Children at It Takes a Village

A caring village where children grow, learn, and belong.

Each center is shaped by steady routines, caring teachers, and clear parent communication, so children feel safe, known, and ready to grow.

About ITAV

Built by parents. Grown for families.

It Takes a Village was started by Maranda and Mike Donnelly after seeing firsthand how hard it can be for families to find dependable childcare close to home. What began as a small program has grown into a village of New Hampshire centers built around nurturing care, learning through play, and family partnership.
