Hi there! 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 child care 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.
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.

I am a Girl Dad through and through, who learns something new every day.
Being an advocate for our families, teachers and our child care community is my mission.
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 a real passion for child care and love to challenge our admin teams to elevate themselves and our program every day.

My two active boys keep my scheduling brain and coaching skills busy no matter what sidelines I'm on.
With over 18 years of experience in child care I truly believe the relationships we cultivate with our families is the most important thing we can do for the children we care for.
I look forward to journeying with you through the registration and enrollment process for your child to become a Lightbridge Academy student.

Hi everyone my name is Jennifer Frink, I am Center Director at Lightbridge Academy Holly Springs. I believe in the philosophy that children learn through play and that it takes a village to raise a child which is why I stand behind our Circle of Care.

With over 12 years of child care experience, I can honestly say I love this school so much that I have grown from being a lead teacher in the Goldfish classroom, to the administrative assistant position, to now director.
My two young boys keep me grounded in that every new phase they go through is exciting, sometimes challenging and then so sad when they grow up to the next phase.
I cannot wait to share this journey of life with your family!

Hey, My name is Eva Mackenthun, I am the Assistant Director at Lightbridge Academy Holly Springs. I have been working in Early Childhood education for about 10 years.

I started here at Lightbridge Academy as a toddler teacher in our Purple Cats classroom! Then stepped into the administrative role the summer of 2023 where I've learned so much already! I am working on my Associates Degree in Early Childhood Education. I've always worked with the "younger side" but have had so much fun spending time with all the kids! I look forward to continuing to create a safe and loving atmosphere for the circle of care!
