A Message From Us

Welcome to Lightbridge Academy of Manassas! Thank you for taking the time to inquire everything we have to offer your family. We understand how important it is to for parents to find and choose loving care, and an educationally sound school for their children. My name is Michelle Gransbury and I am the Center Director of Lightbridge Academy of Manassas. I joined the Lightbridge Academy family in the summer of 2023 after moving to Northern Virginia from Virginia Beach with my husband. I hold my Bachelor degree in human services and early childhood development and have over 22 years of experience in the Early Childhood Education field. I understand that leaving your children in our capable hands takes a big leap of trust, and we thank you for allowing us to have that honor. Our Assistant Director, Sierra Moore, comes to us with 13 years of experience and has a six-month-old daughter of her own. At Lightbridge Academy of Manassas, your child will be nurtured and cared for in a positive and interactive learning environment. We offer extended day educational programs for children 6 wks. through Pre-K, year-round. We invite you to visit us, and see for yourself, how our Circle of Care philosophy and Core Values are incorporated into each and every day. We recognize our children, families, staff, and investors as unique individuals who deserve the upmost respect. Upon visiting us, you will have the opportunity to learn about our Parent View Internet Monitoring and biometric facial scan recognition, which provide our families with the sense of security that they deserve. You will see, firsthand, how we keep our parents connected to their children throughout the day, by using iPads in our classrooms to send daily reports, pictures, and videos of the children. We will also provide you with a demonstration of our interactive white boards. Our spacious indoor gym and turf playground are also a must see! We take much pride in our Center and in continuing to grow, prioritize maintaining an intimate and warm environment for all. We are so grateful that you are considering Lightbridge Academy to care for your little one and we can’t wait to meet you! Warmly, Michelle

Can I enroll my child in Lightbridge Academy at any time?

Yes. Enrollment at all Lightbridge Academy locations is ongoing as long as space is available.

Is there a minimum or maximum number of days per week my child can attend Lightbridge Academy?

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.
