A Message From Us

In our Preschool program, nurturing care meets strong early learning foundations. Through hands-on exploration and purposeful play, we spark curiosity, build communication skills, and encourage growing independence every single day.

The early years matter — and it’s never too early to plan ahead. Enrollment for the upcoming school year is already underway, and securing your child’s spot now sets the stage for a confident, successful transition to Kindergarten.

Fun Fact:
Children who attend high-quality early learning programs are significantly more prepared for Kindergarten — socially, emotionally, and academically. And yes, three-year-olds can ask “why?” up to 100 times a day… and we celebrate every single one!

Hi there! My name is Becky Grovenstein, and I am one of the owners of this amazing school. Before jumping in to a dream of opening a childcare school where trust is at the center of any relationship, I was a elementary music teacher.
- I truly believe that before any child speaks they sing, before they write they draw, and before the run they dance!
- I am the lucky mom of two beautiful daughters.
- I am so excited to meet all of you and welcome you to the Lightbridge Academy Family.

Hi, my name is Brian Grovenstein, I am the ying to Becky’s yang as the other owner of this awesome school. I bring the business, finance and IT talents to our partnership.
- I am a Girl Dad through and through, who learns something new every day.
- Being an advocate for our families, teachers and our child care community is my mission.
- I am looking forward to meeting you all around Lightbridge Academy!

Hello, My name is Jacquie Evans, and I am the Regional Manager for both Lightbridge Academy Apex and Holly Springs. I have a real passion for child care and love to challenge our admin teams to elevate themselves and our program every day.
- My two active boys keep my scheduling brain and coaching skills busy no matter what sidelines I'm on.
- With over 18 years of experience in child care I truly believe the relationships we cultivate with our families is the most important thing we can do for the children we care for.
- I look forward to journeying with you through the registration and enrollment process for your child to become a Lightbridge Academy student.

Hi, my name is Amanda Clayton, and I am so excited to be joining the Lightbridge team as the center director! I have been working in Early Childhood Education for 8 years. I completed my Bachelors in Education at NC State, Go Wolfpack!
- I currently live in Clayton with my fiancé and two spoiled pups, Jackson and Lana.
- It is my belief that early childhood education plays such a crucial role in the lives of children; it creates the building blocks for learning, creativity, and exploration.
- I love building relationships with each child and creating a safe place for learning to grow. I look forward to getting to know you and your family!

My name is Alexandria Davis, Alex for short, and I am the assistant director. I graduated from the University of North Carolina- Chapel Hill with a bachelor’s in education specializing in Human Development & Family Science. I began working in preschools right after I finished college and found my passion for early childhood education.
- In my free time I enjoy reading, discovering new places, attending sporting events (Go Heels), spending time with my big family, and painting.
- I absolutely love watching children grow and get excited about all the new things they are constantly learning.
- Being able to assist families in all aspects of the preschool journey and love little ones as they begin to discover the world is such an honor and brings me new joys each day.

Can I enroll my child in Lightbridge Academy at any time?

Yes. Enrollment at all Lightbridge Academy locations is ongoing as long as space is available.

Is there a minimum or maximum number of days per week my child can attend Lightbridge Academy?

All Lightbridge Academy locations are open Monday through Friday. Most programs are available from 2 to 5 days per week. Back-up care is available on a daily and space available basis.

How will I be informed about my child's progress at Lightbridge Academy?
Effective communication happens on an ongoing and daily basis through our parent eCommunication app. You will receive ongoing and daily reports detailing important classroom announcements, reminders, photos, and videos so you won’t miss a thing! It is also a great tool for doctor visits helping to keep track of important information such as what your child ate, how they slept and even potty details. In addition, teachers will track your child’s development by taking observation notes based on our curriculum. We review this information with you twice a year at our Parent Teacher conferences. Of course, directors and teachers are always available to speak with you at any time.
What is the average adult to child ratio at most Lightbridge Academy locations?
Each Lightbridge Academy center meets or exceeds state regulations regarding adult to child ratios. You can rest assured that your child will receive an abundance of attention from trained and caring early childhood professionals.
