The Learning Village Early Childhood Development Center 100 Deer Creek Road, Saxonburg, PA 16056

"My daughter first entered The Learning Village when she was 9 months old. She has had a fantastic experience in both the infant and the 1 year old room. Different age groups each have their own classroom tailored just for their needs. There is a fenced outdoor area for the children to play that is equipped with play equipment suited to their ages. They are provided a variety of activities through out the day. The environment is structured and well-thought out. Daily reports allow me to see what my child is eating, when diapers are changed, how long she naps, and what activities she does. Best of all, the staff is terrific. They handle the challenges of childcare with a calm, positive attitude."

"If I could give The Learning Village more stars, I would in a heartbeat. I cannot speak more highly about this establishment and staff there. We started at The Learning Village in November of 2018, with my 2.5 year old and barely 12 week old. Prior to us starting there my children had only been under the care of myself or family, but do to ending maternity leave and job change we needed help for childcare. I was beyond nervous about my children starting daycare for the above reasons, but Melanie and the staff there put me at ease immediately. In the first couple weeks, I called daily to check on the boys on top of my daily reports and never once did I feel like I was an inconvenience or “crazy” for calling. My children and myself have a food allergy and anyone with an allergy will tell you that there comes a sense of nervousness in possible interactions that your children will face without you there. Again, TLV put me at ease. They are constantly checking and verify food to be safe with my children and look to provide alternative options so that my children can be included in all things there. The staff at The Learning Village I cannot speak more highly about. Melanie, The Director, has done a fantastic job in cultivating staff members who truly care and love what they do. From walking into the door every morning, staff welcoming you and your children into the center, even staff members whom have never taught or cared for your children but know you and them by name is a very heart warming and endearing experience. Having two children at the center has allowed me the opportunity to experience several rooms, teachers and curriculums and I know on how my children are learning, experiencing and doing that they have great care and support while at school. Also, I am not only a Mom but a pediatric physical therapist in which I have traveled into multiple childrens centers to provide care. And to be honest, I have been in some really terrible places. Dirty, smelly, not well organized nor children well “cared” for. That is not The Learning Village. Is the building brand spanking new and top of the line? No, but the staff and care they provide sure are."

"The Learning Village is the only place I would send my children. We have been attending for 2.5 yearss The owner and teachers are nurturing, creative, innovative, and energetic. I have had a child in every room from infant to preschool and each time I see them grow, thrive, and love learning .Thank you for loving our children and shaping them into lifelong learners."

"Our daughter has attended the learning village since she was 3 months old. Although there have been new owners that took over ownership right before our daughter started we have seen changes that have been welcome (installation of security cameras, staff wearing matching t-shirts, weekly reports being sent home in addition to daily reports). In the infant room our daughters teachers Miss Julie and Miss Lauren have been fantastic. They really care about our daughter and it shows in the things that she is learning on a daily basis (things I know I am not teaching her at home). They are very receptive to suggestions and communicate things effectively with other staff members who may be taking care of our daughter as well. It is a hard decision to choose a daycare that is a good fit for you child, however I can say with utmost confidence that I would recommend this facility to anyone who is looking for a reputable center with staff members who care about your children."

"The learning village has been a phenomenal daycare and has dedicated themselves around the children and early childhood development education. Both of my children have attended since they were both babys. They love the staff and have become so smart and proud of what they have learned on the daily basis, they are always excited to go. The new ownership and all the staff have always been so helpful with my schedule and they always do whatever they can to help me. I am so glad to share my children's childhood with such wonderful and understanding people!"
