It Takes a Village Academy is a wonderful nursery, my Son is so happy there and asks every day if he “is going to nursery today”, even on on weekends! The staff are so welcoming, very professional and highly experienced.

This is a great place for child care, simply because they will go above and beyond for your child and they are NOT all about the money. My kids love it so much they beg to come back…P.s they treat your kids like royalty

Shannon Hawkins

My son started at 2 and a half years old. He wasn’t potty trained and barely talking. In about 4 months at It Takes a Village Academy my son was talking in complete sentences and showing me he had to go to the restroom. He is now 4 and I am so proud to say my son is so smart. I sometimes wonder if he is going on 4 or 44. But it is very great at It Takes a Village Academy. I’m happy I found this school. My son loves going to school and I love sending him.
