From our Village Families

“As I was sitting in my car, wiping up my tears, my phone dinged. I looked down to see a notification from The Village. “Oh, no,” I thought. “What did I forget for him?” With my stomach in my throat, I opened the Brightwheel childcare app, and there was a photo of Owen, laying back with a slight grin on his face, with the caption, “Have a great first day mama!” My heart melted, and then I was back to tearing up. Once classes were over with for the day, I practically ran to my car, drove to The Village, waited to be let in, and once verified that I am a parent of a child, I excitedly rushed to the infant room. “Mommy’s back!” He was handed over to me, and I got a report on how he did, and then was asked about how my first day back was going.”

The Village was the Right Choice

“When I was looking for a “daycare” for my daughter a little less than a year ago… I was torn between 2. My son had gone to the other one and I knew the teachers… it was in the same building complex where I work! Something told me to choose The Village… I realize every week I have made the right decision. My 3 year old can print her name, she knows the days of the week and the months of the year, she sings and talks my ear off…I was worried at one point she wouldn’t talk at all. She loves “school”!!!! Thank you to every single person who cares for and teaches my daughter at The Village… from the bottom of my heart!”

“I want to take a moment and thank you for everything. You have gone above and beyond for almost six full years now to assure that I could continue my education. You not only completely changed the trajectory of my life, and Sam’s, but my children’s as well. Thank you for everything that you have done for us. We are heartbroken over the fact that we won’t get to be there with you anymore, to the point of tearing up as I write this, but know that we will always be a part of your Village.”
