What Parents Say
The Lily Pad Day Care Center has highly polarized reviews. Five parents praise the caring staff, small class sizes, and professional teachers. However, five other parents report serious concerns including management changes leading to dismissal without notice, inadequate supervision resulting in child injury, inappropriate behavioral handling of toddlers, and disputed billing practices.
My daughter (2) attended for approximately 5 months. During this time, I was notified that she had behavioral issues. While attempting to work through the issue, it became apparent that the teachers were more concerned with removal and expulsion of a 2 year old. I paid $800 per month for her to be removed from class after 1 hour in the school 3-4 days out of a 5 day week. When I raised concerns about what remediation was being used, I was met with resistance and finger pointing. This place will teach children that bad behaviors are rewarded with removal and isolation rather than encouragement of good behavior and remedial activities. They are more concerned with stripping parents of their resources and removing children. This was a 2 year old, and while being told she was having behavior issues, she was also being introduced to preschool activities as a 2 year old, barely months into the daycare system. Completely unprofessional and inconsiderate facility. The 3 star rating is generous.
This place was so wonderful when my kids first started out until the new director took over in August and things went downhill fast. Just from requesting a meeting with other staff to resolve issues with my daughter, we were suddenly kicked out without any days notice. Very unprofessional. Only reason I give this two stars is because the other teachers were friendly, but the new director is way in over her head. I pray for that staff she’s got.
Honestly, this day care has been absolutely amazing! My child has been home with me for a while and was scared to go. And they have been so patient(with both of us). I absolutely recommend this day care if you are looking for care for your child!
No stars at all. I do NOT recommend this place if you care about your child. My mom picked up my child from there and before leaving asked why there was a huge knot on her forehead! The only answer she got was a “ I don’t know, she was crying outside at one point”. She called me right away concerned and I placed MULTIPLE calls to them and was unable to reach anybody. As a concerned parent with the daycare not answering or giving my mother any reason as to why there was a huge knot on her head I had no choice but to call the police. I was informed by the officer that when he went to the daycare that they had to watch the video camera to see what happened. SHE HIT HER HEAD ON THE WALL OUTSIDE!!!!! But yet they were angry at me for calling the police because no one was giving me or my mother answers. They said my daughter was no longer welcomed at their facility after bringing the police into this because it makes them look bad. Okay so my kid hitting her head on the wall outside and getting a huge knot on her forehead doesn’t make you look bad? This place is HORRIBLE. Pretty obvious that they have to many children enrolled and not enough staff to notice what goes on or they just don’t care. My daughter is enrolled in a waaaayyyy better daycare/preschool where they take her safety 1000% serious
Do not recommend this daycare, my daughter kept getting sick there. we missed a couple of days paid for those days. She kept getting sick so we pulled her out they charged us for the remaing day $85 we did not want to pay now they took us to collections over $85.
