Lightbridge Academy of Apex, NC

Welcome to Lightbridge Academy Apex! From the very first “Hello”, we want every child to feel safe, nurtured, and excited to join our Lightbridge Academy Family. Hi there! Hi, my name is Becky Grovenstein, and I am one of the owners of this amazing school. Before jumping in to a dream of opening a childcare school where trust is at the center of any relationship, I was a elementary music teacher. I truly believe that before any child speaks they sing, before they write they draw, and before the run they dance! I am the lucky mom of two beautiful daughters Hope and Julia Grace. Together as a family we love to go hiking in the mountains or building sandcastles and relaxing at the beach (whatever relaxing looks like at the beach for a mom). I am so excited to meet all of you and welcome you to the Lightbridge Academy Family. Hi, my name is Brian Grovenstein, I am the ying to Becky’s yang as the other owner of this awesome school. I bring the business, finance and IT talents to our partnership. Not to mention being the father of our two beautiful daughters who teach me something new every day. On the weekends I love to spend time outside or working on a project around the house with the occasional trip to the mountains, beach or to East Carolina University for a football game in the fall. I am looking forward to meeting you all around Lightbridge Academy! Hello, My name is Jacquie Evans and I am the Regional Manager for both Lightbridge Academy Apex and Holly Springs. I have worked in the childcare field for 18 years, starting as a support staff member, to a director at Lightbridge Academy Apex, and now a regional manager. I have a real passion for this field and will continue to coach our team as we grow in the area. I am a mom of two active boys Kyle and Bryson. On the weekend I love to spend time with my family, and watching baseball or basketball games. Hey, My name is Carlee Romagnoli and I am the operations 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. Hello, My name is Heidi Seebeck and I am the education director. I have been working in childcare for roughly 5 years and have enjoyed every second of it. My favorite part about working with children is learning about their interests and using that knowledge in how I teach! Now as I lead our school my experience guides the way I coach teachers in the classroom and support all our families. I really enjoy doing anything creative with music and art as well as spending time outdoors with my husband. Some of my favorite outdoor activities include snowboarding, paddle boarding and hiking.
