Lightbridge Academy plans to open Sept. 3 in Plano.

The childcare franchise will be owned and operated by family members Chetana and Devan Shah. It will offer infant care, toddler programs, preschool education and pre-K readiness.

A grand opening celebration will be scheduled following the opening of the business which will feature on-site center tours, curriculum overviews, technology demonstrations, entertainment, refreshments and activities for children.

“It's going to be a wonderful opportunity for families to explore our offerings and experience firsthand the quality care and education we provide to working families at Lightbridge Academy of Plano,” a company representative said in an email.
