As a 1st time mom that has worked in education for over 25 years, I'm proud to announce our family…read morehas found a place to call our 2nd home-Lightbridge Academy Lawrenceville. "WoW" is the word Esme uses to describe her new school, I use "impressive" and Dad used "safe". From the moment we walked through the door, Miss Lauren gave us a warm and inviting feeling. You could tell that she goes above and beyond for her families. After meeting .it's Becca, we already felt like family. A wonderful, welcomed surprise was that the owners were on site during our tour. Their love for their kiddos radiates through their smiles and high fives. Every teacher we have met, has greeted us with a hello and a smile. Since starting Esme's vocabulary has doubled and she lives playing with all her new friends. This educational preschool is the choice when it comes to Esme's Circle of Care. I witness everyday her growth, physically and mentally. I recommend you schedule a tour today!

I feel compelled to address the misinformation and baseless accusations being spread about…read moreLightbridge Academy by Lauren P. and Patty P. These claims are entirely false, unfounded, and appear to be an attempt to deflect accountability and create unnecessary chaos. The allegations lack evidence and seem to reflect their personal shortcomings rather than any legitimate concerns about the facility. I want to highlight the extraordinary care, dedication, and professionalism demonstrated by the ownership, staff, and administration at Lightbridge Academy. These individuals consistently go above and beyond to ensure the safety, well-being, and development of every child. In our case, they collaborated with external experts, including my son's grandmother (a DCF supervisor) and a regional manager from Children's Specialized Hospital, to address the emotional challenges my son was experiencing. This collaborative effort underscores their commitment to the holistic care of children. Unfortunately, the only opposition to these efforts came from Lauren P. and Patty P., who were unwilling to cooperate for the betterment of my child. It is disingenuous for them to cast blame on an organization that showed such willingness to help, especially when they themselves refused to support a united approach. For instance, they've alleged that Lightbridge Academy violated state protocols by keeping my son in a room for two hours, yet they omit a critical detail: they specifically instructed the staff not to contact his father during an outburst--even though he was just eight minutes away. Lightbridge Academy was following their directive, so any blame for this situation rests with them, not the facility. It is both shocking and disappointing that these baseless accusations are being leveled against a daycare that has shown nothing but compassion and professionalism. We maintain thorough records and evidence to refute these claims. Lightbridge Academy did everything possible to navigate complex challenges, including instances of parental alienation, manipulation, and misinformation, all while prioritizing the best interests of my son. For three weeks, my son experienced emotional outbursts, often immediately following drop-offs by his mother. The staff consistently went out of their way to support him, employing strategies like emotional redirection, personalized activities, and special accommodations to help him adjust. This level of care has been a hallmark of Lightbridge Academy throughout my son's time there--from when he was just four months old until November 2024. As someone with insight into daycare standards (thanks to my mother's role with DCF), I can confidently say Lightbridge Academy is exemplary. It is deeply unfair to see this business--one that treats every child as if they were their own--be maligned for issues rooted in parenting challenges, not institutional failings. Again thank you to Amy Speiser, Esther Sander (gifted my son a Childrens bible), Lauren Nolan and the rest of the amazing Lightbridge Academy staff for all their love, support and amazing care for my chid and other children at the facility.

Since then, he has thrived thanks to the warm, nurturing care provided by everyone at The Learning Experience - Hopewell. I have cherished every drop-off and pick-up, where smiles and a palpable sense of community greet me. We decided to start the au pair process before fully realizing the impact and quality of care here, and I only wish we had come here first. While we are committed to our current path, we hope that our son will return soon, where he can reunite with the teachers and friends who have supported his growth and development and brought us so much joy.

His teacher ms.Sheri is the best. She is so patient & you can tell that she loves what she does ! That makes me feel alot better knowing he is in good hands while im at work. I'm very happy and will be sending my other kids here in the future.

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.

My daug recently…read moregraduated and started attending kindergarten so it's been over 4 years of faithfully and consistently caring for my (2) kids. The caregivers/teachers are wonderful. Each age/stage teacher has their own gifts in caring for each developmental stage and they encourage children in learning and growing new skills and abilities in an age appropriate way. There is genuine warmth and caring among all care givers as well as leadership of the daycare. A very high level of care and concern for our precious little ones balanced with professionalism and courtesy. I don't worry at all about my kids during the day while I'm working. The wonderful team of caregivers has earned my trust, admiration, respect, and love. The teachers feel more like an extension of our family than paid caregivers! Recently my sons class started sending the sweetest & most thoughtful notes home in his bag. Each one is individually written and shares a sweet observation from something my son said or did. I can't tell you how much I appreciate these! They warm my heart and it's so nice to have a glimpse into his day & development in the class! This daycare and all of their wonderful staff make such a difference in our lives, parents included! I recommend this daycare to those I know with little ones who might be interested. I don't know what we'll do when my youngest graduates from the program!

The classes are perfectly sized, and the teachers are attentive and very caring. We also love the large indoor play area that's available when cold weather makes the outdoor playground unappealing.

The head teacher in the infant room went out on maternity leave and there was no replacement teacher for weeks. It's not fair for both the parents and the kids to have to adjust to different teachers DAILY. I mean she had 9 whole months to hire someone what's the deal?
