I would like to nominate Ms. Amanda for Teacher of the Year. She is one of the most hard working and thoughtful teachers you will ever meet. Her tireless efforts to educate the children in her class does not go unnoticed. Being her husband, I have seen her work endlessly to come up with educational and fun lesson plans that will further her class’s education while at the same time being enough fun to keep their attention. I have heard many stories about her efforts with kids in her class whether they need the extra attention or not and Ms. Amanda is always there for them and always willing to give them everything they need to be successful after they graduate kindergarten. Ms. Amanda is a perfect fit for Teacher of the Year because she cares and I have no doubt that she has positively impacted every child who has come through her classroom for the rest of their lives and they are lucky to have done so. Ms. Amanda is most deserving of the title Teacher of the Year because even when the year is over, her efforts do not.

Ms. Blanca( brown bear) has been an amazing daycare teacher for my son. She helped him in class with so much care, patience, and dedication, and always gave him the best support. Within just a few days, my son became very comfortable, happy, and excited to go to school every day. We felt completely at ease and confident knowing he was in her care. Her kindness, positive attitude, and genuine love for children truly make a difference. She creates a safe, nurturing, and encouraging environment for learning and growth. Ms. Blanca is truly one of the best teachers, and we are very grateful for everything she has done for our son.

I am so happy that I came across Lightbridge Academy of Rutherford. My daughter has been attending since September and she absolutely loves her teachers ( Mrs. Pricila, Mrs. Yudely, Mrs. Jaida, and the teacher assistants Ms. Kayla and Ms. Elizabeth) are all the sweetest and Gianna absolutely loves them all! She does have a special place in her heart for Mrs. Pricila though <3 They have all been key in making Gianna's daycare experience a memorable one as well as helping her having a smooth transition in the beginning of the school year and continuing to support her in every way they can. Gianna has made so much progress in so many areas, including developing social skills, following directions, and recently started potty training, and her teachers have been a huge help in that as well! The staff at the front are also very friendly, always have a big smile and seem very caring for the kids. I couldn't have made a better choice for my daughter. Thank you Lightbridge Academy Rutherford family!

My daughter has been attending this school since she was 2 years old, and we've had a positive experience with both her teachers so far and the lovely aids in her classroom. Ms. Jennifer is her current teacher, and we love her so much! She's great with the students, and my daughter has learned so much already!!! (Special shout out also to Mrs. Priscila, Ms. Natasha, Ms. Jaida, and Ms. Andrea <3)

Ms. Blanca has been an incredible influence in my son’s growth this year. Under her care, he has grown into a confident, happy toddler who actively engages and socializes with other children. She creates a supportive environment where Liam feels safe to explore, learn, and express himself. We are so grateful for her dedication she shows every day.
