Lightbridge Academy High quality childcare and early education programs for infants, toddlers and preschool children. We are so much more than just a daycare!

Busy working families need childcare for their children but also desire a high-quality early childhood education program. Lightbridge Academy offers infant, toddler, preschool and back-up care programs. We want every child to feel safe, nurtured, and excited to learn and grow with us, and every family to consider us a true partner in the development and education of their child. We go beyond what's expected from daycare to create an exceptional early childhood education experience.

Little minds have big feelings. 💛 Through our Social and Emotional curriculum, we help teach mindfulness in many different ways:

1. Yoga and movement classes to learn relaxation techniques
2. Calming corners to manage big feelings
3. Emotions charts so students can point to how they’re feeling today
4. Music and games to keep kids engaged

How do you manage big feelings at home?

🎨😊 Who says art is just about the finished masterpiece? At Lightbridge Academy of Fort Washington, it’s all about the experience, too! 💛

Our Mobile Infants got creative with their very own emotion plates, exploring colors, textures, and the joy of making a little mess along the way! 🖐️🖌️

For our littlest artists, art is so much more than paint on a plate. It’s a chance to engage their senses, strengthen fine motor skills, explore cause and effect, and express themselves in new ways. Every touch, dab, and swipe is a learning opportunity! 🌈

The best part? There’s no right or wrong way to create when you’re learning through play! 🥰

Stop, drop and roll…It’s Fire Safety Week! 🔥

A big part of our Lightbridge Academy curriculum is ensuring students learn the basics of safety practices. Throughout each center’s week of activities, students are able to get hands-on experience fighting “fires”, touring fire trucks, crawling under “smoke”, and learning to call 9-1-1.

🏠 Parent Homework: keep the learning going at home! While fire safety is still fresh in their minds, take time as a family to create or review your home fire safety plan. Identify your exits, choose a meeting spot and practice what everyone should do in case of an emergency.

Happy World Teachers’ Day! 🍎💙

What does a day in the life of a Lightbridge Academy teacher look like?

A little bit of teaching, a whole lot of playing, plenty of laughter, getting down on the floor, making messes, making memories, and helping little minds grow. 🧸🎨✨

We’re pretty serious about the important stuff… but we’re also very serious about having fun. 😉

Here’s to the teachers who make learning feel like play and make every day a little brighter! 💙

POV: You’re having a day… and then you remember you work with kids. 🥹💛

The paperwork? The chaos? The million little things that somehow all become urgent at once? 😅 Some days are HARD.

But then comes a hug. A goofy smile. A “look what I made!” A tiny voice telling you something that absolutely did not need to be shared but somehow made your whole day better. 😂

Our teachers and admin don’t just say we love what we do, we feel it every day. The kids have a pretty incredible way of reminding us why the hard days are worth it. ❤️

Because sometimes, all it takes is one little hug to turn a bad day around. 🫶

Behind every meaningful learning experience is a team that’s always learning, too.

Each year, every one of our centers hosts a Professional Development Day, giving our teachers and staff time to come together, prepare for the days ahead and make sure we’re all aligned on what’s next. From discussing upcoming initiatives to planning lessons, activities and meaningful learning experiences, every detail is thoughtfully considered with our young learners in mind.

Because creating an exceptional early learning experience takes a team working together behind the scenes to make this the best year yet! 📚

Who says art has to be messy? 🍎🎨 Our Orange Giraffes kept things pretty sweet and simple today as they painted their very own apples!

For young toddlers, art is so much more than making a cute keepsake. It’s an opportunity to explore colors, textures, movement, and cause and effect while building those growing fine motor skills. Most importantly, it gives children the freedom to experiment, make choices, and express themselves in their own unique way.

A little paint, a lot of exploring, and some very proud little artists! 🧡🦒🍎
