Lightbridge Academy
We operate Lightbridge Academy Centers that provide early learning and child care for infants as young as 6 weeks, toddlers, preschool and kindergarten-age children. Our centers also offer summer camps, before-care, after-care, and back-up care for school-age children. We serve families looking for year-round child care and education in a center-based setting, with programs designed for different age groups and care needs. A typical center is about 10,000 to 11,600 square feet and serves roughly 140 to 200 children, subject to local capacity limits. Each center is run by a full-time Director and a trained full-time Assistant Director who oversee day-to-day operations.
