Preschool & Daycare in Holly Springs, NC

As the days grow longer and the sunshine rolls in, our Pre-K classrooms come alive with hands-on learning, laughter, and discovery! At Lightbridge Academy of Apex, our oldest learners stay engaged through meaningful experiences—blending outdoor exploration, creative projects, and play-based learning that keeps growing minds active.

Our Pre-K summer program is thoughtfully designed to build kindergarten-ready skills through our Seedlings® curriculum, while adding exciting “wow” moments, special visitors, and themed adventures that spark curiosity and confidence.

Did you know?
Children can lose up to 2–3 months of academic progress over the summer—but high-quality, play-based programs like ours help maintain and even strengthen literacy, math, and social skills before kindergarten!

We love watching our Pre-K children learn, explore, and shine all summer long—and we’re so proud to be part of this important step toward kindergarten.

Hi there! My name is Becky Grovenstein, and I am one of the owners of this amazing school. Before jumping in to a dream of opening a child care school where trust is at the center of any relationship, I was a elementary music teacher.

I truly believe that before any child speaks they sing, before they write they draw, and before the run they dance!
I am the lucky mom of two beautiful daughters.
I am so excited to meet all of you and welcome you to the Lightbridge Academy Family.

Hi, my name is Brian Grovenstein, I am the ying to Becky’s yang as the other owner of this awesome school. I bring the business, finance and IT talents to our partnership.

I am a Girl Dad through and through, who learns something new every day.
Being an advocate for our families, teachers and our child care community is my mission.
I am looking forward to meeting you all around Lightbridge Academy!

Hello, My name is Jacquie Evans, and I am the Regional Manager for both Lightbridge Academy Apex and Holly Springs. I have a real passion for child care and love to challenge our admin teams to elevate themselves and our program every day.

My two active boys keep my scheduling brain and coaching skills busy no matter what sidelines I’m on.
With over 18 years of experience in child care I truly believe the relationships we cultivate with our families is the most important thing we can do for the children we care for.
I look forward to journeying with you through the registration and enrollment process for your child to become a Lightbridge Academy student.

Hi everyone my name is Jennifer Frink, I am Center Director at Lightbridge Academy Holly Springs. I believe in the philosophy that children learn through play and that it takes a village to raise a child which is why I stand behind our Circle of Care.

With over 12 years of child care experience, I can honestly say I love this school so much that I have grown from being a lead teacher in the Goldfish classroom, to the administrative assistant position, to now director.
My two young boys keep me grounded in that every new phase they go through is exciting, sometimes challenging and then so sad when they grow up to the next phase.
I cannot wait to share this journey of life with your family!
