A message from us

My name is Marissa Rovensky, I am the Director here at Lightbridge Academy of Mahwah, NJ. I would like to take this time to tell you a little bit about myself. I began working with Lightbridge Academy in 2016. I am a mother to Jacob, Olivia, Mila and Nicholas, as a working mother myself, I have experienced firsthand the benefit of all that Lightbridge Academy has to offer. We pride ourselves on the way we incorporate today’s technology into our childcare setting. From the moment you check in through our contactless facial recognition system, to having the ability to stay connected to your child with our Parentview internet monitoring system, to getting surprise photos and video clips, as well as instant daily reports with the Lightbridge Journey app. 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, Singing Sprouts fosters music appreciation in even our youngest learners, Interactive Whiteboard Technology makes learning come alive in our Pre-K classrooms, and throw in our super fun extracurricular activities, that is what makes learning at Lightbridge Academy an extraordinary experience. 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! — Marissa Rovensky, Center Director
