Lightbridge Academy of Apex, NC

Welcome to Lightbridge Academy Apex! Congratulations on taking your first step in securing a quality educational program for your child. From the very first “Hello”, we want every child to feel safe, nurtured, and excited to join our Lightbridge Academy Family. My name is Jacquie Evans. I have been in early childhood education for over 15 years! My Bachelor’s degree is in Sociology. My career spills over to my home as I have two young children, Kyle-9 and Bryson-7. I am enthusiastic about education, special needs, and developmentally appropriate practices. My goal is to encourage everyone I meet, even the owners! Becky and Brian Grovenstein are the owners who live in Apex, too. Becky has a degree from East Carolina University in Music Education. That is also where Brian and Becky met in Marching Band. Becky was an elementary music teacher in Wake County for 8 years. Her passion for music and children was not just in her classroom but also in her two children. Hope, who is 78, loves to play “guess the number” in the car, while her 4 year old, Julia Grace, will dance to anything from The Cancan by Offenbach to Fight Song by Rachel Platten. The Grovensteins embody the Lightbridge Academy family values and I look forward to guiding this school in our community. My name is Carlee Romagnoli and I am the assistant director. I have been working in childcare for going on 4 years now. I majored in sociology with a specialty in child psychology. I have always had a passion for working with children and fostering a nurturing and educational environment in the school. I cannot wait to get to know all the families personally and welcome them and their children into our Circle of Care! We are looking forward to getting to know you and discussing how we can be a partner in your child's growth and development, and your family's daily joy.
