A Message From Us

At Lightbridge Academy of Glenside, Spring brings opportunities for growth, fresh beginnings, and exciting discovery. Our days are filled with hands-on learning, blossoming friendships, and meaningful moments that help children build confidence, spark curiosity, and embrace the world around them.

I’m Jaclyn Hines, Center Director, and it is truly a joy to lead a team of dedicated educators who are passionate about helping every child learn, grow, and shine. With over 15 years of experience in early childhood education, I am proud to foster a community where children feel supported, families feel valued, and everyone feels right at home.

We are honored to be NAEYC-accredited and a Keystone STAR 4 center - recognitions that reflect our ongoing commitment to providing high-quality care and education for every child we serve.

Our leadership team plays an essential role in creating a welcoming experience for each family who walks through our doors. Caroline Vinson, Assistant Director, brings thoughtful leadership and heart to our center, while Silvia De La Hoz Vivas, Administrative Assistant, keeps our days running smoothly with her warmth and attention to detail. Together, they are the foundation of our front office and a trusted support system for our families.

Through our Seedlings curriculum, children engage in enriching, hands-on experiences that nurture curiosity, creativity, and social-emotional growth. From early literacy and science exploration to art, movement, and outdoor adventures, each day is intentionally designed to inspire a lifelong love of learning. Families stay closely connected through our real-time parent communication app, sharing in every milestone and magical 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.
