A Message From Us

My name is Sandra Zazzera and I am the Director here at Lightbridge Academy of West Caldwell, NJ. I would like to personally invite you to tour our center and experience what is so unique about Lightbridge Academy. We are more than just a daycare! Please feel free to call and schedule a personal appointment or just drop in, you are always welcome.

The 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 strive to be living examples of these every day. Our entire staff is committed to supporting you as parents, making your life less stressful and provide the highest quality of care in an interactive and fun learning environment. Our center offers extended day, year-round educational programs for Infants, Toddlers, Preschool and Pre-K aged children.

Families will enjoy state-of-the-art technology such as facial recognition scanning entry, white board technology, as well as ParentView® Internet Monitoring. Nothing can replace having peace of mind knowing that you can stay connected to your child even while you are at work! Communication is key to building healthy relationships and you can expect on-going communication with your child’s teacher through e-tools such as the Lightbridge Journey app which enables them to track developmental milestones and send parents daily reports, videos and pictures highlighting special moments. It’s not enough to say that you care, you have to show it through each and every interaction.

All Bergen County families are welcome to visit us and discover why our parents experience peace of mind knowing that their children are receiving the best possible care, along with a quality early childhood education!

Can I enroll my child in Lightbridge Academy at any time?
Yes. Enrollment at all Lightbridge Academy locations is ongoing as long as space is available.
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.
