Two Indian immigrants and New Jersey-based moms, Srilekha Vangala and Nidhi Sharma, are the new owners of Lightbridge Academy in Warren. Their similar personal and education backgrounds have bonded them since they were introduced by their husbands. The duo is now excited to work together and introduce the early education brand to their home city.

Nearly 10 years ago, Vangala was first introduced to the education brand when she enrolled her own child. Over the years, she has been intrigued by the brand’s franchise model and level of care. She decided to jump on board when they began franchising.

"As a parent myself, I know the important role of educational child care in the lives of families, and I look forward to supporting them along with our amazing team of teachers," said Vangala.

The new location will be located at 181 Mount Bethel Road and will begin servicing students in September 2022.
