Revolutionizing How Parents Learn to Care for Their Children
We know that every second counts for parents.
We give you the answers you need - quickly & clearly
We believe the traditional methods parental education do not meet the needs of today’s families
Childcare Books
Who has the time?
People have been writing & buying childcare books for years. The good ones are typically well researched & supported by some science. However, these books are dense and take require a long time to read. Because the authors want to reach the largest possible audience, the guidance might not even apply to your situation. When a book does not work, you can get caught in the cycle of buying yet another book to look for answers.
The Village Difference
By talking to an Expert, you get your answers right away, without digging through page after page. Because your Expert is there for you, they can provide nuanced guidance specific to your situation, family, & parenting style.
Online Forums
Who wrote that?
Finding the right forum or website can take a long time, but the challenges do not end there. Yes, they provide interactive advice, but there is no way of knowing who is actually answering your question. Is it someone who has your best interest in mind? Or a parent who is attempting to project a level of parental perfection which is unattainable?
The Village Difference
Village is your one-stop shop for answers. With Village, you know that guidance is coming from a veteran of the childcare profession, informed by years of experience, training, certifications, & accreditations. A Village Expert is a friendly face, an understanding ear, and a knowledgeable addition to your parenting team.
Friends & Family
Don’t judge me, but…
Your friends & family are your first village. Village cannot replace the love they provide, but we can help with some of the complications. We know that asking for help can be intimidating, even in the closest families. The fear of judgment, comparison, or competition stops many parents from asking for help. Even if they do, the advice might be out of date.
The Village Difference
When you talk with a Village Expert, you can be comfortable in a judgment-free space, knowing you’re talking to someone who has seen it all. With an objective view of the situation, our Experts are here to give you the tools you need to succeed. No question is too basic & no concern is too silly.
Our guidance is driven by the latest & greatest approaches to childcare, delivered by Experts currently applying these techniques in their professional lives.
The Best
of the Best
Our Experts are handpicked from the most elite circles of childcare professionals
Who are our Experts?
From graduates of the Norland College & beyond, we recruit from the top echelons of childcare professionals. We look for people with years of experience, working across multiple families & situations, who not only understand the techniques & tools of childcare, but how to apply them in real life.
Our Experts are professionals who have dedicated their careers to the development & care of children, learning the latest approaches along the way.
Strengthen Your Parenting Team
Beyond their knowledge, we look for Experts who reflect Village’s core principles of caring & support. We want our Experts to become a part of your parenting team, helping to fill in the gaps and guide with empathy & kindness.
When you speak to your Expert, the focus is purely on you & your family. It is your time to ask as many questions as you need to understand the guidance the Expert provides. If a technique does not match your parenting style or does not feel right for your family, your Expert will work with you to find one that does.
Focused on the Practical
Village Experts are not doctors or psychiatrists. While our guidance & techniques are informed by the latest understanding of child development from these professionals, we focus on the practical aspects of parenting.
As parents, you will always know your children the best and, if you have concerns about your child’s health, you should seek out a healthcare professional.
However, their training & professional experience typically do not include the things you need to do as parents. Our Experts are here to bridge that gap and give you the tools you need to parent like a pro. Please see our How Can We Help page for a complete list of challanges
Not Here to Judge
Over their careers, our Experts have seen it all. They’ve seen parents make mistakes and they’ve made mistakes. When you discuss your challenges with a Village Expert, you can be confident that your Expert is listening without judgment and will use it as an opportunity for you to learn & grow. There is no question too simple, basic, or insignificant. Nobody cares more about your child than you and, if something matters to you, it matters to us.
Asking for help can be intimidating, but every parent & childcare professional has to do it at some point. With Village, you have a safe space to get the help that you need. You are not admitting a weakness, but demonstrating your strength & determination to give your best to your children.
Our goal is to help children grow up to be happy adults.
Our guidance is designed to nurture emotional health & intelligence
Your Children
Are Our Priority
Our Childcare Principles
Our guidance is designed with the core principles of:
Safety
Our first priority is to ensure the safety of your children. Our guidance often gives children the space to learn, explore, & express themselves, but there are situations when this is not possible. Our Experts will always make sure that you understand when you need to be the parent and take action to make sure your children stay safe.
Emotional Health & Intelligence
Parenting is most effective when it is aligned with the development of a child’s emotional intelligence. Our guidance is designed to fit within the growing boundaries of what a child can understand and give children the vocabulary to understand what emotions they are feeling, express them in an appropriate way, & learn how to ask for help or even independently resolve them.
Intellectual Growth
We look for every opportunity to include education into your children’s life & help you to incorporate learning into day-to-day activities like play and meal times
