About us
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 Lightbridge Academy a true partner in the development and education of your child. It all begins with our Circle of Care philosophy, which empowers staff members, franchise owners, and even vendors to go beyond what’s expected, creating a one-of-a-kind educational experience for the children we care for and the families who cherish them. By gaining your trust and always making decisions with your child’s health and happiness in mind, we continually strive to be the complete and total solution for hardworking families — just like you. Lightbridge Academy provides a solid curriculum for children ages six weeks old to Pre-School and offers extended hours, optional meal plans and summer camp programs. Innovative technology helps parents stay connected to their child throughout the day through our ParentView® Internet monitoring system, allowing parents access to view their child’s classroom at any point in the day via an encrypted, web based system, and our parent eCommunication app, which tracks a child’s daily achievements and allows teachers to send parent’s daily reports, reminders, photos and even video clips. We welcome the opportunity to partner with you as you navigate through these precious years of life.

There’s something powerful about stepping away from the agenda—and stepping into impact. This weekend, while attending The National Franchise Show in Orlando, FL, Jim DiRugeris, CFE and Amy H. spent time volunteering at Give Kids The World Village—bringing smiles, laughter, and unforgettable moments to families who need it most. Earlier this year, during our Lightbridge Academy Annual Conference, our community had the opportunity to support this incredible organization through the Lightbridge Foundation. So many of us were deeply moved by the joy being created—weeklong vacations for families navigating the unimaginable. And now, Jim and Amy brought that experience full circle… even adding “Carnival Ride Worker” to their résumés. It’s a reminder that our values aren’t just words—they show up in how we lead, how we serve, and how we care for others. Thank you Jim & Amy for bringing the Lightbridge Academy core values to life! #CoreValuesInAction #LightbridgeAcademy #GiveKidsTheWorld #Franchising #Leadership #Community
