to the school's 12-month schedule and lack of a guaranteed September spot if a child is withdrawn for July and August. I was clear with the director that I am not a teacher, and the contract was still offered and signed. Based on vocal and written communication, my understanding was that this agreement allowed my child to be out for July and August while maintaining her enrollment for September. Recently, we were unexpectedly asked to confirm our intentions for the next school year. When I referenced the 10-month contract, I was told someone would follow up with me, which did not happen. I then emailed for clarification. The owner responded by stating that I had misunderstood the agreement, despite the contract and email I had in writing from her outlining what the 10 month contract is. When I said I would need to consult a lawyer if the agreement was not honored, I was told the owner does not deal with "litigious people," and my child was removed from the program in the middle of the school day. Separately, my child reported being hit by another student on multiple occasions. When these concerns were brought to the owner, I was told that my child was lying. There was also an incident where staff commented negatively on my child's lunch, telling her that yogurt was unhealthy, which I found inappropriate. This review reflects my direct experience only. I encourage parents to ask detailed questions, get all agreements in writing, and carefully consider how concerns and disputes are handled before enrolling.

If you ever leave instructions regarding anything whether it's health or restrictions, they listen and follow everything you provide.

I would highly recommend this childcare facility.

Edited to add: The changes I have seen in the few days since the school year officially started are phenomenal. A new curriculum has been implemented and my son has been coming home much more calm than with the previous owner and schedule.
