It's a smaller facility with no frills - but, honestly, what does a 10 month old need other than attention and some food. :) We like that the staff all seems genuine and kind, and the other children we observed looked happy and engaged.

This is not just a daycare. Their pre-K program is excellent. If anything, they did TOO good of a job in educating because my oldest child is now in kindergarten and is bored by the lack of challenges in public school. I got a new job which unfortunately moved me 12 miles away from Busy Bee. We love the school so much that I sucked it up for a full year and made two 24 mile round trips per day so my daughter could graduate there. We tried one of the large well known chains and there's no comparison. Busy Bee's small, family owned school made me feel like I was dropping my kids off with family.

Our experience at The Learning Experience in Livingston was deeply disappointing and harmful to our…read moreson. From the beginning, it felt as though the administration attempted to force our child into a rigid, cookie-cutter mold rather than approaching him as an individual. In the 90 days we were enrolled, the concerns raised often felt excessive and out of proportion for a typical four-year-old. During his time there, our son was subjected to bullying and unkind behavior from classmates, which was not adequately addressed. He experienced daily emotional meltdowns, asked to be picked him up early every day, and grew to hate going to school altogether. He expressed feeling that the administration and staff did not like him, which was heartbreaking to hear from a child so young. Communication with us was overwhelmingly negative. Not once did a staff member share something positive about our son, despite him being described by multiple childcare professionals we trust as exhibiting entirely age-appropriate behavior. We received near-daily reports of issues that felt outlandish and unnecessarily alarming. Additionally, very few staff members used positive reinforcement or supportive intonation when speaking to him. Class sizes were extremely large, up to 25 children in his class! Perhaps most troubling was the inconsistency and insensitivity in communication. While staff spoke one way to us in person, they sent urgent-toned emails about our son during two major life events for our family, including one email sent just two days before our wedding, framing matters as emergencies when they were not. Early childhood education should be rooted in patience, compassion, and developmental understanding. Based on our experience, I would not recommend this location.

I had to pull our 10 month old son, at the time, out of this facility. He was only there for 1 week. The teachers, if thats what you want to call them, were not suitable to take care of infants. Unresponsive, uncaring, and unhelpful behavior towards children. The plus, the cameras, at an additional expense, after a short period of time, showed us all the wrongdoings of the staff. We moved to another daycare and it seems like a whole new world. The additional cost for the camera access and lunch, on top of incompetent staff.......is a no brainer. Do not enroll here. We left here 1 year ago and couldn't be happier with our choice. All Lightbridge Academy daycares are not created equal. Much better locations not that far from this one.

After being there for almost 4 years (age 2-6) and hearing about other daycares in town, we can say it was the best option for us and our daughter. A few highlights based on our experience: - Best hours with flexible schedule offerings (12 hours day, half days, partial weeks) - Fair pricing with no nickel and dining for extra hours, monthly fees, etc. Being independent allows them to avoid additional overhead of the franchise daycare options. - Incredible staff with little turnover, which is a big issue at many places - Caring owners with great attitudes and always reinvesting in the facility - Outstanding full-day kindergarten program (with included before and after care hours), led by Miss Kerri. Kids leave this program well prepared for 1st grade. - Perfect location downtown with plenty of parking and allows us to be close to everything (restaurants, dance, taekwondo, train station, etc.) We highly recommend you pay them a visit and seriously consider them for your child

They also have a convenient lunch arrangement where my son can buy lunch each day. When you go for a tour, ask "Mimi" and "Mo" (the owners) about the impressive safety and security features. The communication between the school and myself has been excellent. When I pick up my son, Mimi and Mo take the time to give me a quick review of the day and share progress with me, along with the weekly progress notes, and they are available for meetings as needed. Even more important than all of that, my son loves being there. Each day we drop him off and pick him up happy and healthy. He loves his teachers and has had a special relationship with each of them at each stage. They have been patient and kind through my son's "terrible twos" and have been willing to work with us and try whatever they could to promote his growth and development. We are amazed by what he learns academically and socially each day. I highly recommend Little Angels and we have already reserved a spot for our second baby who will be born this spring.

It's clear that these lessons stick because all the kids are kind, respectful, and supportive of one another.
