Lightbridge Academy Opens in Timonium 

Lightbridge Academy, an early childhood education franchise with centers across the nation, is opening its 69th center in Timonium.  

This new center, located at 35-B East Padonia Road, is currently enrolling children aged six weeks through kindergarten, offering educational childcare. The franchise owners, Pratik Chandarana and Avani Patel, are passionate about early childhood education and understand the challenges working parents face. As parents who had their own children enrolled in a Lightbridge Academy, they’ve experienced the positive impact a happy childcare center can have on both children and families.  

This new center aims to bring educational excellence and peace of mind to the Timonium community. The franchise plans to expand into other high-demand markets in the near future.
