Preschool & Daycare in Apex, NC

Falling for Every Little Moment & Every BIG Step!

Fall is a season of change, and nowhere is that more exciting than in early childhood education! Just think—this time next year, our Pre-K children will be walking the halls of elementary school, making new friends, and taking on BIG adventures. What BIG steps they’ll take in just one year!

When we opened Lightbridge Academy Apex in 2021, we dreamed of creating more than a childcare center. We envisioned a school where children are known, families feel connected, and teachers are inspired to grow.

Five years later, we’ve celebrated countless BIG steps—from babies learning to walk and toddlers finding their voices to preschoolers discovering their independence and Pre-K graduates confidently heading off to kindergarten. Along the way, we’ve watched families grow, siblings follow in each other’s footsteps, and teachers become mentors and leaders.

As parents and educators, we believe every little milestone matters. Through nurturing relationships and whole-child learning, we’re building curiosity, confidence, friendships, and a lifelong love of learning. And just as we celebrate children’s growth, we invest in our teachers through professional development, recognition, and opportunities to grow their careers.

The seasons may change, but our commitment to children, families, and teachers never will. We’re proud of the community we’ve grown here in Apex and can’t wait to celebrate your family’s next BIG steps!

Our Leadership Team:

Meet Our Regional Manager, Jacquie Evans!

Hi! I’m Jacquie, Regional Manager for Lightbridge Academy Apex and Holly Springs. With more than 18 years in Early Childhood Education, I have a true passion for creating exceptional experiences for children and families—and for challenging our leadership teams to keep learning, growing, and raising the bar every day.

I believe some of the most important work we do begins with relationships. When families feel known, supported, and connected to their child’s school, we create an even stronger environment for children to learn, grow, and take those BIG Steps.

Outside of Lightbridge, I’m a mom to two active boys who keep my scheduling brain and coaching skills sharp no matter which sideline I’m on!

I look forward to getting to know your family and supporting you from your first tour and enrollment through all the milestones and BIG Steps ahead.

Meet Our Center Director, Alexandria “Alex” Davis!

Hi! I’m Alex, and I’m proud to serve as the Center Director at Lightbridge Academy Apex. I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a bachelor’s degree in Education, specializing in Human Development & Family Science. I began working in preschools right after college and quickly discovered my passion for Early Childhood Education.

One of my favorite parts of what I do is watching children experience those BIG Steps—the excitement of learning something new, gaining independence, building confidence, and discovering more about the world around them. It’s an honor to support our families throughout their preschool journey and to love and encourage their little ones along the way.

Outside of Lightbridge, you’ll usually find me reading, painting, exploring somewhere new, spending time with my big family, or cheering at a sporting event—Go Heels!

I look forward to getting to know your family, celebrating your child’s milestones, and being part of all the learning, laughter, and BIG Steps ahead!
