Lily Pad At Metro Park

We have sent two children through Lily Pad and absolute loved it… I had experiences with 3 other daycare’s in the area with my other 2 children (prior to Lily Pad opening) and they were all OK but nothing like the excellent care at Lily Pad. It feels like a family… I will say, if you are looking for a more rigid program this is not the place for you — kids get to be kids at Lily Pad and learn through activity (not sitting in a chair half the day). They do not serve meals so you will need to pack lunch and snack each day.

This is a wonderful school and daycare. Our son was enrolled as a ducking and a grasshopper. From day 1, we felt so right about this decision. He never cried when I dropped him off and when it was pick up time; he wanted to stick around for more. They have made pre-​k such a positive and enriching experience for our son. Their team of teachers really go above and beyond! With all of their patience, creativity, and love, our son has achieved so much since enrolling in Lilypad. Because they care so much about their students, they have directed them to trust themselves in all that they do and to become all that they dream. We can’t thank them enough. Their big heart and burning desire to make the world a better place one kid at a time is extraordinary. Watching our preschooler grow and develop in their hands is a great joy!

Our experience with the administration at this school was unsatisfactory. When I enrolled, I was told that our spot would be secure even though they have a policy of prioritizing the building’s tenants. Fewer than 3 months later, we were told via email (!) that our spot would be given away to someone who works in the building… which led to a mad scramble to find alternate childcare.

My daughter hasn’t attended this school in over a year (she was 3), but I had to share that I was so happy with the staff, building, and curriculum! The only reason my daughter left was because once she turned 4, she needed to be in a classroom with ONLY four year olds… and, I wanted her to learn Spanish. Other than that, this was an amazing preschool! I will forever appreciate how they allowed my daughter to have a flexible schedule and for how wonderful they treated her!
