A Message From Us

My name is Jessica Crimmins and I am the Center Director of our Iselin location. I have my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and took additional classes in Early Childhood. I have been a part of Lightbridge Academy since 2019 and over 10 years of experience in the childcare industry! I love spending quality time with my family and friends. I also enjoy going to concerts! I am a dog mommy to my two girls Stella and Lilly. Our Assistant Director, Katherine Rocha began her career with Lightbridge in 2017 in our Manalapan location and has been a valued member of the Lightbridge Academy Family ever since. She enjoys spending time with her family and friends and is always going above and beyond for them! We know that leaving your children in our capable hands takes a big leap of trust, and we thank you for allowing us to have that honor.

Every moment is a learning moment at Lightbridge Academy and it shows! Our Seedlings curriculum focuses on the whole child and is designed to help infants, toddlers and preschool children meet key developmental milestones. We strive to meet the needs of our working families as well as our stay-at-home moms/dads who are looking for a program that will offer early education and socialization for their children on a part time basis. In order to do so, we offer our families a flexibility in programming, ranging from 2, 3 or 5 days per week for children ages 6 weeks through Preschool/Pre-K. We look forward to meeting you and having you join our family!
