Little Village is helping families meet their children’s and caregiver’s needs in the earliest years. It’s a place for children from birth to age 5 to play and families to find community. It makes such a difference to know as a family that we are not alone; to find others whose kids enjoy the same thing and find that we are overcoming the same challenges together. As the old proverb goes: It takes a village. We hope you will come find yours at Little Village.
Little Village is a play space designed for fun, early learning, and community connection for families of children from birth to 5. There is no charge to participate, and it has flexible hours to meet families’ schedules. This program provides the opportunity for play, learning, and community relationships for families to thrive together.
