It takes a village..
"It takes a village to raise a child". We sure heard that one before, and we believe this to be very true. So we decided to build that village for our children.
Vila Akoya is a child-centred project
Everything we do is with our little ones in mind. To create an inspiring, safe and supportive environment for our children to grow up in.
Our kids programme contains of lots of spaces and activities designed for the little, and the not-so-little ones.
We have the Homeschooling Hub, a supportive place for our homeschooled children from age 6, and for the homeschooling parents.
