We look for new ways to more effectively manage our centers, support the classroom environment and provide peace of mind to parents.<\/p>\n In 1998 we introduced ParentView\u00ae Internet Monitoring, a technology that enables parents to stay connected throughout the day. This led to the 2011 launch of a parent eCommunication app that sends families pictures and videos with real time reports and milestone updates.<\/p>\n Our top priority has always been a healthy and safe environment for all those in our Circle of Care to love, learn and thrive. This is why we have The Lightbridge Promise \u2013 the Gold Standard in the child care industry for cleanliness, security and peace of mind. The Lightbridge Promise includes six trusted commitments in every center for peace of mind, including air purification and filtration systems in every center.<\/p>\n These enhancements, in addition to many others, have continued to keep us at the forefront as Innovators in Educational Child Care\u00ae[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/lightbridgeacademy.com\/westwood-nj\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/130\/2024\/04\/educational_child_care-1.png” align=”center” align_tablet=”left” align_phone=”left” align_last_edited=”off|desktop” _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”default” width_last_edited=”off|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ module_id=”career” _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px|40px|100px|40px|false|true” locked=”on” collapsed=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ make_equal=”on” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” module_id=”overflow-row” _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#A5CF6F” positioning=”none” position_origin_a=”center_center” custom_margin=”110px||110px||true|false” custom_margin_tablet=”110px||0px||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”110px||0px||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_padding_tablet=”||||false|true” custom_padding_phone=”||||false|true” border_radii=”on|10px|10px|10px|10px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/lightbridgeacademy.com\/westwood-nj\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/130\/2024\/04\/220523LBA-1034_trimmed_0.png” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”default” transform_scale_tablet=”100%|100%” transform_scale_phone=”100%|100%” transform_scale_last_edited=”off|desktop” transform_translate_last_edited=”off|desktop” transform_rotate_last_edited=”off|desktop” transform_skew_last_edited=”off|desktop” transform_origin_last_edited=”off|desktop” transform_styles_last_edited=”off|desktop” custom_margin=”-50px||-50px||true|false” custom_margin_tablet=”||0px||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”||0px||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_css_main_element=”margin-top:-40px;||margin-bottom:-40px;||” box_shadow_style=”preset1″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_css_main_element=”align-self:center;” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”b57449e8-e3b4-4d6b-8f35-fe4043f4ecf5″ header_2_text_color=”#FFFFFF” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”default” header_4_font=”Arial||||||||” header_4_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_4_font_size=”35px” header_4_line_height=”1.1em” header_6_font=”Manrope|700||on|||||” header_6_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_6_font_size=”24px” header_6_line_height=”1.3em” custom_margin=”||-5px||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”||-5px||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”||0px|0px|false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” header_4_font_size_tablet=”35px” header_4_font_size_phone=”18px” header_4_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_6_font_size_tablet=”20px” header_6_font_size_phone=”16px” header_6_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” text_orientation_tablet=”center” text_orientation_phone=”center” text_orientation_last_edited=”on|tablet” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Manrope||||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”1.71em” header_font=”Playfair Display||on||||||” header_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_font_size=”95px” header_2_font=”Playfair Display||on||||||” header_2_text_color=”#008ACB” header_2_font_size=”43px” custom_margin=”||40px||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” text_font_size_tablet=”16px” text_font_size_phone=”16px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_font_size_tablet=”95px” header_font_size_phone=”35px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” text_orientation_tablet=”center” text_orientation_phone=”center” text_orientation_last_edited=”on|tablet” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Love what you do every day!
