The Village Children’s Programs believes in providing exceptional Early Learning Experiences for children. We celebrate the uniqueness of each child care family and each of our programs is committed to being professional, caring, supportive and responsive to the needs of children and families.
Each of our locations in the community is unique to the children and families of that school and area. We have programs for children from infancy to 12 years of age. We operate Full Day Programs, Before and After School Programs and Camps during school holidays.
Our Early Childhood Educational experiences enhance learning, stimulate creativity, and foster children’s developmental stages.
We believe that parents/guardians are children’s primary educators and work with them to provide children with the best early childhood experiences possible.
We are a non-profit and charitable agency governed by a volunteer parent based Board of Directors.
