Welcome to Lightbridge Academy of Whippany! We are so happy to be celebrating years in the Hanover Township Community! My name is Sandra Zazzera and I am the Director at Lightbridge Academy, Whippany. I started with the company in 2007 (as Rainbow Academy). I have over 35 years of experience as a teacher/administrator. I have 3 children, ages 23, 22 & 18!! Our Assistant Director, Tara Kaltsas, started with the company in 2016 and has ten years of teaching experience and four years of administrative experience. Tara has a 30 month old here in our Older Toddler classroom and has a newborn baby just born in Jan. She also has two older children who are ages 13 and 15!

We know that leaving your children in our capable hands takes a big leap of trust, and we thank you for allowing us to have that honor. We pride ourselves on the ability to be The Solution for Working Families®. When you drop your child off at our location, you are still able to be connected to their day through the use of our extensive technology systems. From the moment you check in with MomentPath upon entry to the center, to having the ability to stay connected to your child with our ParentView® Internet monitoring system, to getting surprise photos and video clips; as well as instant daily reports with MomentPath Communication Technology, you are involved in every aspect of their care and learning, even when you can't physically be with them.

Every moment is a learning moment at Lightbridge Academy and it shows! Our curriculum is designed to help infants, toddlers and preschool children meet key developmental milestones but that is not all! We also incorporate American Sign Language into our daily routines, and our music program, Singing Sprouts fosters music appreciation in even our youngest learners! We also have Interactive Whiteboard Technology that makes learning come alive in our Pre-K classrooms. We would love for you to visit us! We are offering virtual tours, hallway center walk throughs, and evening tours. We are open from 6:30 am to 6:30 pm. We are looking forward to meeting all of you!

Hope to see you soon!

Sandra Zazzera, Director
