Specialties

Lightbridge Academy offers early learning programs for Infants, Toddlers, and Preschool aged children with summer camps for older children. The Seedlings Early Childhood Education Program focuses on the needs of each individual child and the curriculum fosters a lifelong love of learning, while simultaneously developing a solid foundation for cognitive, social, and emotional development. Enrichment programs included are sign language, Spanish and music.

Our flexible year-​round programs offer extended hours to lessen the stress at drop-​off and pick-​up times. Everything we do revolves around supporting the needs of our families and we’re constantly asking what we can do to make parents lives easier and further enrich the lives of their children.

Our state-​of-​the-​art facilities are a step above other child care centers and offer high levels of security, interactive whiteboards, Tadpoles parent e-​communication app and the exclusive ParentView® Internet Monitoring. Visit us today!

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.
