Supporting The Needs Of The Whole Child
Reflecting our belief in supporting the needs of the whole child, Children’s Village is committed to offering each child the best possible nutrition and daily opportunities for physical activity.
Regular Exercise Promotes Healthy Bodies And Healthy Minds
Toddlers, preschoolers, and school-agers have regular playtime on our outdoor second-floor play area. In fact, we recently renovated this important play space. We replaced the play equipment storage shed and repainted the awning and frame.
Center City Philadelphia features many parks and points of interest for neighborhood excursions. Toddlers, preschoolers, and school-agers have daily opportunities to exercise and stay fit.
Nutritious Meals Are Prepared In Our Own On-Site Kitchen
A healthy, well-balanced breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack are prepared daily for children in our chef-led on-site commercial kitchen. School-age children receive dinner after school. The varied menu includes in-season fresh. local produce. Especially important, our menu reflects the cultures of our families. Children dine family-style in the classroom with their teachers. Parents and family members are always welcome to join children for a bowl of cereal and fruit at breakfast.
