Opportunity

A Child Care Franchise That Grows

Child care is a meaningful and enriching industry that’s also recession-resilient. During the pandemic, for example, Lightbridge Academy proved to be an essential resource for families who needed to balance the demands of at-home learning, remote work, and their work-life balance. Looking ahead, the need for quality child care has never been greater, and the demand is only growing.

Why Choose Lightbridge Academy

Lightbridge Academy stands out among child care franchise opportunities for many different reasons, including our industry-leading technology, refined business model, proven system, high-quality curriculum, hands-on training, and ongoing support. We have turned an unparalleled body of knowledge, insight, and guidance into an experience that is exactly what families are looking for and what children need. Better yet, we’ve created a business model for franchisees to follow and bring Lightbridge Academy
into their community.

TESTIMONIALS

Hear From Franchise Owners

In 2019, franchisee couple Greg and Dina Hamwi of Holmdel, New Jersey opened the doors of their very own Lightbridge Academy child care franchise in Shrewsbury, New Jersey with the goal of raising the bar for education in their community.

“Children thrive and develop in different ways, so it is our goal to cultivate a stimulating environment that expands their innate abilities through various learning areas,” said Dina. “Our educators encourage children with a ‘learning is fun’ philosophy through play and positive reinforcement and build upon the skills they acquire at various ages of their development.”
