Congratulations on taking the first step towards securing a quality educational program for your child! We are conveniently located in the West End of Henrico, near Innsbrook, Short Pump, and adjacent to Twin Hickory. We are excited to be part of the Lightbridge Academy Circle of Care, which embraces not only your child but also your family, our community, our staff, and our owners in a nurturing and supportive environment.

Lightbridge Academy offers an exceptional curriculum while upholding the highest safety protocols and fostering an environment that encourages strong bonds of care and friendship. Our owners, Mandy and Shawn Dhingra, are parents of two children, which helps them understand the challenges faced by working families.

As The Solution for Working Families, Lightbridge Academy is well-equipped to help you balance your life with programs and services designed to support you. Our Seedlings Curriculum focuses on the whole child, covering areas such as writing (Handwriting Without Tears), language and literacy, social and emotional development, STREAM (science, technology, reading, engineering, art, math), and outdoor learning for collaborative learning and play. Families can also expect to benefit from state-of-the-art technology, including ParentView®? Internet Monitoring and real-time updates through our e-communication app.
