Daycare & Preschool in Powell, OH

Welcoming all

We are thrilled that you are considering our center for your child’s early learning journey. Our brand-new facility is currently under construction, & we cannot wait to open our doors to provide a nurturing environment for your little one. As the Solution for Working Families®, we are more than a daycare. We are actively enrolling for our Infant, Toddler, Preschool, & Pre-K programs & would love to share more about what makes our center a special place for learning & growth.

We invite you to a Hard Hat Tour of our future center. Please note that, due to active construction, children are not allowed on site.

We’re excited to also welcome families for tours at our Dublin location: 4905 Blazer Parkway, Dublin OH,43016 while our new center is underway.

A Message From Us

We are Allison and Ben Kraft. Three years ago, my husband and I began exploring the idea of opening our own business, one that would give us more flexibility and allow us to be present for all of the important moments in our daughters’ lives. Being a parent is hard. Balancing a career while still wanting to show up for every recital, game, and milestone can feel overwhelming at times.

When we discovered Lightbridge Academy, it immediately felt different. We fell in love with everything they offer families. Safety and a strong curriculum were absolute non-negotiables for us, but what truly stood out was how deeply they understand the needs of working parents. The belief that it takes a community to raise a child really resonated with me. Childcare isn’t one-size-fits-all, it requires flexibility, compassion, and a true partnership with families.

Lightbridge doesn’t just talk about these values, they live them. We visited several of their centers across the country and consistently saw the highest quality of care, thoughtful programming, and genuine support for families.

We are so excited to bring Lightbridge Academy to the Dublin and Powell communities. We can’t wait to open our doors and share everything this incredible center has to offer with local families.


🌟 Meet Our Director, Miss Oriana! 🌟

I’m Oriana Brenzo-Bernard, Center Director at Lightbridge Academy of Powell. With a strong background in child development and education, I am passionate about creating an environment where the whole child is nurtured—one in which every child is seen, valued, and inspired to explore the world with curiosity and confidence. Building and supporting a strong sense of community is at the heart of everything I do. I believe in fostering meaningful connections among children, families, educators and the community, cultivating a spirit of collaboration, empathy, and shared purpose. My goal is to create a space where everyone feels a true sense of belonging and experiences collective growth.

Children are the reason we love our jobs. They are always doing something funny to make us laugh. In the crazy times that we live in today take the time to plan a fun unplugged activity with your family today. Go to the park, play a board game as a family, have the kids help cook a meal with you. The activities are endless. Just take the day and celebrate your child/children. Make a memory that they will remember forever.

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.
