Lightbridge Academy, a leader in early childhood education and one of the nation’s fastest-growing franchises, is excited to announce the grand opening of its latest location in Durham, North Carolina. This new center marks the fourth Lightbridge Academy in the state, joining existing locations in Apex, Holly Springs, and Huntersville. The Durham Center, owned by experienced franchisees Amy and Phil Speiser, Ben Greenlee, and Mike Fleischman, aims to provide a trusted, nurturing environment where high-quality education meets compassionate care, recognizing the crucial role both play in early childhood development.

Specializing in early childhood education for children aged six weeks to pre-kindergarten, the Durham Center is focused on supporting the needs of working families by offering a caring and engaging environment, combined with innovative learning tools. "We are committed to creating a space where children can thrive and parents can feel at ease," shared Amy Speiser, one of the franchisees behind the new center.

The opening of this new location comes as demand for high-quality child care services continues to rise, especially in North Carolina's rapidly growing communities.
