Parents at an Indian housing complex in Minneapolis, Minnesota, are finding a safe place for their infants and toddlers.
Baby's Space at the Little Earth Neighborhood Learning Center provides childcare services for children from birth to age five.
"This is a place where they can be themselves. They are here to learn things that are important in their lives right now, like their colors and shapes," Jenni Bruce, a 20-year-old mother, told The Minneapolis Star Tribune. "We're not rushing them to grow up."
Baby's Space is also home to Tatanka Academy, a year-round public school for students pre-kindergarten to third grade.
