## Story

Infants, toddlers and preschoolers are now welcome to the newest location of Lightbridge Academy®, at its 60th early childhood education and enrichment franchise, as reported in a recent article by Patch. The facility at 1680 Big Oak Road in Yardley, Pennsylvania is built to accommodate around 35 employees and up to 165 children.

Employees at Yardley’s Lightbridge Academy are offered health, vision and dental insurance along with a 401K plan and paid time off. The new Yardley center has been established as a location operated by the Lightbridge Franchise Company.

Staff positions at the new location include lead and assistant teachers, as well as center and assistant directors.

Joanne Sofia, the chief operating officer of Lightbridge Academy, has credited their company core values and a commitment to the Lightbridge Foundation as fundamental motives for successful company expansion. As a growing company, Sofia spoke on the nature of its foundation and its continued commitment to those in need: “The foundation can support anybody who has a major health crisis or a family crisis,” she said in the article.

Sofia mentions the company’s hiring initiatives as a “great opportunity for anyone who wants to enter child care, or even somebody who just loves children and loves being a caretaker.” Sofia also recognizes a “growing market” of child care in Pennsylvania, and seeks to fulfill the ideals of establishing the center as “an extension of your very own family.”

Each Lightbridge Academy center has established intense cleaning and sanitizing procedures. “We want to be sure that you have that trust, that we’re taking care of your child,” Sofia said.
