Do you want a weekly "me" evening to relax, go to a yoga class, etc? We've got you!

We have drop offs available Monday through Friday available as early as 3:00 pm and are open until 10:30 pm.

Weekend hours are flexible- let us know what you need and we'll do our best to accommodate you!

We're INSURED!!!!!!

We just signed a $3 Million Commercial General Liability contract with NEXT insurance!

Shopping for insurance was HARD!!!!! Most wouldn't be able to accomodate our long-term goals, and wanted ridiculous downplayments. But...... a HUGE weight lifted off of my shoulders knowing not only my business, but our families are covered too if anything were to happen on our watch!

I Have A Dream

In honor of Martin Luther King Day and his Dream, I wanted to share my dream for the future of my childcare. Dr. King strived for equality and resources for all peoples, and I have a dream where every family has the availability of childcare they need. Not only are there not enough quality and affordable childcares, but most childcares also only serve families in the typical Monday through Friday 7-5 (or similar) work schedule. This leaves out 1st shifters, 3rd shifters, 12-hour shifts, overnights, weekends, etc. Most of our Safety Service personnel can’t use a typical daycare because of their odd hours.

I have this wild dream of becoming a 24/7/365 childcare. Children would have a safe and comfortable space to spend their time while their parents are working hard to support their families. Families wouldn’t have to worry about who’s couch their child is sleeping on, who’s around their kids, what foods they’re eating- they would get all the safety features of a traditional childcare in a non-traditional way.

I hope to continue to expand my hours and services until one day I can move into a facility and offer 24/7 childcare. I hope to partner with local community leaders, organizations, and businesses to try to make this wild dream come true for the Mansfield/ Lexington area.

Will you join me in making this dream a reality?

Introducing the Mommas Helping Mommas Program!

Looking for a quality childcare but can't afford our normal rates?

Have no fear- the Mommas Helping Mommas Program with It Takes A Village Childcare is here! Since we can't take JFS or county payments just yet, we're offering this program because why should you have to settle for less for your little love?

The Mommas Helping Mommas Program is a temporary reduced rate or altered payment plan program to help families get quality and trustworthy care while they catch up financially.

This gives families time to explore their options, trial out what they can and cannot afford, all the while having dependable childcare.
