The Perfect First Summer Day Camp!

Creating a one-of-a-kind summer camp experience for the children we care for and the families who cherish them.

The Solution For Working Families®

Our goal is to ease stresses of the busy, working parents by providing summer fun in a safe and nurturing environment! For this reason, we developed industry-leading programs including ParentView® Internet monitoring and an e-Communication app providing a real-time and ongoing connection throughout the day. Parents experience peace of mind with our gold standard for health & safety, extended hours, back-up care, nutritious snacks and meal plans, extracurricular activities, and even occasional evening babysitting for parents to enjoy a night out! 

Seedlings Early Childhood Education Curriculum

A Multi-Sensory Approach

The Seedlings Early Childhood Education Curriculum focuses on all areas of a child's growth helping them to achieve their full potential. By seeing letters, signing words and hearing sounds, children learn through a multi-sensory approach which includes enrichment programs for:

  • STREAM (Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Art & Math) - encourages analytical thought, reasoning skills and critical thinking while sparking creativity.
  • Reading & Writing Readiness - features Handwriting Without Tears® with hands-on lessons that develop motor skills and prepares children to read and write.
  • Singing Sprouts - explores music through singing, movement, instruments, a variety of cultures and styles, as well as rhythms and patterns.
  • Spanish Sprouts - teaches the Spanish basics for counting, colors, readings and every day communication.
  • Signing Sprouts - fosters communication and language development.
  • Yoga & Mindfulness - relieves stress, calms minds and nervous systems while helping to release negative emotions and gain independence and coping skills.


The Perfect First Summer Day Camp

SUMMER FUN THAT WORKS FOR PARENTS TOO!

Even though school is out for elementary school age children that doesn't mean parents have the summer off too! Your child will enjoy summer the way it should be - with fun, exciting day trips, new friendships, and spontaneous shenanigans. And while you're at it, give yourself a break by choosing a summer camp that works for working parents. With extended hours, meal plans, and a parent eCommunication app, Lightbridge Academy has you connected and covered!

THEME CAMPS FOR OLDER KIDS

Our summer camps are safe, structured environments designed with children in mind. Every week is a new theme with fun and another form of fun. Whether they are exploring the Wild West and creating stick horses to ride, being Mad Scientists with STEM experiments and bubbling volcanos or Clowning Around and preparing their own carnival, it’s a summer filled with adventure and (shhhh), learning too! 

A SAFE SPACE TO EXPLORE

Young children thrive in environments with the freedom to explore yet the structure necessary to keep them safe with a watchful eye and nurturing reassurance. The staff at Lightbridge Academy summer camps are all experienced with young children, CPR and first -aid certified and meet all state licensing requirements for mandatory background.

CALLING ALL CHILDREN

Summer camp is all about reconnecting with old friends and making new ones. Your child doesn't have to be enrolled in a Lightbridge Academy year round program to join in the fun.

Our Philosophy

CHILD

At the heart of our Circle of Care is the child. Surrounded by care, guidance, and the early-childhood educational expertise of our staff, no area of a child's safety or development is left to chance.

PARENTS

STAFF

The needs of working parents are equally important as the care and education of their children. We strive to earn your trust and create a meaningful and life-enhancing relationship with you, one that will help you meet the challenges of balancing work and life.

On the front lines and never forgotten, we pay special attention to our educators. We want them to be deeply engaged, continually growing, and remain with us for the long term, which means the world to parents and children who delight in seeing familiar faces every day.

COMMUNITY

OWNERS

Our relationships extend beyond the four walls of our child care centers through supportive partnerships and participation within the communities we serve. Our goal is to be a valuable asset in every community.

Lightbridge Academy franchise owners are selected with great care, and must share our core values and understanding of the transformative role they play in the lives of all staff and families. You can expect to find the same values shining through from center to center.

From the first hello of the day, to the last good-bye, we want every child to feel safe, nurtured, and excited to learn and grow with us, and for you to consider us a true partner in the development and education of your child. We go beyond what's expected, creating a one-of-a-kind educational experience for the children we care for and the families who cherish them.

The Lightbridge Promise

Our top priority has always been for the health and safety of all those in our Circle of Care. Now more than ever, this is holds true. We are responding to the need for enhanced protocols with the development of the Gold Standard in the child care industry for cleanliness, security and peace of mind — The Lightbridge Promise.

Cleaned – Ongoing throughout the day and every evening

Our facilities follow clear guidelines for cleaning and sanitizing classrooms - including frequently touched surfaces and toys - throughout the day and in the evening.

Sanitized – Continuous air scrubbing and purification system*

Above and beyond the health and safety requirements for any child care system, our centers are installing an enhanced air purification and filtration system with Advanced Oxidation Technology. Similar in design to what is used in healthcare, food processing plants, and other highly sensitive environments, this system continuously purifies the air and sterilizes all visible surfaces significantly reducing infectious airborne pathogens including COVID-19 by purifying the air and removing airborne particulates through HEPA filters.

Secured – Coded entry and state of the art alarm system

This state-of-the-art technology helps to ensure that Lightbridge Academy is safe and secure. From coded entry to silent alarms to internal video monitoring and limited points of entry, our security system, emergency drills and protocols are some of the most advanced in the industry.

Trained – Certified staff in CPR and First Aid

It’s not enough for just a few staff members to be CPR and first-aid certified, everyone must achieve this certification. In addition, every staff member must meet or exceed state-mandated educational requirements and pass thorough background checks to ensure safety for all.

Inspected – Lightbridge Quality Assurance Program

In addition to inspections by state licensing agencies, each center must adhere to Lightbridge Academy quality standards which may exceed state requirements. A quality assurance team representative performs an unannounced inspection of every center to ensure compliance with all requirements from Lightbridge Franchise Company, franchisor of Lightbridge Academy.

Transparent - Secure Online Video Monitoring

Stay connected to your child throughout the day from work or home. Our ParentView® Internet Monitoring System enables you to see your child in real-time over a secure, password-protected internet connection.

The Lightbridge Promise also includes the things that have always brought you peace of mind: ParentView® Internet Monitoring; our state-of-the-art security and entry systems; as well as our requirement that staff achieve CPR and First Aid certification.

* Installation currently in process for all Lightbridge Academy centers.

From the first hello, to the last goodbye, we want you and your child to feel safe, nurtured and excited to learn!
