Welcome

Thank you for your interest in Lightbridge Academy Hampton Township! From the very first “Hello" we want every child to feel safe, nurtured and excited to learn with us and for every parent to consider us a partner in the development and education of their child.

My name is Mary Hajdukiewicz and I am the Center Director. I love being at Lightbridge Academy where the teachers, owners, parents, and students work together under our Circle of Care. I have my bachelor's degree in Education from Carlow University. I have been in the education field for the last 20 years. I have always had a passion for working with children and fostering a nurturing and educational environment in the school. I cannot wait to continue to get to know all the families personally and welcome them and their children into our Circle of Care!

Our Assistant Director is Rachel Brohn. She has a Bachelor of Science Degree in education for Vocal and Instrumental Music from Martin Luther College in New Ulm, Minnesota. She has worked in the elementary school and childcare industry for 5 years, and she truly loves working with families and helping them through this phase of raising their children. She has three young children, and she knows how important it is to have a center that provides the best possible care, along with a quality early childhood education.

We also have Maggie Ross, who is our Education Coordinator. She went to school at CCAC for Early Education. Her philosophy for Early Childhood Education is giving each child the opportunity to learn through play and adventure.  Over the past 14+ years she has worked in every age group and has provided care as an assistant, lead teacher, and then regional director. At Lightbridge academy she now has the opportunity to ensure the highest standard of educational excellence is met while mentoring our teaching staff.

The owners of our center are Mia Fidei, Cara Clayton and Ted Yannotti, a father-daughters team. Cara and Mia have both business and education backgrounds. They loved the idea of owning a family business that lets them interact with the children every day. When choosing Lightbridge Academy, our owners, were most impressed with our circle of care philosophy and how it is implemented in every school within the Lightbridge Academy family!

We are very excited to meet more families and share all that Lightbridge Academy has to offer! We would love the opportunity to welcome you to our center and become a part of something extraordinary!
