What is WeVillage?

WeVillage is a licensed child care facility that offers an array of services.

WeVillage is a safe, fun and happy place away from home. So, whether your children spend an hour a month with us or 25 hours a week, they will leave with some new tidbit of knowledge that bolsters what they are learning in school or home. Of course, they’ll leave with a big ol’ smile too.

WeVillage is available for birthdays, events and special occasions! Contact us to rent our fabulous space for your next event.

Karen Beninati, founder of WeVillageWeVillage is the brainchild and conception of Karen Beninati. The idea was born out of this single mother’s love and appreciation for providing quality in every aspect when working with children, her own love of children and her experience with child/parent relationships garnered during her volunteer experiences at her son Luca’s schools.

Karen masterminds the behind-the scenes operations of WeVillage. Her skills in managing big-budget projects, production management and multitasking were gained from years working in the demanding environment of Hollywood film production. After starting from the bottom as an intern, Karen eventually started her own company, which she moved to Portland. She has traveled Europe quite thoroughly and her dedication to design and a global outlook can be seen in the community environment of WeVillage Child Care Space. Karen is also finishing her degree in Child Psychology.
