Kids Garden Asheville — Attraction in Asheville

We absolutely love Kids Garden Asheville. We moved from out of state and all the daycares in the area had a 1-3 year waitlist. We were stoked when we stumbled upon Kids Garden and learned that we could start dropping in immediately. Luckily right when we arrived in Asheville, a spot opened up in the KG Preschool program for our 2 year old son. We started at Kids Garden with the intent of it being temporary until a spot become available at one of the full time daycares in the area since the KG preschool program is only 9-1 and both my husband and I work full time. After a month and a half at KG a full time spot opened up somewhere else so we made the difficult decision to switch daycares since it worked better with our work schedule. After only 2 weeks at the new daycare we knew the quality of care was nowhere near what our son was receiving at Kids Garden so we left the full time daycare to go back to Kids Garden; that’s how amazing they are. The teachers at KG are so passionate, patient and loving towards the kids in the center. They do amazing arts and crafts that our son looked forward to everyday and was always so proud to show us when we picked him up. They provide healthy food and snacks and are always teaching the kids something new and exciting in their lesson plans. Our son never wanted to leave KG when we would come to pick him up and would even try to hide from us, but somehow the teachers were always able to talk him into going home and leaving happily. The center is very secure, always clean and overall just a great place. Our son has learned and grown so much already in his time at KG. We can’t wait till our daughter is old enough to start going as well. Whether you are thinking about dropping in or joining the preschool program, do it, you will not be disappointed and your kid...

There are so many wonderful things to say about Kids Garden, I could probably write an essay! Our 2 year old daughter attends their morning preschool program. Initially, she was nervous to be away from me since she had never attended a child care program before. All of the teachers were incredibly patient and caring, easing her into her new routine. Now she asks to go to school often and exclaims "I'm excited!" as we drive there. The owner of Kids Garden is a mother and has taken such care in creating an amazing environment for kids to learn through play. The toys and materials are well-thought out and she has managed to create a beautiful space that is clean and peaceful, yet exciting. My daughter makes unique art projects with her teachers and friends every time she attends and they participate in fun and enriching themes for the week or month. The mix of ages present at Kids Garden has been awesome for my daughter because she loves to play with friends her own age but also loves and benefits from spending time with younger children she can nurture and older children who can inspire and teach her. Every single teacher at Kids Garden is kind, attentive, and experienced in working with children. Many of them are parents themselves. And the drop-in element offers flexibility you can't find anywhere else. I love, love, love this place and can't say enough positive...

Kids Garden and all the teachers are amazing! Our 2.5 year old daughter has been going to Kids Garden for over a year now and she loves it. Kids Garden was so important for us during Covid when our childcare needs changed. I always felt safe bringing her here during the height of the pandemic because of the precautions they took.

The flexibility of Kids Garden has been awesome as her nap schedule has changed over the year+ and now she is in the preschool program.

We love all the teachers but she has a special affinity for Ms. Karly and Ms. Courtney. They are all so attentive and supportive. If she is having a bad day then she gets more hugs (and I get text updates which put me at ease). They have also been crucial and supportive during potty training and other bigger development periods.

Our daughter loves doing the art projects, circle time, playing on the play set, learning dances to different toddler songs, and of course playing with her friends.

I love that they have themed weeks and months and I feel that she has learned a lot. I also like that there is a spread of ages because she can learn from and interact with kids older and younger than her. I also really like that they have an environmental focus and most of the art she brings home are made from recycled products that parents donate.

We love...
