Does anyone know who these orangutans belong to? If so let’s contact their owners because they are hanging around in the 2 year old room. ☺️😃🙃 ... See MoreSee Less

I absolutely love the care they provide my daughters. I have a 2-year old and a school age child that attends. My oldest never begged to go to previous child care providers in the past but literally asked to go every day this past summer. We are lucky they took on school aged kids for summer and before and after school care. It makes it so much easier to have 1 spot to drop my kids off knowing while they are in their care, they are taken care of. I also get pictures throughout the day of all of the fun activities they do.

Thank you for all the time and energy you put into the children as well as their families. All of the little festivals and special days - Father’s Day, Mother’s Day and grandparents day - truly makes it feel like a family affair.

Please do not let reviews prior to 6 months ago steer you away from here. New owners took over this year and have truly turned this facility around.

We are here from out of state working and put our child in the Lily pad daycare and we absolutely love it. The staff here is absolutely wonderful with every kid. They welcome you every morning and afternoon. My child gets up wanting to go to daycare every day and they have the best indoor playground so the kids get to burn off energy whether it’s raining too hot too cold the kids still get to play. if you haven’t visited the Lillypad daycare in the last six months, I suggest that you do other reviews may lead you in the wrong direction

LilyPad has been an amazing experience. I’m a huge helicopter mom & do not trust anyone with my kids. We started out at a different childcare facility & my baby cried everyday for weeks at drop off, it was awful & I couldn’t take it. Even tho they said it’s ‘normal’…no it’s not. She hated her teacher. & didn’t feel safe. & it took me a couple wks to realize it but we were outta there once it hit me that it wasn’t normal. Trust your momma gut. We started at LilyPad & she has never once fussed or cried at drop off. My baby is HAPPY here & loooooves her teachers. You can just tell they have kind hearts. & take pride in what they do. My girl turned 3 on Christmas & knows how to count to 12, sing her ABC’s , say her prayers at meal time & is learning to color in the lines, amongst other milestone achievements in a matter of less than 6 months. She is also fully potty trained now. She wakes up ready to go to ‘school’ & see her friends & teachers. I 1,000% recommend LilyPad.

Everyone here has been nothing short of fantastic to both of my children and my other child does not even attend Lilly pad. I would suggest them to anyone. My child is excited to wake up and go to Lilly Pad every day and be part of her class. I would ignore all of the negative reviews on here as I have seen no signs of anything even remotely negative.

It's a great learning environment. The only downside is the dietician and her abrupt attitude. Ms.Angie, and Ms.Cricket's excellence with children rocks!
