A Message From Us

At Lightbridge Academy of Glenside, summer is packed with sunshine, adventure, and unforgettable experiences! Our action-filled Summer Camp and seasonal programming give children the perfect balance of fun, friendship, and learning. From splash days and outdoor adventures to special visitors, exciting theme weeks, STEM challenges, creative art projects, and hands-on discoveries, every day is designed to keep children engaged, active, and smiling.

I’m Jaclyn Hines, Center Director, and it is truly a joy to lead a team of dedicated educators who are passionate about creating meaningful experiences for every child. With over 15 years of experience in early childhood education, I am proud to foster a community where children feel confident, families feel connected, and every day brings something new to discover.

We are honored to be NAEYC-accredited and a Keystone STAR 4 center—recognitions that reflect our unwavering commitment to providing exceptional early education and care in a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment.

Our leadership team is dedicated to making every family's experience exceptional. Caroline Vinson, Assistant Director, brings compassionate leadership and enthusiasm to our center, while Silvia De La Hoz Vivas, Administrative Assistant, keeps everything running smoothly with her warmth, organization, and attention to detail. Together, they help create the welcoming atmosphere that families have come to know and love.

Even during the excitement of summer, learning never takes a break. Through our Seedlings curriculum, children continue building important academic, social-emotional, and developmental skills through hands-on experiences, outdoor exploration, sensory play, music, movement, literacy, and STEM activities. Families stay connected every step of the way through our real-time parent communication app, sharing in every splash, smile, milestone, and memorable moment.

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.
