History

Established in 1997.

From the first ‘hello’ of the day, to the last ‘good-​bye’, we want every child to feel safe, nurtured and excited to learn and grow with us, and for you to consider us a true partner in the development and education of your child.

You have trusted us to care and educate your children for many years as Rainbow Academy child care centers and as your little ones have grown so have we! In 2014, Rainbow Academy changed our name to Lightbridge Academy. Lightbridge Academy is the same family, just a new name. This new name reflects the evolution of who we have been, how we have grown and the future that we are embracing.

It all begins with our Circle of Care philosophy, which empowers everyone within the Lightbridge Academy family to create a one-​of-​a-​kind educational experience for the children we care for and the families that cherish them.

Meet the Business Owner

Tara D.

Business Owner

I’m Tara DeFalco, center director of Lightbridge Academy of Manasquan and I am a working mother! I know the struggles that working parents go through and love that I come to work every day to help make the lives of working parents easier. My son Roman has attended Lightbridge Academy since he was 12 weeks old. I appreciate the quality of care that is provided to my children by their teachers. They come to school happy, eager & ready to take on the day in their home away from home! It is my personal goal to make all parents feel such comfort when dropping their children off with us each and every day.

It is these such positive experiences that I have benefited from which has lead us to develop our school to be the best in the area. I am thrilled to say that Lightbridge Academy of Manasquan has been voted the Best of the Best for childcare in Monmouth County for 3 years running!

Please stop by and see for yourself why our parents have such comfort in leaving their children in our care.
