I do not recommend Lightbridge Academy based on my experience with their Plainsboro location. My…read morechild, who has developmental delays and feeding-related medical needs, was enrolled here. Despite multiple conversations, written documentation, and coordination with her therapists--including Early Intervention providers visiting the school--the staff consistently failed to meet her basic safety needs. On her final day, I discovered she had been given water by a teacher who was unaware of her feeding plan. My child has documented swallowing difficulties and is not permitted to drink water at daycare. I received two completely different explanations from staff: one teacher (Ms. Subarna) claimed in writing that she had not been given water at all, while another (Ms. Corrine) told me she had. After I raised the concern, the Brightwheel log was altered to remove the mention of water. This wasn't just a mistake--it was a serious communication breakdown with conflicting accounts and document tampering. Before I even arrived to pick her up, I watched via the classroom camera as my child picked up another child's water bottle, put it in her mouth, then handed it back. No adult was present at the table. She could have choked or aspirated. No one informed me of this--I saw it myself. The administrators later admitted it happened and described it as "unacceptable" and promised to retrain staff. But that's not good enough when you're talking about a child's medical safety. This was not an isolated issue. On another occasion, I watched via the cameras as my child was left unsupervised at a table with another child who had a cracker. She took the cracker and put it in her mouth. At the time, she did not eat solids and this posed a clear choking hazard. No one notified me--it was something I discovered on my own. Incidents like this were repeated and avoidable, and reflect a serious failure of basic supervision protocols. Throughout our time there, we experienced: * Staff regularly failing to follow her feeding therapy plan * Teachers giving her bottles after purée against clear written instructions * Another child sleeping on her crib sheet, and her sleeping on another child's bedding * Ongoing lack of support despite her being diagnosed with global developmental delays * Frequent turnover of teachers, many of whom were unfamiliar with her accommodations * Repeated miscommunications, lack of consistency, and disregard for therapist recommendations Even more troubling, the head teacher of the infant classroom repeatedly told me my child was meeting her milestones--despite our child receiving Early Intervention services and having a formal diagnosis of global developmental delay. After I shared the findings of her speech-language pathologist, this teacher admitted they have "more information and training for toddlers not meeting milestones," and that they "don't have much training on infants with delays." That is unacceptable. That is their job. They are entrusted with the care and developmental monitoring of infants, and this admission reveals a lack of basic preparedness and staff training that puts children at risk. When I brought these concerns to the director, Ms. Krupa, I was told there are "tons of other great schools in Plainsboro." Rather than taking immediate responsibility, I was subtly encouraged to find a better fit. That's exactly what I did. This will be documented with the state. My child should not have had to be the reason they finally decided to 'do better.' If your child has special needs, medical concerns, or requires any accommodations--I urge you to look elsewhere. I hope no other child gets hurt before real changes are made.

If I could give this day care (Lightbridge Academy of Plainsboro)10 stars I would!! You know it is…read morean amazing place when the kids don't want to leave at pick up time. I love that they feel as though it is their second home. The staff is incredibly friendly and sweet. One thing I absolutely love is the live cameras. I am able to check in time to time to see how they are doing as well as check into the moment path app to see the progress throughout the day. Its amazing to see how they bring smiles to all the kids as soon as they enter the daycare. Can't forget the time when my baby was crying and the infant teacher just held her for 1 second and she stopped crying. Just knowing that there are caring arms at this center!!

I don't know if they consider this acceptable, but there was ZERO supervision happening.

It also took about 2-3 weeks before he adjusted and stopped crying at drop off, but now he seems like quite the happy camper. We have 10 daycares in a 3mile radius. I went through a very through analysis, weighing pros and cons of my top 6 picks, and TLE somerset came out on top. If you want to nerd out, details here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WQ-ovFOmSkIKbl0gHo7dVcdvA3TnhRMNagCTfrsFbms/edit?usp=drivesdk The biggest pros were: snacks/lunches included (because ain't got time for packing food), very flexible schedule (part time or full time or whenever pickup and dropoff), long term staff and teacher that seem to really like kids, and reasonable costs. In terms of education, no idea how much a little person with the attention span of a goldfish can really learn, but he is constantly surprising me with words and hand signals that I know I never had the patience to teach. He's on to colors and counting now. He also roars when he sees dinosaurs. A few weeks ago, the center called to let us know about a mysterious bump on his head, and that they're concerned and will keep an eye on it. It turned out to be just a small mosquito bite he got from the night before (that I already knew about), but it showed that they do pay attention to the little things. Both parents and kiddo are happy with the experience here so far! Now if they could do something about the traffic on Easton Ave... that would be great =)

The sensitivity and attention to detail not only to their education but their emotional and social development has been super appreciated and in sync with what we do at home.

I transferred my son to Kangaroo Kids from another daycare and it was the biggest mistake I have…read moreever made. My son had a terrible experience in the preschool class at Kangaroo Kids. High teacher turnover, bullying, and lacking curriculum are some of the things my son experienced at this daycare. After two months of attending Kangaroo Kids, two of the three teachers (including the lead teacher) in his classroom left within a month from each other. After they left, there were constant changes in the staff in his classroom. In addition to the constant changes in the classroom, he was verbally and physically abused by another kid. However, I was never notified by the school of the abuse or given a single incident report. Concerns about this other child's behavior were not addressed by the administration, despite it being known that this child was problematic. The bullying and constant changes of teachers in the classroom caused my son to have tremendous stress which eventually led him to stop talking in school. He would cry every morning before going to school. Another complaint I have about this school is the curriculum. I enrolled him at this school because I was sold on their foreign language program. After he was enrolled, I found out that there was no Spanish or Chinese class. Had I known this in the beginning I would not have enrolled him in this school. After 4 months there, I had to transfer him to another daycare. I wish my son had never gone to Kangaroo Kids.

I can not say enough wonderful things about Crayons Nursery School. I was very nervous when my two…read moreyear old needed to start daycare, but after meeting with Mrs. Lini and her staff, I knew we had found the place for him. The classes are small, the teachers are wonderful and caring and their schedule is perfect for the age-appropriate classes. My son has flourished at this school. Before Crayons he wasn't speaking much at all, but I saw a difference in only a matter of weeks. Additionally, he has since learned his alphabet, counting, songs, and even how to write his name at only three years old! On top of that, he has developed great social skills, creative skills and Crayons staff has been a key factor in helping him become fully potty-trained. Mrs. Lini has been incredibly kind towards us and runs a fabulous daycare at Crayons. I now have a three month old baby and am getting ready to head back to work and there is nowhere else I would feel better about leaving my children! For parents looking - the facilities are clean and safe and prices are very reasonable, especially in this area. Their hours are convenient for working parents 7am - 6pm. Staff gives great updates on your kids after each day and really keeps them engaged in their activities. Crayons does fun things for holidays (my son loved walking in his Halloween parade) and offer events like professional portraits for your kids! I'm so impressed with this place, I recommend it to anyone in need of a daycare/nursery school for their children.
