ACADEMICS
GIVE YOUR CHILD THE LIGHTBRIDGE ADVANTAGE
Studies prove the positive impact that early childhood education has on a child's future success. The advantage graduates have when they enter elementary school is not just academic. It's social, emotional and cognitive, too. The Lightbridge Advantage is a culmination of the many ways, big and small, that we set a higher standard for ourselves and your child.
A HIGHER STANDARD, A FANTASTIC START
The natural love of learning and skills we teach-both academic and social-serve them well as they continually progress to the next stage of development. Our children progress naturally because they're constantly stimulated to be creative and curious, to learn and have fun learning. Our goal is to inspire their desire to learn. With that, they can do anything.
A UNIQUE MODEL OF EDUCATIONAL CHILD CARE
What sets Lightbridge Academy apart from other schools? Our advanced curriculum is supported by our Circle of Care philosophy which inspires us to treat everyone within our circle- owners, managers, directors, teachers, parents and children- as part of our extended family. This philosophy and our core values drive every decision we make and are the keys to ensuring the educational success and well-being of every child.
AN ADVANCED CURRICULUM UNIQUE TO LIGHTBRIDGE ACADEMY
Our proprietary
Seedlings Early Childhood Education Curriculum is exclusive to Lightbridge Academy. This research based curriculum is developmentally appropriate and the whole-child approach stresses intentional play and features enrichment programs such as Signing Sprouts, Singing Sprouts, Spanish Sprouts, Reading & Writing Readiness and Yoga and Mindfulness. The Seedlings Early Childhood Education Curriculum meets the standard of accreditation for the
Association for Early Learning Leaders and
National Accreditation Commission for Early Care and Education Programs.
DEVELOPMENTALLY APPROPRIATE PROGRAMS ALL THE WAY
Lightbridge Academy provides a solid curriculum for every stage of your child's development-from
infancy to
Kindergarten. (Yes, even infants have their own curriculum!) Each one is based on key developmental milestones focusing on cognitive, language, physical, social and emotional skills. Our program is directed by national standards and incorporates today's most promising approaches.
EXTENDED-DAY KINDERGARTEN PROGRAM*
Our extended-day Kindergarten is the perfect fit to support working parents! The program allows teachers the freedom to spend more time with children, addressing their individual needs and expanding on all learning areas well beyond the basics. All Kindergarten teachers hold degrees and follow detailed curriculum that is aligned with local municipalities and intended to exceed all state educational requirements. Kindergarten is serious business to us- but our emphasis on making learning fun remains!
