Where do I start?!!! There are so many great things about lightbridge!…read more 1. Postpartum first time mom: our first child we waited a year to start in daycare. When you drop off you have that anxiety that NOBODY can care for your child like you. You know their different cries, their schedules, Cues. They don't know these strangers. What if the teachers can't do it like you? Well, the teachers arent you... they do it like professionals!!! You only have 1 kid... they have multiple. I've walked into the room so many times impressed that they do this day in and day out with a smile. I remember sitting at a red light soon after starting, and my daughter kept putting her hand towards her mouth. She did this a couple days before I realized she was using sign language!!! My husband and I instantly started practicing so we could recognize what our daughter was saying! It was amazing to feel we could communicate with her, and she wasn't as frustrated because we could understand her! As she she gets older, se switches to new teachers. They do a great job introducing them gradually before the full switch! 2. Baby #2 we started at 5 months old. Equal amount of tears in my eyes as I dropped off. I instantly pulled up the camera and watched them hug her and shake some toys to get her attention. My anxiety was related to bottles this time. My daughter never had a bottle. Exclusive breastfeed. We tried introducing a bottle around 4 months, using all the tricks. But no success. How would my baby eat?!!!! I was so lucky that I work next door. The teacher would give it a couple attempts and if no success they would call me and I'd walk over. They let me nurse in the backroom. I did this for a week or 2 until finally the teachers messaged me in the app saying SUCCESS!! She took her first full bottle! They were just as excited and proud as I was. The app communication center is great. Even now, we had an unusual drop off that the girls were both emotional and "off". I can just send a message "how is their day going" and they keep me in the loop!! Great piece of mind! There isn't a bad teacher in the bunch!! All the teachers know our kids names, even if they aren't in their class! We walk down the hallway and they all use their names when saying goodbye for the day!!!

My daughter is in the Orange Giraffee room, and we could not be happier. Miss Elyse, Miss Robin,…read moreand Miss B are so welcoming and loving. She is learning her shapes and colors as well as life skills. I was so shocked when we were out, and she recognized the color yellow. I know when I drop my daughter off, she is in kind, loving hands with not just her teachers but any of the staff at Lightbridge. During the day, I receive live updates on her activities with pictures. If I have a question, I am able to email the teachers, and they respond during naptime. You are able to sign your child up for a sports class that they have once during the week. I can not recommend Lightbridge Academy enough to my friends.

Working with Rona and Katie at Oriel Admissions was a genuinely positive experience for our family…read more From the earliest conversations, they took the time to understand our son as a student and as a person, which shaped every piece of guidance that followed. One of the things we valued most was the hands-on support with his writing. Rona and Katie worked with him in live sessions on his essays, helping him find his voice and shape his ideas into something authentic and compelling. That kind of in-the-moment coaching as well as the written feedback that he received was extremely meaningful and it pushed him to produce his strongest work. Beyond the writing, Rona and Katie suggested colleges that aligned with his interests and goals, helped him tell a clear story through his activities, and brought out his strengths and unique qualities in his writing. Their guidance was always rooted in what was right for him specifically, and that made all the difference in how his applications came together. In the end, he was accepted to the University of Miami, his top choice college, and we couldn't be happier.

My child began working with Oriel Admissions in the second half of her freshman year of high…read moreschool. While the most intense part of the counseling happened during the later part of her junior year and into the beginning of her senior year, Rona and her team provided thoughtful, structured guidance throughout the entire process. They advised my child on how to best use her time for each of her summer breaks for different purposes, from exploring what interested her during freshman summer to participating in research program following her junior year which greatly strengthened her application. My child worked with a career counselor of the team to explore career interests. Rona and other members of her team advised my child on course selections for each academic year, formulation of different essay topics, and later the intense process of essay development during which Rona and a writing coach provided multiple rounds of edits for my child. The team was knowledgeable about the college admissions landscape. They helped our child stay on track and build her confidence and independence during what could have been a stressful process. What stood out most was how they focused on my child as a unique individual and guided her accordingly. Oriel Admissions helped my child present her authentic self in the strongest possible way and we believe their guidance played a pivotal role in my child's successful early decision admission into Smith College. We are grateful for their guidance and would highly recommend them to any family navigating the college admissions journey.

We left after one month. Negatives: - Did not attempt to put my son back to sleep when he woke up and argued with me that it is normal for a 2 month old to only nap 2 hours during the day. - We would frequently find him strapped to a rocker crying and with the assistant teachers ignoring him. At 2 months old, a child is not crying simply because he wants attention. - Took him outside in almost 90 degree weather wearing 2 layers even though we told the staff that he had an inside layer on when we dropped him off. - They will not try to feed your child for more than 15 minutes so I would advise you to tell them to feed on demand. - It took 2 to 3 weeks to get access cards and we only got it finally because we caught the director on the same day that a parent had returned cards. - I saw a kid wallowing in his vomit two times and had to point it out to a teaching assistant. Positives: - The infant head teacher pays close attention to her kids. But she is not always there and she knows that her assistants are not good. - I appreciated their milestone review of my son which was helpful. - Not having to pay for diapers or wipes is a plus and receiving a discount for bringing in breast milk is a plus.
