For working families, achieving this can be particularly challenging. As more parents and caregivers engage in full-time employment, the demand for reliable child care solutions during working hours has increased. This necessity has contributed to the significant growth of the early childhood education industry. By providing dependable child care, we enable parents to participate actively in the workforce, which enhances household incomes and bolsters economic growth. Moreover, high-quality early childhood education settings are crucial for the early development of children, laying a strong foundation for their future educational success.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">The U.S. early childhood education market size was estimated at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grandviewresearch.com\/industry-analysis\/us-child-care-market\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$61.7 billion in 2023<\/a>, and it\u2019s expected to grow at an annual rate of 5.86% through 2030*. Globally, the early childhood education industry is led by franchises that provide <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zionmarketresearch.com\/report\/early-childhood-education-market#:~:text=Early%20Childhood%20Education%20Industry%20Prospective,8.21%25%20between%202023%20and%202030.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">early learning opportunities<\/a>, like Lightbridge Academy. More parents of young children are moving away from traditional daycares, preferring instead to place their children in early childhood education centers that offer age-appropriate learning and enrichment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Lightbridge Academy\u2019s Seedlings\u00ae Early Childhood Curriculum meets the standard of accreditation for the Association for Early Learning Leaders and the National Accreditation Commission for Early Care and Education Programs. It\u2019s focused on the whole child and all areas of growth, taking a multi-sensory approach to education. From our littlest learners in the infant program to pre-k, our proprietary curriculum addresses all learning domains including cognitive, language and literacy, motor, and social\/emotional. It\u2019s a uniquely effective approach to early learning, and it is demonstrated in our students\u2019 kindergarten readiness results. According to our 2023-24 Vine Assessment, children who were instructed by the Seedlings curriculum showed a 97% rate of proficiency in the skills necessary for elementary school success.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; module_id=&#8221;perfectBalance&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;338428b8-687d-4516-975a-0ba02c07f094&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|40px|0px|40px|false|true&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; make_equal=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;4feb3c47-a0cf-4640-a011-4f76602c44b3&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;75px|12px|50px|12px|false|true&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|25px|||false|false&#8221; custom_css_main_element=&#8221;align-self: center;&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/lightbridgeacademy.com\/franchise\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/78\/2024\/07\/lba-proven-business-model.jpg&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||50px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;||50px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;||25px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|15px|15px|15px|15px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|||50px|false|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;|||0px|false|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;|||0px|false|false&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; custom_css_main_element=&#8221;align-self: center;&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;b57449e8-e3b4-4d6b-8f35-fe4043f4ecf5&#8243; header_font=&#8221;Manrope|800|on||||||&#8221; header_text_color=&#8221;#A5CF6F&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#008ACB&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;55px&#8221; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;55px&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;36px&#8221; text_orientation_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; text_orientation_phone=&#8221;center&#8221; text_orientation_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Our Proven Business Model<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;db3cf067-af8f-496b-be34-bc9e58485b42&#8243; text_font=&#8221;Manrope||||||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.71em&#8221; header_font=&#8221;Playfair Display||on||||||&#8221; header_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; header_font_size=&#8221;95px&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Playfair Display||on||||||&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#008ACB&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;43px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|||0px|false|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;|||0px|false|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;|||0px|false|false&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; header_font_size_tablet=&#8221;95px&#8221; header_font_size_phone=&#8221;35px&#8221; header_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; text_orientation_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; text_orientation_phone=&#8221;center&#8221; text_orientation_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Lightbridge Academy\u2019s business model is built on a solid foundation of operational efficiency allowing our franchisees to scale with multiple units, and many enjoying expansion into new markets.
