Both of my kids go to kids village and they love it! Ms.Jasna and her team are great with kids. My son is 16 months and already knows his ABCs and can count to 10 on his own. They are the best!

Brooklyn is amazing with my 1 1/2 year old. My daughter loves to go to her house every morning, she walks right in like she’s at home and comes home each day knowing new songs, words, numbers and even sign language! I wouldn’t trust anyone else to watch my babies!

Debbie is great about accommodating changes in our schedule and checking in about and honoring any preferences we had about our daughter's care...food, naps, activities, etc. Her love for the kids in her care is obvious and genuine. I recommend her without any hesitation!
