Hello! Thank you for your interest in Lightbridge Academy of Massapequa! My name is Sarina Jagtiani and I am the Franchise Owner. We have been serving the Massapequa Community since 2019! I have been working in Early Childhood Education for over 20 years and received my Bachelors and Masters in Early Childhood Education. I am married and a proud mom to two beautiful children. As a mom, I understand the importance of quality childcare. I am inspired by the Circle of Care and Core Values, and how strongly these philosophies shine through at Lightbridge Academy! Maggie Louissaint is our Center Director. She has been working in the Early Childhood Education field for 17 years. She has been a toddler and preschool/pre-k teacher. She believes that here at Lightbridge Academy, your child will learn in a wide variety of ways through our proprietary Seedlings Early Childhood Education Curriculum, and will experience early learning in the ways that are most developmentally appropriate for them. She takes much pride in our Center and prioritizes maintaining an intimate and warm environment for all. She is married and has a fun and energetic little girl! Patricia Sammon is our Assistant Director. She has been in the education field for over 35 years!
