Care Member says "Our daughter has been enrolled at It Takes a Village for almost a year now and we have truly loved it. I was very worried about sending her to daycare as she spent her first year home with me but the teachers have been so wonderful to her. The kids play outside all day if the weather is nice and if they are inside they are doing adorable crafts. It truly feels as though trusted family members are watching our child. We would highly recommend It Takes a Village."
