Welcome to Lightbridge Academy of Matawan!
I’m Kayla, the Center Director, and I’m so excited you’re considering joining our Circle of Care. With over a decade in early childhood education and advanced studies in child development, I’m passionate about creating a nurturing community where children feel safe, supported, and inspired to learn.

My journey with Lightbridge—from a Preschool Lead Teacher to Center Director—has been filled with joy, growth, and incredible families just like yours. When I’m not at the center, I’m usually traveling, hiking, reading, or spending time with my pup, Paisley!

This winter, we’d love to welcome you in for a warm cup of coffee or tea and a personalized tour of our center. Come see the magic for yourself and discover why so many families call us their home away from home.

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.
