Choosing child care is one of the biggest decisions a family makes, and knowing what to look for makes it easier. Start with the curriculum. Look for a real, research-based program rather than simple supervision. At Lightbridge Academy of Timonium, our proprietary Seedlings® curriculum is built on the work of five respected educators, Jean Piaget, Howard Gardner, Maria Montessori, Loris Malaguzzi, and Friedrich Fröbel, and it guides children across nine areas of development from infancy through Pre-K. It integrates STREAM learning, which is science, technology, reading, engineering, arts, and math, and it follows a simple belief that learning is fun.

Next, look closely at safety and technology. Our center uses facial recognition entry, continuously monitored environments, and center-wide air purification and filtration, and every staff member is CPR and first aid certified. Inside the classroom, we use name-to-face checks, so a teacher accounts for each child by name and face throughout the day.
Then look at the people and the communication. Our educators are warm, qualified, and genuinely invested in your child, and through the Lightbridge Journey App we log your child's day and send updates in real time. Ask whether you can see your child during the day. Our ParentView® tool lets you watch your child's classroom by live stream from your phone. Finally, trust the feel of the room and the strength of the relationships. This is the heart of our Circle of Care®, which surrounds every child with parents, teachers, and community. The best last step is always to visit in person.
