Pulled my child out, I understand…read moretransitions are challenging but nothing was done to reassure or comfort my daughter or provide an adequate professional update to a parent. The staff doesn't seem like they enjoy being there and children were crying left and right. On day one my child was hysterical at pick up, eyes swollen like they had been crying all day. No welcoming greeting, there was no update on their adjustment or a care to interact with a parent. It felt like it was a bother my child was another "one" added to the class. Just a money maker with indecent humans who don't give a crap about the child they work with. Don't send your children here if you're a parent that cares about quality transparent care. I work with children and I've worked in child care- don't work with kids if you don't like them.

Teachers are professional and are all degreed. I love the private kindergarten program. They took good care of my daughter both academically and on her personal development. She is confident and an active learner. Facility is really nice and clean. The owners and directors are really helpful and have an open door policy. Absolutely the best place in Lehigh Valley for childcare!

I can't describe what my family is going through right now with this school--I had to pull both of…read moremy children out last week from the Pre-K program. Not only did my son not grow academically while he was here, he was belittled and humiliated for having an accident at school by one of the teachers. Another teacher accused him of touching other children "inappropriately" while playing "doctor"--(which the students are not supposed to play, but the teacher in that classroom is so disorganized and lazy that she doesn't supervise the kids--bottom line is no adult saw anything, they just wanted him out because he has an IEP and challenged them...). This was our final straw....we pulled our children out and have them already enrolled in another school. I feel awful for my kids for having to start in a new setting halfway through the year, but I know it will be for the best. Since pulling them out, many other parents are now sharing their horror stories with me about this place and are pulling their kids too! Unless they change leadership and some of the teachers, I urge you to look elsewhere!

My twins were enrolled in TLE since January. I can only speak to the infant experience, but I would…read moreadvise any parent who is able to enroll your infants in a different daycare to do so. During our time at TLE, there were two different owners, but we continued to see the same issues. These were what we witnessed during our time at TLE: 1. Our son has issues with his feeding that require him to be held upright during feeding. Multiple times, this simple and medically necessary request was not followed causing him to projectile vomit and stop breathing. We trained multiple teachers and very few seemed to actually follow through with this request. 2. They will feed your children slumped on the floor. I have photo evidence of them feeding my son on the ground with his neck positioned in a right angle. 3. The floors were filthy even though they said there's a cleaner. Crumbs everywhere and carpets had weeks' worth of spit up stains. Former employees mentioned cockroaches as well. 4. Our son was given medication without calling us for consent multiple times. 5. They skipped multiple feedings and our children constantly came home with diaper rash because they weren't changed for over 3 hours. 6. They had so much turnover and so many different teachers throughout the day that they had to label our kid with tape to make sure he didn't get mistaken for another kid. Kind of funny but also speaks to the stability of the place. We voiced our concerns so many times, so this shouldn't come to a shock to TLE but they also took 0 actions to remedy any of this. There's a few good teachers at TLE, but owners, directors, and fill in teachers don't care enough to make sure your kids are safe. If you're able to, pay a little more and go elsewhere to protect your child.

In the infant room, Ms. Jailene, Ms. Megan and Ms. Cindy are attentive and communicative. Within seconds of talking with them, you can tell they're compassionate and nurturing to the babies.

Overall, the teachers are kind, accepting and genuinely care about our children; we couldn't ask for anything more.

PLEASE READ: I…read morethink we can all agree: trusting someone with your kid(s) is a big deal. My wife and I, in particular, dislike the notion of being away from our child; however, if you have an occupation and can't afford for one parent to stay home, or stagger your schedule even, this is a necessary evil. Here's the good news! If you enroll your child at Lightbridge Academy, the word EVIL will never come to mind! Each worker at the Bethlehem Lightbridge Academy, comes to work every day and treats the kids as if the kids were their own. The energy and the positive vibes walking in that place is unparallel. As a parent, I know every precaution is taken and a village of loving adults will be watching over my little girl. I cherish the good people on this Earth, and Lightbridge has managed to only employee these particular people. Everyone there has an amazing love for children and can back up their love with the experience. I am the biggest fan of these godsent workers and wouldn't dare take time out of my busy schedule to tell a lie. I wouldn't feel right if I didn't recognize this wonderful group of caretakers. I am insanely appreciative of them and owe them something special; after all, they take care of my most prized possession. A special shout out to Aliscia, Pat, Heidi, Jessie, Meghan & Tricia. I am blanking on the names of so many people, so please forgive me. Thank you all & 1,000 Blessings! Cordially, Corey, Darice & Demi!

From the owner: We are so much more than just a daycare! Busy working families need childcare for their children…read morebut also desire a high-quality early childhood education program. Lightbridge Academy offers infant, toddler, preschool and back-up care programs.

We go beyond what's expected from daycare to create an exceptional early childhood education experience.

I attend Bethlehem Christian school, and would highly discourage attending. There are almost no…read moreprograms offered besides athletics. We currently have no language classes. It's overpriced for it being at a church, with unqualified teachers, and no programs. Administration doesn't handle the strong racism, sexism, and bullying. They largely ignore students who need extra help. They worry about the dress code rather than the serious issues students are going through. I know multiple people who left the school due to bullying. These people went to the administration, but the admin did not listen. We have had racist teachers, teachers with serious mental issues, we had a teacher fired for multiple weird occurrences with female students, yet he still shows up to all games. The school doesn't deal with this issue at all. Current teachers show strong favoritism for male students; they are treated better and are often flirted with by female teachers. The athletics program is good, but that's about it. Anyway, if you're looking for an education for a Christian child, send them to public school and do some bible lessons. If you pay for here, all you're paying for is a horrible education and a 40 minute bible class where we fool around. The students act exactly like public school students with cursing, slurs, disobedience, smoking, racism, and more, so you're not paying for anything.
