    Clean hands are one of the best ways to keep everyone healthy. Teaching children proper handwashing habits early helps prevent germs from spreading at home, at school, and in the community.

    At home, families can support healthy habits by reminding children to wash their hands before meals, after using the restroom, after playing outside, and after coughing or sneezing. Making handwashing part of the daily routine helps children build lifelong habits.

    At school, we teach children the importance of handwashing by modeling proper techniques, practicing regularly throughout the day, and encouraging handwashing at key times such as before meals, after using the bathroom,  and after activities. By working together, we help children stay healthy and confident in caring for themselves.

    Together, we can keep our children and community healthy.

    National Puzzle Day is a great opportunity to unplug and enjoy quality time together. Puzzles help children build problem-solving skills, patience, and teamwork all while having fun.

    Celebrate at home by working on a puzzle as a family, starting with simple puzzles for younger children and gradually increasing the challenge. It’s a wonderful way to encourage learning, connection, and a sense of accomplishment.

    Pick up a free puzzle during your scheduled tour on this special day.

    Happy puzzling!

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.
