Lightbridge Academy

ISELIN, NJ - Lightbridge Academy, an early education and child care franchise with locations in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia and North Carolina, is offering full-day kindergarten and in-person remote-learning support programs in many of their centers as The Solution for Working Parents®.&nbsp;"During this challenging year, we wanted to look for ways to help further support our network of working parents,” said Gigi Schweikert, COO and president of Lightbridge Academy. “We decided that by offering remote learning and full-day kindergarten, we could help alleviate some of the stresses that busy families have been dealing with for months now."Lightbridge Academy’s supplemental educational program came about as a response to the challenges many parents have been facing as they adjust to at-home learning during the coronavirus pandemic. The company has always supported working parents trying to balance their children’s educational needs with the demand of their workplace. And now, these programs are an evolution of the type of support working parents need more than ever before. Kindergarten and elementary-aged students benefit not only from the additional educational support and oversight provided by the teaching staff but also from the socialization Lightbridge’s limited classroom environments offer.“I was very nervous to begin virtual learning again after having a difficult three months at the end of last school year. I was so thrilled once I dropped Julianna off the first day at Lightbridge and saw all the amazing things the team had done to prepare for virtual learning,” said Manalapan Lightbridge Academy parent Krysti Brandt. “The teachers are well organized and so flexible! I am so impressed with how they are able to individualize learning for each of the students who are all on different schedules. The most important part for me is how happy Julianna is. There are no more tears or fights to complete virtual learning since she is at Lightbridge with her favorite teachers!&nbsp; Her work is done well and she is excited to be with her friends and teachers each day.”&nbsp;To ensure the health and safety of both staff and students, participating Lightbridge Academy centers are offering full-day kindergarten with limited class sizes as well as extended-day programs. The comprehensive curriculum for the program will follow Common Core standards.&nbsp;Lightbridge’s remote-learning program offers in-person support to elementary-aged students through fifth grade during virtual learning days, help with homework and child care before and after regular school days in small group sizes. Additionally, access to secured networks for internet connectivity for online learning is available as well as access to technology like tablets and interactive whiteboards.Now more than ever, health and safety are top priorities for students and teachers at Lightbridge Academy. Along with enhanced protocols, the Lightbridge Promise sets the gold standard in the child care industry. All centers have invested in an advanced air purification and filtration system that continuously purifies the air and sterilizes all visible surfaces and all staff members are required to attain their CPR and first aid certification. All parents find peace of mind staying connected to their children’s day through the company’s ParentView® Internet Monitoring System which provides them with access to classroom cameras.&nbsp;"We have always taken children's health and safety seriously — and we certainly have taken even more precautions this year to do our utmost to keep everyone in our Circle of Care safe,” said Lightbridge Academy’s CEO, Guy Falzarano. “The investment our centers have made into air purification and filtration systems, in addition to enhanced procedures, are the type of “over and above” efforts that families deserve and have come to expect from us."Enrollment for these programs has accelerated as public school districts manage their in-school and remote plans.

Lightbridge Academy provides early education and child care to children ages six weeks through kindergarten, as well as special programming for children up to 10 years old for summer camp and a new school age remote learning program.
