Welcome to
Village Square Learning

Located in Hedgesville, WV, The Village Square Learning is dedicated to creating an environment, curriculum, and experience to help your child stay inspired and empowered using their individual strengths, as well as trusted childcare and learning techniques. Childhood development is a process which prepares children to meet the challenges of adolescence and adulthood through a coordinated, progressive series of activities and experiences. These experiences help them to become socially, morally, emotionally, physically, and cognitively competent.

Village Square Learning’s positive proactive initiatives address the broader developmental needs of children, in contrast to deficit-based models which focus solely on youth problems. Elements of our plan promoting positive development include the building of ongoing relationships with caring adults, creating safe places with structured activities during non-school hours, and facilitating a healthy start to a positive future through effective education and development of marketable life-skills
