Daycare & Preschool in Somerset, NJ

Welcome to Lightbridge Academy of Somerset, NJ! My name is Jade, and I am delighted to introduce myself as the Center Director at Lightbridge Academy of Somerset. I have been working in the field of early childhood education for nearly nine years, holding a variety of roles that have shaped my passion for this work. I began my journey as an assistant teacher, and from the very first day, I knew that childcare was where I was meant to be. As both an educator and a mother of two, I understand firsthand how important it is to provide a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment for children to learn and grow. I am committed to ensuring that every child who walks through our door feels valued, supported, and cared for—just as I would want for my own children. As the saying goes, “it takes a village,” and I am truly honored to be a part of yours.

From the first hello of the day to the last good-bye, we want every child to feel safe, nurtured, and excited to learn and grow with us, and for you to consider us a true partner in the development and education of your child. We go beyond what’s expected, creating a one-of-a-kind educational experience for the children we care for and the families who cherish them. The early years of life are the most crucial and set the foundation for a lifelong love of learning. Our proprietary Seedlings curriculum focuses on the whole child, incorporating areas such as reading and writing readiness, language and literacy, social and emotional development, STREAM (science, technology, reading, engineering, art, math), and utilizing the outdoor learning environment for collaborative learning and play. Our center also offers state-of-the-art technology which allows us to reach our goal of keeping parents connected to our center and to their child throughout the day. We look forward to meeting you and having you join our family!
