Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
I have been in the child care business for approximately 28 years.
What is your primary product or service?
Our purpose is to give your child the best quality child care and preschool education possible. I have an early childhood studies BA, which I felt was necessary to provide the kind of care that we offer. We believe in the development of the whole child.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
When my youngest child was born, being that I was disappointed with the child care I was receiving at the time, and even before that, with the caring of my twins. Something had to be done and I had the heart, love and passion to care for children to do it.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
At It Takes a Village Learning Academy we focus on each child as an individual. We respect and foster every child's pride and securities to his own identity and respect for others. We encourage families to engage in a partnership with "It Takes A Village Learning Academy"(ITAV)
