Childrens Villages is a family-oriented child development center that operates out of Carlsbad. The center has built several 'villages', each of which represents a stage in a child's development. The children are guided through each village as they mature. The child development center's primary aim is to allow the children to develop their own and unique sense of identity and competence level, all the while learning to respect others and live productively in a diverse world. Childrens Village provides a safe, secure and nurturing environment for the very young to develop a love for life and learning.
