Welcome to The Lily Pad Early Learning Academy
Where Crestview families trust us to nurture their little ones through child-led, Christ-centered learning every day.
What We Offer
We believe children thrive when they are truly known and supported. By maintaining small class sizes, our teachers are able to give each child the individualized care and attention they deserve. Low student-to-teacher ratios allow us to build meaningful relationships, tailor learning to each child, and create a warm, nurturing school experience.
The safety and well-being of our students are always our highest priority. Our school uses multiple layers of security to provide a safe and protected environment. Safety measures include a secure two-door entry system, keypad-controlled access, and on-site security cameras. A structured carline helps reduce traffic inside the building and ensures safe arrival and dismissal.
In addition, all staff members receive regular safety and emergency preparedness training, including procedures for fire, severe weather, and lockdown drills. Classrooms follow strict supervision guidelines, and children are always within sight and sound of trained staff. We also maintain visitor sign-in procedures, emergency communication protocols, and age-appropriate safety drills to ensure everyone is prepared while keeping children calm and secure.
Our program is rooted in faith and designed to lovingly introduce children to who Jesus is while keeping God at the center of all we do. Through a monthly Bible story, children are gently guided in learning God’s love and truth. Each week, a member of our administrative team visits the classrooms for chapel time, creating a special moment for worship, prayer, and meaningful connection in a way that is engaging and appropriate for young hearts.
