About Us

A Village Learning Center

Personalized. Purposeful. Empowering.

At A Village Learning Center, we provide a high-quality Montessori-inspired education in a nurturing, engaging environment for children ages 4 to 9. Our programs go beyond academics—they foster confidence, independent thinking, and a lifelong love of learning.

We’re more than just a school—we’re a supportive village. We partner with families to help children build strong academic foundations, develop emotional resilience, and grow into curious, capable learners.

Each of our programs is thoughtfully designed and led by an Ohio state licensed educator with specialized training in the Orton-Gillingham approach. This evidence-based, multisensory method is especially effective for children with dyslexia or reading challenges, while offering benefits to all students through its structured and personalized instruction.

At A Village Learning Center, our story is built on moments—real, powerful moments that remind us why personalized education matters.

🍎 A struggling student discovered confidence through daily one-on-one support.
🍏 A child uncovered the joy of learning in a classroom that honored their pace and curiosity.
🍎 A frustrated family found hope in a program that finally understood their child’s needs.
🍏 And a teacher’s passion for delivering individualized instruction blossomed into a school devoted to doing just that.

The Founder’s Message

Nicole Bores

Hi, I’m Nicole, and I created A Village Learning Center to make a difference—one student, one family, and one community at a time.

I’m a wife, mother of five, and lifelong educator with deep roots in Toledo. For years, I taught in classrooms, guiding young minds through the foundations of learning. But over time, I realized something was missing—true, individualized support for students who needed more than what traditional classrooms could provide.

In 2020, I made the life-changing decision to step away from the school system and take a new path—one where I could serve students in a way that truly puts their needs first.

As the founder of A Village Learning Center, I personally choose each team member based on their passion for education, their dedication to students, and the unique value they bring to our learning environment.

It’s important to me that every educator who joins this village is aligned with the same purpose that inspired me to create it: empowering students through personalized, compassionate, and effective learning support.

Together, we work closely to ensure each child is seen, supported, and set up for success. I’m incredibly proud of the team I’ve built—and I’d love for you to meet them.
