He had bite marks on his back, and arms. The school never took care of it, so my son went back and for 2 more days because he liked it and he was making friends. Well the one teacher of his classroom who isn't even license to be a teacher or have any certification to be around children. She screamed at my son and grabbed his arm when he went to his bag to grab his water bottle. Screaming to the point where he was crying and shaking when I picked him up. So I confronted the principal of the school and the teacher. I said how are you going to scream at a 3 yr old for taking a drink when you got your yetis filled with drinks and your Starbucks drinks here on your desks. And my son can't have a sip of water. I pulled him out after that.

I can't say enough wonderful things about Kiddie Academy! I have both of my boys currently…read moreenrolled at the school and I couldn't be happier. As someone who has worked for many years as both a teacher and Director, I am extremely selective about who is educating and taking care of my children on a daily basis. My oldest son was enrolled at two other schools before we finally found Kiddie Academy. Unfortunately, his experiences at the other schools were subpar (to put it nicely), and left both of us slightly nervous about taking a chance in a new environment. However, after touring Kiddie Academy, I knew it was exactly the nurturing and educational environment I wanted both my children to experience. My oldest son is currently in the Kindergarten program and he comes home everyday with stories about all the things he has learned and all the fun he has had. The curriculum is phenomenal and the teachers go above and beyond to engage the children in hands-on learning activities. My youngest son started attending the toddler program this spring and has been having a wonderful time learning through play, meeting with friends, and getting to know his teachers. The school is clean, safe, and well maintained which is important to me. However, even more importantly, the teachers at the school are phenomenal! I have no doubt that all of the educators are well-trained, communicative, and care for each child as if they were their own! I always wanted my children to be at a school where the teachers treated them with the utmost respect and compassion and this school has exceeded my expectations. When I walk through Kiddie Academy, all the teachers smile, make eye contact, and are welcoming and that means a lot to me. All of the staff are professionals who I happily entrust the care of my "most prized possessions" to on a daily basis and I couldn't be more thankful to have that peace of mind.

Lightbridge academy in Allentown has been nothing short of fantastic. We have two children, 4 and 2…read moreyears old, who have been attending three days a week since they were 12 weeks old. The school is safe, nurturing, and educational within developmentally appropriate expectations. The staff at Lightbridge are truly dedicated to providing the best possible care for the children in their care. We've had exceptional teachers throughout the years, however Allison in particular stands out each day. Although their title is education coordinator, it is easily seen that they play any role needed day to day. I've seen her jump in to help pat my child to sleep for naptimes, handle any issues that arise with grace and compassion, greet my children by name each morning, and play silly roles like dressing up on groundhogs day. They truly seem to enjoy their job and make it more than just a job. The facilities at Lightbridge in Allentown are clean, safe, and well-maintained. There are facial recognition cameras to enter the facility, live stream cameras in each classroom for parent viewing, and their own app to keep you updated on day to day tasks. There is also a large outdoor play area where the children can run, play, and explore with two separate playground areas with sprinklers for water play in summers. My husband and I both work in the healthcare field with sometimes long hours. At times, this results in my children being at school more hours than I'd like. In an ideal world, we'd get to have our babies with us 24/7. Since this is not possible, Lightbridge is able to calm my very anxious mom heart, knowing my children love their school, are well cared for, and are thriving.

We had originally planned to move after building a house but loved the staff at Lightbridge so much we kept our child there permanently. All the staff genuinely care so much for our son which means everything to us. We are so thankful at their attention to detail as our son has a LIFE THREATENING allergy. Miss Jayzel and Miss Allison handled an emergency with our son when he had an allergic reaction so well we were so thankful for their attention to detail and keeping our son safe. All the teachers truly love what they do and it shows. Miss Allison is so friendly and involved with the kids she exemplifies what a caring teacher and person should look like!

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.

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

When you consider this school, by all means don't go off of "Erin's" review, considering she had issues with every place she went to. Starting from the ladies in the nursery who work tirelessly to provide their time, even with a 4:1 state mandated ratio. Have you ever tried to take care of 4 infants under the age of 9 months at once? You give and you give and you give. That's what I saw/see with my son there, regardless of how short they were, someone (God Bless the nurse who is always pitching in) and all the way up the chain to the Director Cheryl, someone is putting these kids before everything else. When you listen to the news and hear all the terrible things that happen at daycares and pre-k schools, you can rest assuredly that it doesn't happen here. As for the "curriculum" (say that slowly as you're talking about kids under 4) my daughter is heads above kids her age in both her recall and vocabulary. Noah's Ark puts Christ first and it shows.
