Mission and Vision

At the Lilypad Childcare Center, our mission is to foster holistic child development through immersive experiences in nature-based programs. We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to connect with the natural world, promoting their physical, emotional, social, and cognitive growth through play and exploration. Our vision is to be a catalyst for positive change in our community by championing the benefits of nature play, sharing knowledge with families, and empowering our educators to create enriching and nurturing experiences for all children. Through our efforts, we aim to contribute to the health, happiness, and resilience of future generations and the natural world they inhabit.
