I can’t say enough wonderful things about Lightbridge Academy in Hoboken, NJ! My grandson absolutely loves it here, and it warms my heart to see him so happy. The private playground is his favorite—he’s always beaming about the fun he has running around and playing water games in that safe, dedicated outdoor space. The large gym is another fantastic feature, giving him plenty of room for active play, especially on rainy days.
The staff and leadership are truly exceptional. The teachers are so warm and caring, treating my grandson like family and keeping him engaged with the amazing Seedlings curriculum. I love getting updates through the Lightbridge app with photos and videos—it keeps me connected to his day! The Center Director and leadership team are approachable, responsive, and clearly dedicated to creating a nurturing environment. The facility is clean, modern, and equipped with great features like the MicroCon 600 air purification system for added peace of mind.
Lightbridge Academy in Hoboken is a gem, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to any family looking for a loving, educational place for their child to thrive!

A Truly Exceptional Early Learning Center!
Lightbridge Academy in Hoboken has been a wonderful experience for our family, especially for my grandson! From the moment we first walked in, we felt welcomed and reassured that this was the right place for him. The staff is not only professional and knowledgeable but also genuinely caring and attentive. The leadership is outstanding—always responsive, warm, and deeply committed to the children’s growth and well-being.
One of my grandson’s favorite features is the private playground. It gives him a safe, secure space to play and explore with his classmates, and he looks forward to it every single day. The large indoor gym is another fantastic benefit, especially on rainy or colder days. It keeps the kids active and engaged no matter the weather!
What truly sets Lightbridge apart is the nurturing environment they’ve created. You can tell the staff loves what they do, and it shows in the way the children thrive. We’re so grateful to have found such a supportive, high-quality learning environment for our grandson. Highly recommend to any family looking for the very best in early childhood education in Hoboken!

We were so, incredibly lucky to have found Ghabby and her teachers to care for my son. For two and a half years, they treated him (and us!) like family, gave us invaluable parenting advice, and created a warm, nurturing environment that built his confidence and his creativity. We love them so much and are so grateful to them!

The teachers at Lightbridge genuinely care for our son. He has so much fun with his friends at daycare, and I love the variety of activities, educational topics and healthy food that is provided. Location is also excellent for me right next to the Lightrail.

I loved how friendly all the staff were. The teachers for the infant class were so organized and had great stimulating activities (finger painting, exploring different textures/items, scheduled time outdoor weather permitting etc) on a regular basis for all the babies. Their routines were thoroughly enjoyed by my son, and I appreciated the daily pictures/video updates. It helped reassure me (new mom) that my son was in great hands. Now that my son is at another lightbridge location, I realize that each facility is definitely different and they all don't hold such a high standard of engagement, organization, and activities. I miss the good morning circle my son participated in everyday. I even memorized that song lol! The routine my son had at the Marshall location doesn't exist at his current location, but I needed to have him closer to home unfortunately. I would highly recommend this location, and truly wish I was closer so he could continue there!

My 3 year old son goes to Lightbridge and we love it. He especially loves his Blue Horses teacher (<3 Ms. J) and all his friends (I.e., classmates). He’s been going there since he was ~1.5 and we love the space, especially the attached outdoor playground. He comes home singing the songs he learns, counting his numbers, saying the alphabet, and showing me his artwork. I’ve also had the privilege of getting to know a lot of the other Lightbridge parents and we’ve formed our own nice little mommy network.

Lightbridge has been of great help and support to our family in ensuring a safe, kind and supportive learning environment for our son. I particularly liked their communication around COVID which was clear , consistent , proactive and conservative in understand the risk and requirement for masking . Forever thankful!

Enrolling our son with Lightbridge Academy Hoboken Marshall was the best decision we made. The curriculum is fantastic - my son learnt so much in his two years. The teachers are amazing and care for the kids like their own. I have experience with other childcare settings so can say that Lightbridge does go above and beyond in providing high quality care.

I love this place! I feel completely at ease knowing my child spends the entire day there. As an educator, I love that they have a solid curriculum that introduces the kids to various concepts that they will need to know especially once they start real school. The parent view option is awesome, I love that I can peek in on my little guy anytime I want. The updates throughout the day on the Lightbridge app are also awesome and greatly appreciated. The staff communicates extremely well and follows any kind of changes in routine that I may tell them about. My little guy loves being there!

We are so happy to have our home away from home at LBHM for our toddler daughter and now infant son. Our daughter has been a LBHM student since 6 months old (currently almost 2 years old) and has (and continues to) thrive developmentally, socially and emotionally. She genuinely enjoys every day spent with her LBHM friends and teachers. We love the “theme of the week” for their classroom curriculum, which always makes for exciting conversation Sunday evening as to what we will be learning the upcoming week! We also love the outdoor learning environment for onsite outdoor play. The live camera feed and multitude of pictures and updates (and ability to chat directly with the LBHM teachers) through the Lightbridge App helps my working mama self feel connected to my little ones throughout the workday and I cannot stress how grateful I am for these features. All of these wonderful features aside, my absolute favorite part of LBHM is truly how loved and well cared for my children feel by all of the LBHM teachers and staff. Nothing makes me happier than seeing my 5 month old smiling constantly and engaged with his teachers or having my daughter run into school (or making us wait at pickup) for her to give hugs, blow kisses or high fives/frantically excited waves to all of her teachers and other teachers within LBHM! I strongly recommend LBHM for the care of all of the little ones in our community!!
