Chapmanj3July 6, 2017Great place & great location! Healthy food. Love how the babies learn a foreign language from such an early age. Even the co-owner and some of the teachers bring their children here.- Dougie GreyJanuary 8, 2018My daughter has been going to ITAV at River City since she was 20 months (she is now 31 months). She has learnt so much since going there and absolutely loves her teachers and friends!
