We Share Your Values

Over 26 years ago, Lightbridge Academy was founded by the Falzarano family on a foundation of family values. These core values and our Circle of Care philosophy are guiding lights for how we operate our own child care centers, and for over 10 years, our model for creating a culture of care in each Lightbridge Academy franchise center.

We Understand Your Business

Every business owner has a different reason and timing for transitioning out of their business. From wanting more time with their family to enjoying a well-deserved retirement, or a desire to take on a new challenge, each person is different. We have years of experience helping center owners through their transition with a careful eye on maintaining continuity of care for children, families, staff members, and the entire community.

No two business owners are alike, and so our franchise acquisition options aren’t one-size-fits-all. In order to help the franchise acquisition process along, we offer purchase-to-own options and lease takeovers. We’ll work with you to determine the best choice for you.

We Preserve Your Legacy

Your child care center is a testament to your passion for enriching the lives of the children and families in your community. We would be honored to have the opportunity to continue your legacy. The Lightbridge Academy culture is built on a foundation of family values and brings parents, children, staff members, the community, and franchise owners together as a family to create a Circle of Care. Our commitment to health, safety, and innovation gives working parents peace of mind.
