Chapel

Weekly Chapel is a core part of our program and an important connection between The Village and the extended Riviera UMC community. In Chapel, children learn about God’s love and the compassion of Jesus through age appropriate Bible stories, songs, games and prayer. Chapel is led by Ms. Dena, who is the Director of Faith Formation and Programs at Riviera UMC. Families are always welcome to attend.

Music

Exposing children to music has so many positive impacts on children’s development. It encourages creativity, and stimulates their mind and body, as both work together when playing an instrument or singing a song. Our children are having so much fun being creative and learning music concepts from Ms. Ashley, our music instructor. For more information about her music program please go to https://www.ashleymillsmonaghan.com/musicforkids.

Family Testimonials

  • Dan L.

    I sent both of my daughters to "The Village", and it was and still is an amazing experience for me and my daughters!

    The preschool director, Yuli, has been instrumental in shaping the school into the nurturing and enriching environment. Her leadership and dedication are reflected in the awesome staff which my kids honestly love and trust. The school prepared my oldest for Kindergarten by building her confidence and fostering strong social skills that helped her transition smoothly to a much larger public school setting. Definite A+ Would highly recommend this school for your little ones!

  • Melissa R.

    TLDR: We LOVE The Village Children's Center. Fantastic teachers, great communication, warm & welcoming environment, excellent curriculum, and involved parent community.

    Our family is fortunate to have found The Village. We enrolled our kids in the full time preschool + aftercare. The collaborative teachers are led by the director, Yuli. She exudes genuine kindness and care! The amazing teachers truly care about every student. They monitor progress and openly communicate with parents. Our son quickly latched onto his teachers and was excited to go to school. They emphasize foundational skills (counting, letters, motor skills, emotional development, creativity, critical thinking, etc.) in an engaging way! There's a mix of learning centers, outdoor play, music and cooking classes. We feel connected to the community and love attending the events. They offer competitive tuition rates and a variety of enrollment options.

    I want to encourage anyone to consider The Village Children’s Center for their child. The staff has taken such wonderful care of my grandson. Yuli and the teachers all showed him tenderness, understanding and love. Their classrooms are clean and modern. Their outdoor play space is large, covered and filled with fun play spaces. My grandson quickly grew to love “going to school” and didn't want to leave at the end of the day!

  • Rick S.

    The Village Children's Center is an awesome Children's Daycare Pre-School, with qualified leadership, teachers and support who put a whole lot of TLC and Humanity into their approach towards the development of the children under their care. The student to teacher ratio here is excellent, where we felt confident our child was getting proper attention as well as supervision.

  • Lauren R.

    The Village Children's Center is such a wonderful school. The directors and teachers genuinely care about the children and enjoy what they do. Being a teacher myself, I know how important both play and nuture are for a developing preschooler and this school does an excellent job of infusing learning through play and also teaching them how to care for one another. Any family would be lucky to have their child attend here.

  • Brittany P.

    I want to thank you and your wonderful staff for taking such great care of Leo during this huge transition in his life. You all showed him tenderness, understanding and love. He grew to love "going to school!" I pray the best for all of you.

  • C Donnelly

    Most loving, sweet, smart, educational, thoughtful school/staff. Our whole experience with them has been terrific. I’d highly recommend to anyone looking to bring their children to a local preschool/daycare.

Compassion Projects

  • Personal

    Though they have little hands, children learn how to show compassion to themselves and each other on a daily basis. Through guided conflict resolution, daily routines of centering, appreciations, and connectedness, our students grow their hearts to show compassion for all.

  • Local

    Riviera United Methodist Church and The Village Children's Center partner with Toberman Neighborhood Center to provide support for those in need. Our Villagers make a monthly impact through a class project to support local community workers. Whether it's brightening the days of firefighters or thanking sanitation workers, the children at The Village Children Center make an impact on their local community.

  • Global

    The United Methodist Church partners with various organizations to support their needs. The Village Children's Center community will decide which organization we want to support each year. From the Heifer Fund to Water for Life, our community will make a global impact each year.
