About Us

Our Mission

It Takes A Village Academy Center provides a "home away from home" environment where children grow and learn together. Children will develop a passion for learning in an atmosphere that is fun, exciting, and educational. We are unique because our owner, director, office manager, and teaching staff have more than 200 combined years of experience in the field of Early Childhood Education. 

Our Philosophy & Values

At ITAVA, we believe in nurturing the whole child. Our philosophy is built on the foundation of love, learning, and laughter, providing a warm, safe, and engaging environment where your child can grow physically, emotionally, intellectually, and socially. 

  • Respect for Each Child: We recognize the uniqueness of each child. Our approach respects individual differences, encourages self-expression, and values the curiosity that drives each child to understand the world in their own way. 

  • A Learning Journey: Education is a journey, not a race. We blend structured learning with play in a way that makes education enjoyable and relevant to their everyday experiences. Our curriculum is designed to ignite imagination, foster creativity, and instill a love of learning that lasts a lifetime. 

  • Emotional and Social Development: We believe emotional well-being and social skills are just as important as academic achievements. Our programs include activities that teach empathy, cooperation, and problem-solving skills, preparing children for the broader world around them. 

  • Partnership with Parents: We view parents as our partners in the nurturing process. Open communication and collaboration are key. We encourage parent involvement and share your child's progress, celebrating milestones and achievements together. 

  • Safety and Well-being: Your child's safety is our top priority. Our center is designed to be a secure haven where children can explore and learn without worry. Our staff is trained in safety protocols and first aid/CPR, ensuring a secure environment that gives parents a peace of mind. 

  • Diversity and Inclusion: We embrace diversity and strive to instill an appreciation for all cultures and backgrounds. Our inclusive environment ensures that every child feels valued and understood. 

Our Staff

Our staff are the heart and soul of our center. Each member is selected for their passion for education, their dedication to child development, and their genuine love of working with children. Our educators and caregivers are not just staff; they are extended family to the children they care for and their families. Our team brings creativity, enthusiasm, and passion to every day. Whether it's through an engaging learning activity, a fun outdoor adventure, or a quiet moment reading a book, our staff knows how to spark joy and curiosity in every child. Our team at ITAVA is dedicated to creating an environment where your child can grow, learn, and thrive. We invite you to meet our wonderful team and learn more about the people who make our center a special place for your little ones.
