A North Bethesda, Maryland childcare community since 2017
Nearly a decade of little beginnings and lasting connections.
Our story
Lily Pads Early Learning Center opened in December 2017. Family-owned by Tara Goitein and Leah Hanlon, the center brings infants, toddlers and preschoolers together in a warm community built around care, connection and curiosity.
The people behind the care
Our owners, center leaders and teaching team help make Lily Pads a welcoming place for children and families. Get to know our team and visit the classrooms to see the center for yourself.
