A message from us

As parents and educators, we know choosing a daycare or preschool is personal. You want a safe, nurturing place where your child is known and loved—but you also want to know they’re learning, growing and being prepared for what comes next.

That balance is important to us. We believe quality early childhood education means growing the whole child—from confidence, curiosity and friendships to early learning and kindergarten readiness.

And we believe great childcare starts with great teachers. We invest in training, career growth and recognition so our teachers feel supported, valued and excited to grow right alongside the children they teach.

Our hope is that Lightbridge Academy Holly Springs feels like more than the place your child goes each day. We want it to feel like a community where your child thrives, your teachers love what they do, and your family knows they’ve found their people.

Meet our Leadership Team!

Hi! I’m Jacquie, Regional Manager for Lightbridge Academy Apex and Holly Springs. With more than 18 years in Early Childhood Education, I have a true passion for creating exceptional experiences for children and families—and for challenging our leadership teams to keep learning, growing, and raising the bar every day.

I believe some of the most important work we do begins with relationships. When families feel known, supported, and connected to their child’s school, we create an even stronger environment for children to learn, grow, and take those BIG Steps.

Outside of Lightbridge, I’m a mom to two active boys who keep my scheduling brain and coaching skills sharp no matter which sideline I’m on!

I look forward to getting to know your family and supporting you from your first tour and enrollment through all the milestones and BIG Steps ahead.

Hi! I’m Amanda, and I’m so excited to be part of the Lightbridge Academy Holly Springs family as Center Director! I’ve spent the past eight years in Early Childhood Education and earned my Bachelor’s in Education from NC State—Go Wolfpack!

I believe the early years are where so many BIG Steps begin. It’s when children build confidence, discover a love of learning, explore their creativity, and develop the skills that become the foundation for what comes next. One of my favorite parts of early education is building relationships with children and families and creating a school where every child feels safe, loved, and excited to learn.

Outside of Lightbridge, I live in Clayton with my husband and our two very spoiled pups, Jackson and Lana. I can’t wait to welcome you, get to know your family, and be part of your child’s journey!

    I am so grateful for Lightbridge and the exceptional care they provide to my son! I had a negative experience at a nearby daycare and having them open in the same area was truly a blessing! As a first time mom, it is so important to have the stability and the structure they provide in caring for my little one. My son has learned so much with this amazing group and I am so thankful for all they do!
