Today at Lightbridge Academy of Valhalla, we’re celebrating with fun and creative playdough activities for our little ones! Playing with playdough isn’t just fun—it’s a fantastic way for young children to strengthen their fine motor skills, spark creativity, and practice early problem-solving. Squishing, rolling, and shaping also helps build hand-eye coordination and encourages sensory exploration. We can’t wait to see the colorful creations our friends make today!

This week at Lightbridge Academy of Valhalla, we will be spending time engaging in yoga and calming activities to celebrate the benefits of movement, breathing, and mindfulness. Yoga is a special part of our curriculum year-round, helping our little learners strengthen their bodies, improve balance, and develop self-regulation skills. Through simple poses, stretching, and mindful breathing, children learn how to calm their minds, focus their attention, and manage big emotions—all skills that support lifelong learning and well-being. We’re excited to share a week full of peace, positivity, and mindful moments together!

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.
