Lightbridge Academy, an early childhood education franchise, celebrated its grand opening ceremony Saturday in Doylestown at 4139 Ferry Road.
The new location provides more than 100 childcare spots and creating job opportunities for local educators.
Local entrepreneurs Nish Patel and Jiju Alex invited local families to the celebration, which featured refreshments, children’s entertainment, technology demos, and tours of the facility, along with a $1,200 enrollment promotion.
Patel, a former scientist and now a multi-unit franchisee, found Lightbridge Academy while searching for quality childcare for his daughter.
Noticing a gap in his community for education-focused care, he decided to franchise with Lightbridge Academy to meet the growing demand.
