I have had past experiences with childcare, but Alem daycare supersedes that experience by far. It's a lovely environment with indoor and outdoor play areas.

I'm very pleased I found such an impressive and valuable place to have my child with a trusty-worthy, experienced and welcoming caregiver. She's a great preschool teacher and I recommend 11/10.

She provides breakfast, morning snack, lunch and afternoon snacks as well. He had the basics when he started. He knows some colors, shapes, numbers counting and his ABC's. Ashley and he team are great with the kids. They are patient and they understand the development of children. They understand what is normal for children at certain age groups! She teaches them a lot of information.my son knew how to spell his name. They did great with potty training them. They have monthly in home field trips. They had the mobile dental truck come, the fire truck, Arlington Echo brought animals and so forth. I would highly recommend this daycare. Your children are safe in her home. She has 10+ years in teaching. The one things that was a deciding factor was she had a curriculum for them to learn daily and not just a baby sitter. Your children will learn while playing.

They are so well organized and fill the kids days with fun and educational activities. They take the older kids on great field trips. The summer program is more like camp than day care, and my kids absolutely love it - water play or pool every week, a weekly theme, magic show, reptile show, etc. etc. They go out of their way to have family events throughout the year (Thanksgiving feast, Christmas program, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Kick Off to Summer, Fall Festival etc), which make you feel part of the family. They provide all the meals and snacks, usually including a hot and healthy lunch. I always feel confident going to work that my kids are safe and well cared for. It's not easy leaving your little ones all day, but Loving 2 Learn made it so much better! We're really going to miss this school and the staff and other kids now that my little ones are moving on. Recommend highly to anyone looking for child care in the area.

We love Lily Pads! The teachers are excellent. The management is excellent. When we found out we…read morewere expecting a second child, we--without hesitation--asked Lily Pads about a spot for #2. Our daughter has been at Lily Pads since August 2020. At that time--in the depths of COVID--Ms. Eda and Lily Pads put us at ease with how careful, thoughtful, and communicative they were running the center during a crisis. Since then, our daughter has gone through the Purple Owls (1s), Green Frogs (2s), and Orange Butterflies (3s) class. She has loved all of her teachers and made great friends. We feel involved in her school life, from the pictures and updates in the app, to the art she brings home, to the new songs she sings when she comes home. At dropoff and pickup, her teachers make time to provide updates, answer questions, and address concerns. They've all been great. We could go on and on about Lily Pads. Our daughter is the happy, smart, silly, kind toddler she is thanks, in no small part, to Lily Pads. And--no less important--they've given us the space, and peace of mind during our working days so we can be better parents when she gets home. 5 stars, without reservation.

They were good at communicating about the State/County health policies, status of classrooms, and advice on keeping our family safe.

And they helped our kid to grow socially, environmentally and in word and number recognition. LilyPads has been so good for our family over the past 3+ years - highly recommend!!
