And that’s not all! We bring learning to life with:
-Cool interactive whiteboard technology
-ParentView® live streaming to check in anytime
-Lightbridge Journey® updates with daily photos, videos & messages—so you never miss a moment!
Come see why so many families call us their home away from home. We’d love to welcome you in for a cup of coffee or tea and a fun, personalized tour of our center.
Let’s chat, explore, and start your child’s learning journey together. We can’t wait to meet you and your little one! 💛
Welcome to Lightbridge Academy of Matawan! Congratulations on taking the first step toward securing a high-quality educational experience for your child! We’re so excited to meet you and invite you to take a personalized tour of our center, conveniently located in Matawan, NJ—just a short drive from Aberdeen, Cliffwood, Keyport, Old Bridge, and surrounding areas.
My name is Kayla, and I’m proud to serve as the Center Director here at Lightbridge Academy of Matawan! As an educator and lifelong learner, I’m honored to be a part of the Lightbridge Academy Circle of Care—supporting not only your child, but also your family, our dedicated staff, and the broader community in a nurturing, engaging environment.
My journey with Lightbridge began as the Blue Horse Preschool Lead Teacher at our Lawrenceville location. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of growing into my current role as Center Director, and I bring with me over a decade of experience in early childhood education. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s in Human Behavior Psychology, with a focus on Child Development.
When I’m not at the center, you’ll likely find me traveling, hiking, reading, or spending time with my sweet dog, Paisley!
We can’t wait to welcome you into our Lightbridge family and show you what makes our center such a special place for learning, growth, and community.
Schedule your tour today—we’d love to meet you and your little one!
