I predict the revenue is very small. I hope this meets the expectations of the owners of the space, and the folks who presently run it. It certainly doesn't meet a regular definition of "sustainable business venture: Break even or better"</p> <p>PS. These coop/play space things are usually different from DOHMH Lic Daycares, in that you can't actually leave your kid there. </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/crown-heights-and-prospect-lefferts-gardens/open-house-11312-it-takes-a-village-clubhouse#post-765863 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 22:06:05 +0000 Whatchuwant 765863@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>Actually, they shared the LaunchPad space with the hopes of taking it over.

"The Village" is a funhouse for kids and a clubhouse for parents--a home away from home where new families find friends, reassurance and a creative environment to have fun, get inspired, learn and grow. Children here learn by engaging socially in an inspiring second home for exploration and diverse friend-making. The Village is a continually evolving open space to nurture our growing community of new families. </p> <p>To Learn more:<br /> Visit the website for It Takes a Village!<br /> <a href="http://www.i-t-a-v.org">http://www.i-t-a-v.org</a></p> <p>Have questions?<br /> Contact It Takes a Village!<br /> (917) 499-3244<br /> <a href="mailto:info@i-t-a-v.org">info@i-t-a-v.org</a> </p>
