Lily Pad at Metro Park is conveniently located in Alexandria, Virginia, one block from the Franconia Springfield Parkway. Not only is this convenient for the parents who work at Metro Park, but it allows for opportunities during the day to engage with their children. The developmental program at Lily Pad encourages infants and children in all facets of learning in a warm, nurturing environment. We are a preschool with extended daycare hours, creating flexible schedules for working parents. Through play-based learning and other activities, we aim to nurture little ones' natural curiosity.
