Newer Facility, good security, friendly owners and teachers. Love the apps. Two problems: 1. Their learning program is a step up from regular day care. Could be better. 7-8am playtime till teachers arrive 8-830 moving to respective classes and settling down (mostly this happens as planned between 8-815) 815-9 reading stories or learning with rhymes 9-10 play time 10-1030 snack time 1030 -1200 art work or play n learn 1200-1230 lunch 1230- 230 nap time 230-3 potty n refresh time 3-330 snack time 330-430 outdoor or playroom play time or group activity 430-630 YouTube time (learning videos) This is the schedule on most of the days. 2. **Wendy** (Director) could be more polite and could show some true interest when parents bring their concerns. Please take this as a constructive feedback. The reason I'm writing this review is to bring a change to this leader or Leadership. It would be really hard to stick around if we don't see any improvement in the leadership. read more

I searched and searched for nice daycare for my daughter. One where the teachers and staff are nice and academically where my little girl would be challenged. I thought I had that with Lightbridge in Fort Washington, but BOY WAS I MISTAKEN! The turnover is high, Jane in the front office is rude and the owners only care about getting paid the 27 of every month. I do not believe every Lightbridge Academy is like this, but I do know if I needed to do it all again, I would NEVER go back to that one. To top it off, they took money out of my account without my consent and I am yet to get it back. Please... if you are even considering the school in Fort Washington..choose wisely! read more

Do not bring your children to Lightbridge Academy. Our 3.5 year old started at the Fort Washington, PA location couple weeks ago, and only lasted 2 days. We were initially told that there was a "quiet time" of 1.5-2 hours every day and that for the children who didn't nap, they could get up and do quiet activities by themselves or with a teacher. On the first day, quiet time was 2 hours and 45 minutes. The children were not allowed off of their little cot for the whole time. Some kids tossed and turned for the whole time and never fell asleep. My daughters cot was right next to the shelves where the puzzles were. Surprisingly, we actually stayed on her cot, even though she did not fall asleep for the first 1.5 hours. She did try and grab a puzzle to play with, but the one teacher immediately took it away from her. We spoke with someone about this and were assured that going forward she could do quiet activities if she didn't fall asleep in the first 30 minutes. On the second day, she was still awake approximately 45 minutes into "quiet time". At that point the one teacher went and rubbed her back until she fell asleep, basically forcing her to take a nap. This was her last day at Lightbridge and is now much happier in a different school, with NO QUIET TIME. Even though the school misled us, we were refused a refund. This quiet time is solely for the purpose of the teachers getting a break, which is why they force the kids to stay on their cot or nap. My child has not napped in 2 years, and was unhappy with being forced, and then was not fun to put to sleep at night. Not to mention, no one should be paying admission for their child to be forced to be quiet or take a nap for almost 3 hours. I will actively recommend AGAINST enrolling at this school. read more

As a seasoned educator who's worked at many different schools, pre-k programs, camps, etc, I can honestly say that Lightbridge Academy Ft. Washington is one of the safest, academically and technologically advanced and nurturing environments you can send your child. In addition to having a staff of credentialed teachers, the school is clean, spacious and well-managed. There is flexible enrollment enabling the busiest of parents to have their scheduling needs met. I highly recommend this school! read more

Amazing place, lovely teachers, I recommend this place for any working parents that struggle where to leave their kids safe without being worried about them read more

Beautiful school, the facilities are well maintained and have awesome features like Ipads and touchscreen smart boards for the kids. Very sweet and friendly staff and the owner Craig was super helpful from the moment i first walked in. read more

DO NOT ENROLL your child here. I wish I read the comments below before I enrolled my child. We were at the Ft Washington location but I have talked to mom's who sent their kids to other locations (one in NJ, another in PA) and neither had nice things to say. We had a horrible experience and pulled our daughter after the second day she was there. The staff seems super nice until you start and you realize that they all lie. They told us that the children would need to do "quiet time". My daughter is 3.5 she hasn't napped since she was 2. The director, Jane, and the tour person assured my husband and I that it was 20 minutes on the mat and if they didn't fall asleep they could do quiet activities. They made it sound like half the kids sleep and have the kids get up and do quiet activities with a teacher. That is not the case at all. These teachers absolutely want their break. They keep these kids on the mat for TWO AND 45 mins.... almost 3 hours?!?!? TORTURE. I had the live video feed and I watched for both days as this happened. Multiple kids were on their mat tossing and turning for the entire time. My daughter tried to get a puzzle after 45 minutes one day and it was taken from her and thrown on the floor twice and then she was moved away from the shelves. I was infuriated as I watched this on her first day and then I was assured by the director that this wouldn't happen again and it happened again on her second day and I took her out immediately. I tried to be nice and just get my money back and move on but they refused to give my money back. I was completely misled and even the owner was SUPER RUDE when she finally responded over 2 weeks later to my fifth email. STAY AWAY!!!! READ the other horrible reviews on Google also ...I wish I did read more

I loved the staff and director but the owners are horrible. They mistreat their staff. They only show respect for staff that they like who kiss butt. They got rid of 8 staff in 1 week and recently lost 2 pre kindergarten teachers who excellent had the kids kindergarten ready. Ms Lexi the head who had to take a medical leave for 2 weeks was told her and her partner could no longer be the teachers in that room with only 3 days notice. Parents were pissed. Ms Khalisa then was giving the cold shoulder and seemed very uncomfortable. Craig the owner kept watching her room would come in the room when parents were dropping kids off basically hovering over her I guess to make sure she wouldn't say anything about what was going on. The parent was aware of it and was very uncomfortable. These 2 ladies were wonderful and cared all about the kids. I mean they were outstanding and the lost the 2 best teachers in Lightbridge. The owners clearly don't know anything about child care. This place is falling apart, I have never seen a place go through so many teachers. Should be shut down the staff are over worked and it's not enoug read more
