A Message From Us

David and Julie Walker are Fort Mill residents with a shared passion for supporting families through high-quality early childhood education. David was born and raised in Rock Hill, SC and earned his bachelor’s degree in business, while Julie is originally from Mount Pleasant, South Carolina and holds a bachelor’s degree in early childhood education and a master’s degree in business. The two met in college and went on to build both their family and their professional lives together. Together, they bring extensive early childcare experience and prior experience as business owners, combining strong operational leadership with a deep understanding of child development.

As parents to a son and daughter, David and Julie’s decision to open Lightbridge Academy of Indian Land is deeply personal. Having experienced the impact of preschool firsthand through their own children, they have seen the lasting benefits of early social and educational development—from learning how to navigate relationships to developing communication skills such as sign language before forming full sentences. As the Fort Mill and Indian Land areas continue to grow, David and Julie are committed to bringing families a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment where children are prepared for kindergarten and parents can feel confident knowing their children are learning, growing, and thriving each day.

Lightbridge Academy of Indian Land proudly serves families throughout Indian Land, Fort Mill, Ballantyne, Sun City, and the greater Lancaster County community. Conveniently located near the intersection of Fort Mill Hwy and Charlotte Hwy, our center provides easy access for families searching for trusted daycare or preschool programs.

Whether you’re looking for child care, preschool, or early education programs in Indian Land, Lightbridge Academy is here to welcome your family with open arms.

A Little Background on This Classic Pastry

Often referred to as Schnecken — the German word for “snails” — these delicious pastries get their name from their signature spiral shape.

Their roots date back to the Middle Ages in Europe, when bakers commonly prepared sweet rolls using enriched dough, nuts, honey, and dried fruits. Over time, recipes evolved as ingredients and tastes changed, giving rise to the rich, gooey sticky buns we know and love today.

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.
