Children’s Village opened in 1976 as a child care provider for families working in the unionized garment industry. While this industry in Philadelphia has disappeared, Children’s Village has continued to support working families and their children for 50 years with the provision of high-quality child care, early education, and out of school time programming.
Rooted in the belief that every child from every background deserves to learn, grow, and thrive in a nurturing environment, we have become a nationally recognized model for excellence, inclusion, and innovation in early childhood education.

OUR MISSION

FOCUS ON EXCELLENCE
Our Teachers Are Our Greatest Asset
Children benefit most from teachers who are highly qualified and experienced. Each of our toddler, preschool, and school-age classrooms is headed by two full-time teachers: a lead teacher and an assistant teacher. The infant room has a lead teacher and three assistant teachers.
