Lilac has been absolutely amazing for our toddler and family! When we first started we were hoping to see his language skills grow, but they have given us so much more than that. The amazing staff of teachers and aides have benefited our child's development beyond our expectations. Shortly after enrolling him at Lilac we saw his personality explode, social skills expand, and his language took off! We are so thankful for Stephanie and the rest of the teachers for their dedicated support to each kid, and the attention they give to each child's needs and growth. Not only is the staff great, we're starting to gain a real community through the amazing parents that we have met through Lilac. We can't say enough about how much we have loved this school and all the teachers, our little guy looks forward to school days and that is the only sign I need that he's in the right place!

When we moved, one of the things I worried about most was finding the right preschool/daycare program for our daughter. Leaving what was familiar was hard, and I hoped we would find a place where she would feel loved, safe, and excited to learn. Lilac Learning Academy turned out to be so much more than we could have hoped for.Stephanie has created such a special place. You can feel the love, warmth, and intention the moment you walk through the doors. Every teacher is incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely invested in each child. They don't just teach—they make every child feel seen, encouraged, and valued.Our daughter absolutely loved going to school each day, and as a parent, there is no greater feeling than dropping your child off knowing they are not only cared for but truly cherished. She came home talking about the Spanish she was learning, exciting science projects, creative crafts, and all the fun she had with her friends. We always felt confident knowing our daughter was not only safe and cared for, but also encouraged to learn, grow, and build confidence.We will always be grateful for the love, support, and encouragement our family received at Lilac Learning Academy. It gave us so much peace of mind during a big transition, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience.I can't recommend Lilac Learning Academy enough. We will miss everyone there so much and will always look back on our time there with so much gratitude.

We’ve had a wonderful experience with Lilac Little Learning Academy! Our daughter attends three days a week, and she always seems excited to go. Her teachers are so kind and caring, and she comes home happily exhausted after a fun day of learning and playing. I also love the Brightwheel app—it’s so nice getting daily photos and updates to see what she’s doing throughout the day. I would definitely recommend Lilac Little Learning Academy to any family looking for a caring preschool!

I am so happy I found this little gem of a preschool when we moved from out of state to Spring Hill. The owner/director, Ms. Stephanie, is truly amazing. She genuinely cares about the children and her teachers. She is so involved in the day to day of the school and is so flexible and thoughtful as well. The teacher's have been amazing and it is an added bonus that my kiddos are already learning Spanish. They use the brightwheel app and send tons of pictures throughout the day so you know what your kiddo is up to. I tell them all the time that I have no idea how they think of all of these new things to do with the kids every day. From the science experiments, to art, to chalk, nature walks, games, reading, etc. my kids are learning a ton and having a blast! I would recommend this school to anyone!

I had my daughter in an in home daycare for over a year and felt she wasn’t learning enough. We switched her to Lilac and couldn’t be more pleased. She LOVES going to school and seeing all her friends. She has learned so much and continues to break out of her shyness more and more. Lilac keeps you updated all day long and I have SO much peace of mind knowing how she’s doing throughout my work days. Highly recommend!

We absolutely love Lilac, Mrs. Stephanie, and all the wonderful teachers! From the moment we walked in, I immediately felt at home. The small, intimate class sizes really stood out to me and made me feel confident that my daughter would get the attention and care she deserves.She is so happy every single day when she goes, which says everything. The teachers are incredibly caring and loving it’s clear they truly invest in each child and create such a warm, nurturing environment.We also really appreciate that Lilac is bilingual, that’s such a valuable bonus and something that sets them apart. We’re so grateful to have found a place where our daughter feels safe, supported, and excited to learn!

Lilac has been incredible for our family. We started our daughter there late last year. She was timid and shy, and would cry after we left. The Director at Lilac helped create a plan to help our girl acclimate faster, and was so supportive. We followed the plan exactly as the director suggested, and our girl is now thriving. I have been so impressed with the supportive nature of the staff and the communication we recieve. I love that I get pictures all day long, and I appreciate that if there is an issue, its communicated directly and worked through smoothly. Its very apparent how much the staff loves each and every one of those children. They are devoted to their education and well being. My daughter has learned so much since she has started. Our daughter is 2.5, and is able to count to 10 in spanish. I love the diversity of the class and education. We are so impressed, and I can not brag enough about Lilac. I can not recommend this school more.

We love lilac! We were searching for an inclusive preschool for our little one, and one look at lilac we were sold! We drive from Columbia just to bring our son. He’s learning so much! We love that they’re also taught Spanish too…he’s even teaching us words now. All of the staff is so sweet and kind. We can not recommend them enough!

Our kiddo has been attending Lilac for a little over a year and we could not be more thrilled! Between the caring teachers and the curriculum that includes learning Spanish, we feel it is a very well rounded Academy!

2026-01-15T19:54:29.806Z

We absolutely LOVE Lilac! I knew before we even moved to the area that I wanted our daughter to attend this school and my daughter loves it there! She can't wait to go to school in the morning and is always telling me that Mrs. Stephanie is her best friend! I'm so grateful that this school exists and gives my daughter such a wonderful opportunity to become bilingual, not to mention how all of Lilac's wonderful educators have helped her become more self-sufficient and independent! No other school honestly can compare to Lilac Little Learning Academy!

I wish I could give Lilac 10 stars because they have been life changing for my family! Our oldest son is autistic and has special needs that no other daycare was being able to meet. The teachers at Lilac did absolutely amazing with him! And it made such a difference to know he was somewhere he was safe, loved, valued, and growing every single day. Our youngest son adores going to Lilac too. He is always talking about the friends he has made there and what they are learning. He blows us away every day with how much he knows! This daycare takes it one step beyond watching the kids and uses successful and fun teaching strategies to help the kids develop a love of learning! All of the teachers, students, and parents are close knit and supportive of one another. I'm not being cliche when I say we are family. It takes a village to raise a child and Lilac Little Learning Academy is the greatest village any family could ask for!

Our youngest has been at Lilac for just a few months and they have already made such an impact on him and his learning. The owner and teachers are so compassionate and caring. You can tell they were called to care for littles and their passion shows!

The best in Spring Hill!I recently went back to work full time after staying home with my girls and I was so relieved when I finally found Lilac! After touring so many preschools in the area that felt cold and seem to prioritize business over children, you notice the difference in quality of care right away. Stephanie and the group of amazing teachers are so warm, attentive and truly make you feel like Lilac is an extension of your family.I love that they mix play with learning in such a positive and calm environment. My two daughters have absolutely loved going here and are already excited to speak Spanish! I highly recommend if you want an experience with your childcare that feels like an extension of your home.Highlights: bi-lingual learning, small class sizes, a lot of outside play, no rushed or chaotic drop off process, incredible teachers.I also appreciate the use of the Brightwheel app for communication where they send me updates and photos all day.I can’t say enough amazing things about this program. Highly recommend!

We have loved our experience at LILAC! I had my oldest son there before kindergarten and he has thrived in his transition this year to elementary school. I also bring my 3 year old daughter that LOVES all the teachers and kids. The greatest part is that LILAC is small and feels more like a family than a preschool!

2025-08-27T14:43:59.177Z

We absolutely love this preschool! The smaller class sizes make such a difference in how much attention and care each child receives. The flexibility they offer has been a huge help for our family, and the education is truly top-notch. Communication is excellent—we get daily updates and pictures, which makes us feel connected to our child’s day.What really stands out is how inclusive the school is. Every child’s needs are met with patience, understanding, and genuine care. Stephanie, the owner, clearly loves this school and the children in it—you can feel her passion and dedication in everything she does. It’s such a warm, supportive environment, and we couldn’t be happier!

Our daughter attends this daycare with great joy, and for us as parents, that is the best proof that this place is truly special. It has a friendly, family-like atmosphere, and the policies and teaching methods are well thought out and highly effective. Each child is treated individually, with proper care, dedication, and commitment.The director, Stephanie, is the right person in the right place – qualified, extremely patient and warm, and always ready to help. The entire staff is professional, empathetic, and has a wonderful approach to children. Thanks to this, we know that our daughter is in good hands and can grow in a safe, supportive environment.We are very grateful that our daughter has her place here, and we are sure that in the future we will gladly entrust our other children to this daycare as well. We wholeheartedly recommend this place to all parents who want the peace of mind knowing that their children are surrounded by care, warmth, and professionalism.

We absolutely love Lilac and tell everyone we know about it. Our daughter went through Lilac and now it is our son’s turn. The staff is incredibly supportive and knowledgeable and our kid’s aren’t just a number. They know our kid’s well and the updates throughout the day give us so much peace. With not a lot of family around Lilac feels like a second family.

My daughter attended Lilac for two years before starting Kindergarten and has flourished there. She loves the teachers, and has met some of her best friends there! The teachers ensure each child is nurtured and made to feel special. My daughter attended two half-days a week and in that amount of time, is prepared socially and academically for the next step in her education.

2025-07-09T17:22:31.057Z

Lilac is truly wonderful! All the teachers are incredibly passionate and show such patience with each child. My son is always eager to go to school, and I've seen a remarkable amount of improvement and learning from him. We also appreciate the regular feedback we get about his progress, which helps us understand his strengths and how he's developing.

2025-05-09T19:38:08.027Z

We are extremely happy with the school! The environment is warm and welcoming, and the staff truly care about the children.Kids are always excited to share what they’ve learned. The teachers are kind, attentive, and ensure each child feels safe and valued. A wonderful place for early learning and growth!
