Testimonials
Zoe's family, Washington, DC
Our family had a stellar experience when entrusting our daughter at the age of 18 months to Lucie Goosie Toddler Enrichment, so much so that we followed Ms. Yeon to her then newly created center, Park View Academy, where my daughter stayed and thrived until the age of 3.5 years. Ms. Yeon goes above and beyond in creating a loving, nurturing, and engaging environment for children. We expect nothing less from Lily Pad Academy. We would send our youngest child to Lily Pad Academy in a heartbeat, had we not moved out of State. Ms. Yeon is an expert in early childhood education. What puts her miles apart from other care centers is her attention and commitment to every single child. She sees a brightness in each of the children and helps them grow and shine their brightest through playful, engaging, nurturing, and educational interactions. My daughter, now 7, still has many vivid memories from her time with Ms. Yeon. The positive impact from this experience on our daughter’s trajectory (she is a kind, open-eyed, curious, and bright child) is undeniable and we feel so very grateful to have found Ms. Yeon’s child care centers. Highly recommend Lily Pad Academy based on our previous experience!

Both my kids went to Lucie Goosie Enrichment and it has been an awesome experience. Yeon and her staff were always attentive to the kids, making sure the little ones were having fun in a safe environment. The kids had lots of fun and educational toys to play with, as well as plenty of calming story time. My kids were always so happy to go there and never wanted to leave at pick up. Yeon is incredibly patient with the kids (and the parents too!) and she is truly passionate about caring for children. I simply can’t thank her enough for creating such a wonderful place for my kids. These happy memories at Lucie Goosie will forever stay with my kids.
Lily Pad Academy Parent
Lucie Goosie was an exceptional toddler enrichment program that both of my oldest kids attended from 18 months to 2.5 years old. I cannot recommend it highly enough! The program was incredibly hands-on which is perfect for young children who are eager to explore and learn. The teachers, along with the owner Yeon, have an amazing ability to connect with the kids on a personal level, making each child feel valued and understood. The facility was always spotless, creating a safe and welcoming environment for the little ones. The overall vibe is warm and nurturing, which really fosters a love for learning in the children. It’s clear that everyone at Lucie Goosie was dedicated to providing a top-notch experience, and it shows in the progress and happiness of the kids.

My middle son attended Park View Academy from 2.5 to 3.5 years old, right after his time at Lucie Goosie. We were one of the first families to join, and it happened to be during the challenging time of COVID. Despite the pandemic, Yeon, one the owners, did an absolutely brilliant job creating a rich and warm learning environment. The care and attention to detail at Park View Academy were evident from the start. The staff maintained a nurturing atmosphere that made my son feel secure and engaged, even in uncertain times. It’s no surprise to me that the program filled to capacity by the time I had my third child. If you’re looking for a daycare and preschool that truly cares about your child’s development and well-being, Park View Academy is an excellent choice.
