Get to know us

VHQ started as a conversation between 2 moms on August 20, 2025, with the thought “what if?” which quickly turned into “why not?”

What if childcare and coworking could exist under one roof?

What if parents didn’t have to choose between their careers and their kids?

What if families could access not just care, but true community and support?

What if we could build our own village?

Those questions became OurVillageHQ. What began as an idea is now a growing movement — www.VHQ.Life — creating family-friendly hubs that make life easier, healthier, and more connected for parents and children alike.

Our Team

At OurVillageHQ, we’re more than a childcare and coworking solution — we’re parents, professionals, and problem-solvers who believe in building the modern village families need to thrive.

Danielle Raschke – Founder
I founded OurVillageHQ to solve the childcare crisis I’ve seen firsthand as both a parent and an operator. With a background in scaling customer success teams for startups and enterprises, I know how to build systems that last — and I’m applying that to reimagine childcare and family support nationwide.

Destinie Wood – Mental Health & Wellness Director
As a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist, I bring 10 years of experience in perinatal mental health, early childhood development, and family resilience. My role is to ensure wellness is woven into everything we do — for parents, children, and teens alike.

Becky Haning – Childcare & Licensing Advisor
With deep experience as an ELC Director, I guide how OurVillageHQ navigates licensing, compliance, and classroom quality. I’m here to make sure our childcare environment is safe, nurturing, and trusted by families.

Ankit Nayal – Growth & Strategy Advisor
I’ve helped scale companies from early stage to multi-million-dollar valuations, and I’m advising OurVillageHQ on go-to-market and growth strategy. My focus is building a repeatable model that can scale into a national marketplace.

Carolina Salcedo – Real Estate Partner
As a commercial real estate advisor, I help OurVillageHQ identify and transform underused spaces into thriving family hubs. My passion is in finding hidden potential in properties and turning it into community impact.

Erica Cucinella – Space Planning & Buildout Advisor
I bring expertise in space planning, property management, and operational structures to help design OurVillageHQ locations that are both efficient and family-centered.
