It Takes a Village Early Learning Center 906 Enterprise Road, Bowie, MD 20721

"It takes a Village is an amazing early learning center that is curriculum based. Owner and staff differentiate learning based on the individual needs of each child. The center communicates openly with families. They create a warm and nurturing environment and overall is an amazing and safe environment for learning to take place!!"

"Amazing school! I transferred my daughter to this school when she was about 2.5 years old because her previous daycare center was holding her back. I love that ITAV is a family and I love that all the kids get a good educational challenge. My daughter was able to test into kindergarten early because of Allison and the wonderful staff here. Highly recommended."

"Ms. Allison and the teachers of ITAV were phenomenal in providing an excellent educational experience coupled with a caring, nurturing and safe environment. My boys attended for 2 years and left to advance to kindergarten. We were told that they are both ahead in terms of reading and comprehension and we must attribute that to Ms. Allison’s leadership. The curriculum that she uses to teach the children was fantastic. We will miss her, the teachers and of course Ms. Gwen, who prepared the BEST meals f the children every day. Very grateful for our experience here. It truly takes a village and we certainly feel that a village helped to raise and mold our boys."

"It has been a pleasure to watch It Takes a Village grow into a thriving early learning center and family oriented community. The teachers have prepared my kids for kindergarten through the use of play, rigorous curriculum and social emotional development programs. They have hosted wonderful celebrations, field trips and camps! I have already recommended ITAV to families who want to challenge their kids and set them on the path for excellence!"

"My oldest daughter is a recent It Takes A Village graduate and I couldn't be more impressed with her development. She started the center when she was 3 and has since blossomed into a well rounded and smart little girl. She has learned so much in preparation for Kindergarten, I have no doubts that she will have a successful first year in "Big Kid" school. The field trips, dance/sports activities and events at the center - has fostered bonds between the students and their families. My youngest daughter is currently enrolled, and I'm glad I still have an opportunity to remain apart of the family! It Takes a Village comes highly recommended and I will forever sing Allison and her staff's praises!"
