A Message From Us

At Lightbridge Academy of Glenside, the new year brings exciting opportunities for growth, discovery, and connection—and January sets the tone for a year full of learning and possibility.

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

We are honored to be both NAEYC-accredited and a Keystone STAR 4 center—recognitions that reflect our unwavering commitment to excellence in early childhood care and education.

As we step into the new year, our leadership team continues to shine.

Together, they form the heart of our front office, ensuring every family receives exceptional communication and support.

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.
