It Takes A Village (ITAV), a leading provider of high-quality early childhood education and a dedicated advocate for social justice in education, is thrilled to announce the grand opening of its fourth childcare center, located at 1020 S.

The Wabash location is designed to provide a nurturing and enriching environment for young learners, from infants to preschoolers, in line with ITAV’s commitment to fostering holistic child development. ITAV offers early intervention services, and their curriculums include The Creative Curriculum, Baby Signs, and Engage NY for Math.
