Children’s Village
State-of-the-art education center
Owned and operated by Doylestown Health, Children's Village early childhood education center offers a warm, welcoming environment where children—and families—thrive.
A multipurpose gathering space supports assemblies, celebrations, fitness, and community events, while secure administrative offices and enhanced safety measures ensure peace of mind for both current and prospective families.
Outdoor learning and playing are essential parts of our program. Our campus features separate, interactive playgrounds for younger and older children, complete with gardens and engaging splash pads that promote exploration, movement, and social development. Designed with abundant natural light and environmentally responsible, low-impact building standards, our center reflects a strong commitment to wellness and sustainability.

Our history
Children’s Village first opened its doors in 1985 and was established by the Village Improvement Association (VIA), a non-profit women’s organization that also established Doylestown Hospital in 1923.
Originally intended to provide a rewarding, nurturing, and convenient experience for children of Doylestown Hospital employees, Children’s Village started as a “one-room schoolhouse” with a front door, three classrooms, and two offices, serving 40 children.
High demand, along with enrollment requests from non-hospital employees, enabled our facility to grow and accommodate a larger population. By 1993, we had grown to three buildings with 15 classrooms and could accommodate additional children.
Today, we serve more than 200 children from five counties.
We offer an inclusive learning environment for children of all abilities, including non-English speakers. We also work closely with Child Care Information Services of Philadelphia (CCIS) to help families in need of financial assistance.
