  • We are so happy with IT TAKES A VILLAGE DAYCARE (ITAV)! Natalie and her staff are incredibly caring and attentive, and they really take the time to get to know each child's individual needs. Our son has thrived here, and we especially appreciate the daily updates and pictures we receive. It gives us such peace of mind knowing he is in such good hands. We feel so safe and secure knowing our child is at ITAV. Our son loves going there every day, and we've seen a real improvement in his speech, social skills and confidence. The staff are wonderful, and we highly recommend this daycare.

  • Clean and safe facility with lots of outdoor space and wonderful staff. They took excellent care of my kindergarten-aged son after school and throughout the summer. Natalie and Amanda were so helpful and supportive of me and my son and I'm so grateful for them! If my son hadn't transferred to a school much further away he'd still be at ITAV.

  • I was searching for a safe, clean space for my child to learn and grow. The home-like feel of It Takes a Village drew me in! As a mom (with an extensive background in education), I believe that a small intimate environment is best for very little ones because of the individualized attention they receive. It's too easy for them to get lost in the fray at the larger facilities. I also love the "play-care" approach practiced at It Takes a Village--learning through structured play, which allows children to develop necessary basic skills before they enter pre-school. If you're searching for a safe, clean fun environment for your child, I highly recommend It Takes a Village. I couldn't imagine my son thriving anywhere else.

  • The daycare is wonderful ! Bright colors , Awesome workers , open space for the kids to play , beautiful playground ! Although this daycare is in a home , no one lives in the home and it gives the children a home environment to play in !!!! I would recommend this place to anyone !!!
