A Message From Us
Thank you for getting to know Lightbridge Academy of Clifton! We are a New Jersey-based child care franchise company operated by co-owners Peter Patel, Kal Patel, Dave Saltzman, and Vicki Tripodo. My name is Cynthia Cordova and I am the Director at the Lightbridge Academy of Clifton. I joined the Lightbridge Academy family in October 2007 with my Bachelor’s Degree in Liberal Arts. My passion for teaching and love of children have proven to be abundantly beneficial in leading individual classrooms and working with the teachers to lead this school. I am proud to be a part of this special family and look forward to welcoming you as well.
Our Lightbridge Academy Circle of Care is more than just a philosophy and our core values are more than just a poster on the wall. They are built on a foundation of family values and you can trust that the Lightbridge Academy staff strives to be living examples of these every day. Our entire staff is committed to supporting you as parents, making your life less stressful and providing the highest quality of care in an interactive and fun learning environment.
We understand how important it is for you to feel connected to your child throughout the day and we do our best to promote the most open lines of communication. Through various e-tools such as Tadpoles®, which enables us to track developmental milestones, and send home daily reports, videos and pictures highlighting special moments we can truly make you part of our daily interactions.
Every moment is a learning moment at Lightbridge Academy and it shows! Our curriculum is designed to help infants, toddlers and preschool children meet key developmental milestones but that’s not all! We also incorporate American Sign Language into our daily routines. Our Singing Sprouts music program fosters music appreciation in even our youngest learners. Interactive Whiteboard Technology makes learning come alive in our Pre-K classrooms.
We would love for you to visit us! We have an open door policy from 7:00 am to 6:30 pm. Better yet, call to schedule a tour and see our expert childcare staff in action!
Hope to see you soon!
