Lightbridge Academy - Elmsford, New York

Christie Feeley

The cameras at Lightbridge daycare are truly invaluable, providing the wonderful ability to check in on your child throughout the day. However, I must admit that the rest of my experience was quite disappointing. The level of care varies significantly between rooms, with some providing better care than others. While the children are taken care of, there seems to be a lack of enrichment activities, making it feel more like a babysitting service than an enriching learning environment.

In my daughter's non-mobile infant room, there was constant staff turnover, which was disheartening. However, Jasmine, who took care of my daughter in her last month there, was exceptional. She displayed remarkable kindness and a genuine love and concern for the children. I wish we had experienced that level of care throughout her entire time at the daycare.

Furthermore, I experienced a sense of disappointment concerning the insufficient attention given to my daughter's milestones. Despite her readiness for advancement (as confirmed by the daycare staff), I was notified that she couldn't be moved to the appropriate room due to space limitations. I had assumed that upon her acceptance into the daycare, there would be an understanding to ensure sufficient room for her proper placement, but that didn't appear to be the case. Additionally, I was informed that she would be moved to the next room just before I notified them about her leaving, and they chose to keep her in her current room for the remaining time. This situation has led me to feel that my daughter's needs were not prioritized adequately.

My daughter was enrolled until August of 2023 so maybe things have improved but I wanted to share my experience.

I am so grateful to the staff here. I was so stressed trying to juggle 2 kids under 3, sending my toddler here twice per week has really helped my mental health. The staff are so kind to her, they have cameras so you can see everything. My daughter has improved her speech and doesn’t seem as anxious in social settings.

We love Lightbridge! Our 15mo old daughter has been enrolled since they opened in October. We were very hesitant about putting her in daycare due to Covid but after visiting and talking at length with Maureen (the Director) about it, we felt so much more comfortable. They are taking every possible precaution and its great for our daughter to interact with other kids her age. They have a beautiful brand new facility and a great curriculum, even for the infants. I love that they are already learning sign language and Spanish words. This is our first child and first experience with daycare. The entire staff has been wonderful, providing feedback and always patient to walk through any questions I've had a long the way. Cant recommend enough!

My son attended this daycare for about one year and it was a very positive experience. The staff are warm, kind, and attentive. They focus on learning through play, and come up with creative and fun activities to do with the kids each day. I never worried about my son while he was at Lightbridge, I always felt he was safe and loved. I cannot recommend them enough!

Our family felt like the staff truly cared about our children while they attended the center. The center was well run and any minor concerns that we ever had were addressed empathetically and immediately. I have recommended Lightbridge Academy to all of my mommy friends.

We can't say enough positive things about this place! The teachers, staff, director, owners -- everyone is unbelievably friendly, helpful and truly get to know each child as an individual.

We started our eldest at Lightbridge in 2021 and our second started there in 2022. Both kids have since left for 'real school' but are dying to go visit their teachers any chance they get. Luckily, our third just started there this September so we continue to be part of this amazing community.

(HUGE shoutout to Ms. Yessie, Ms. Kailyn, Ms. Jordan and Ms. Leyna! Each of you has left such a profound impact on all 3 kids -- eternally grateful <3) Kids are 1000% the #1 priority here and are nurtured with an immense amount of love and care. If you're looking for a safe and loving place for your child to grow academically and socially -- HIGHLY recommend joining this incredible community.

My husband and I are grateful for the wonderful learning environment that is Lightbridge Academy of Elmsford. Our LO has been a student there since she was nine months old and now she’s fifteen months old and learning everyday! She loves to communicate with sign language (that she’s learned at Lightbridge). I like that the teachers and administration there seem to really care about every child that is a part of their community. The Parent View allows me to take little virtual peeks of our LO during her day—and was definitely a selling point for me, as a FTM.
There’s so much more to love about Lightbridge! The friendliness and the responsiveness of the staff. I highly recommend Lightbridge Academy.
