A Message From Us<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

\r\n\tWelcome to Lightbridge Academy of Rutherford, NJ! We have been proudly serving Bergen County families including nearby towns such as Nutley, East Rutherford, Secaucus, Wood-Ridge, and Lyndhurst for over two decades, and we are so thankful to have created endless memories with hundreds of wonderful families! My name is Dina Tirgrath and I am the Center Director. I have my Bachelor\u2019s Degree in Child Advocacy from Montclair State University and have been at the Rutherford Center since June 2011 where I have worked as an Assistant Teacher and Lead Teacher in our Mobile Infant and Young Toddler classrooms! I am a wife and a mother to a fun and energetic German Shepherd puppy and an Auntie to my wonderful triplet nieces who have also attended this school! In my spare time, I love to spend time with family, go on road trips with my husband and pup and get involved in the community at different events! Agata Wyszomirski is the Assistant Director. She has her Master\u2019s Degree in Early Childhood Education and has worked for Lightbridge Academy since March 2009. Agata is a wife and mother and enjoys spending time with her family and two golden doodles. In her spare time, she enjoys gardening, arts & crafts and photography! We are all family here, and we invite you to join us and our Circle of Care!
\r\n
\r\nWe are here for you, working families. We know it isn\u2019t easy to leave your young children in the hands of others, but we thank you for trusting us and giving us the opportunity to be a part of your wonderful family! We provide various ways to stay connected to your child throughout the day! We offer ParentView\u00ae Internet Monitoring, a live-feed camera to see into each classroom; our Lightbridge Journey app to send you fun pictures throughout the day, and we introduce a technology in our Preschool \u2013 Kindergarten classrooms! You\u2019re never far away during your workday! We are here Monday through Friday, from 7:00 am \u2013 6:30 pm. We invite you to join our Lightbridge Academy Rutherford family!
\r\n
\r\nSincerely,
\r\n
\r\nDina Tirgrath, Center Director<\/span>\r\n<\/p>\r\n
