A Message From Us
Hi Charlotte families! We’re so excited to welcome you to our Circle of Care!
I’m Alison Friedman, Managing Owner, and alongside my husband Joe, we’ve had the incredible honor of bringing the first two Lightbridge Academy schools to Charlotte, NC. Our Huntersville location opened in January 2023, and Steele Creek followed in October 2024.
With our background in the packaging industry, we knew we wanted to do more — something meaningful for the families right here in our own community. Lightbridge Academy’s core values of care, excellence, happiness, and integrity align perfectly with who we are both personally and professionally.
As working parents ourselves, we understand the daily juggle. That’s why we’re proud to offer The Solution for Working Families® — with our enriched curriculum, fun enhancement activities, extended hours, e-communication tools, WatchMeGrow cameras, and strong local partnerships to make life just a little easier. Thank you for trusting us — it’s truly an honor to support your family.
Hi, I’m Amelia Fancher, Center Director! I’m thrilled to be part of the Steele Creek Administration team. I started my Lightbridge journey in 2024 as an infant teacher at our Huntersville location, and I’m so excited to now support families from the front office!
I have worked in early childhood education since 2019. I hold a bachelor's degree in religion, am a certified Lead Teacher, and recently completed my certification in Early Childhood Education Administration. I’ve been married to my husband, Matt, for three years. In my free time, I enjoy reading and traveling.
We can’t wait to meet you and welcome you to our Lightbridge family!
