A Message From Us

Welcome! Congratulations on taking your first step in securing a quality educational program for your child. We are excited to offer personalized tours at Lightbridge Academy in Matawan conveniently located near Aberdeen, Cliffwood, Keyport, Old Bridge, and more! My name is Kayla, and I am the Center Director of our Matawan location! As an educator, I am thrilled to be a part of the Lightbridge Academy Circle of Care embracing not only your child, but your family, community, our staff and our owners in a nurturing and supportive environment. I originally started as the Blue Horse Pre-School lead teacher at our Lawrenceville location and worked my way up to the Center Director of Matawan! I have over a decade of childcare experience. I have my bachelor’s in psychology and a Masters in Human Behavior Psychology with a content area of Children’s Development! In my spare time you can find me traveling, hiking, or spending time reading or with my dog Paisley! Every moment is a learning moment at Lightbridge Academy, and it shows! Our Seedlings curriculum focuses on the development of 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. 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 also offer state-of-the-art technologies such as white board technology, Parentview internet monitoring, and digital daily communication via Lightbridge Journey. Lightbridge Journey helps us to bridge the gap between your work and your child’s experiences while in our care, enabling us to send you pictures, videos and notes throughout the day. We truly want you to get the full Lightbridge experience! We would like to invite you to come over for a cup of coffee or tea and to take a tour of our facility. We look forward to meeting you and your child, to share our educational program and to show you how we provide peace of mind during your busy workday! We look forward to meeting you and your little one soon!

Can I enroll my child in Lightbridge Academy at any time?

Is there a minimum or maximum number of days per week my child can attend Lightbridge Academy?

All Lightbridge Academy locations are open Monday through Friday. Most programs are available from 2 to 5 days per week. Back-up care is available on a daily and space available basis.

How will I be informed about my child's progress at Lightbridge Academy?
Effective communication happens on an ongoing and daily basis through our parent eCommunication app. You will receive ongoing and daily reports detailing important classroom announcements, reminders, photos, and videos so you won’t miss a thing! It is also a great tool for doctor visits helping to keep track of important information such as what your child ate, how they slept and even potty details. In addition, teachers will track your child’s development by taking observation notes based on our curriculum. We review this information with you twice a year at our Parent Teacher conferences. Of course, directors and teachers are always available to speak with you at any time.
What is the average adult to child ratio at most Lightbridge Academy locations?
Each Lightbridge Academy center meets or exceeds state regulations regarding adult to child ratios. You can rest assured that your child will receive an abundance of attention from trained and caring early childhood professionals.
