VILLAGE CHILD

What started as two moms with a dream has steadily become a flagship business and community gathering place in quaint Old Town Novato. Village Child provides their local community with more than just a great selection of children’s clothing. Co-owners Emily Rich and Mary Price have made it part of their mission to incorporate an authentic sense of community into their “Wear, Gather, Grow” logo.

“We wanted for our local families to feel like they had a real partner to walk with on their parenting journey,” says Founder and President of the Downtown Business Association Emily Rich. “We’ve intentionally focused on creating enriching activities for our downtown to provide families opportunities to connect and build relationships. Our First Fridays on Grant and Princess Storytime events are great examples of that.”

The journey to build community for Downtown Novato continues in 2023 with the opening of Village Collective, a space that features handmade goods from local artist and will soon be the home of a large immersive mural highlighting local Novato landscapes. Weekend popups with local food artisans are also a common occurrence in their new space.
