A message from us

Back-to-school season is here—and your child’s first day of kindergarten may be closer than it feels! The BIG Steps that prepare children for school start long before age five.

For toddlers and two-year-olds, it may look like building independence, following routines, communicating needs, or learning to play alongside friends. For preschool and Pre-K children, those BIG Steps grow into problem-solving, early literacy and math skills, confidence, and kindergarten readiness.

Through our hands-on Seedlings® curriculum, caring teachers turn everyday moments into opportunities to learn and grow. Because putting on a shoe, sharing with a friend, writing a name, or trying something independently aren’t just little moments—they’re BIG Steps toward what’s next.

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!
