Investing in Community
Community-supported investment provides direct programming support, sliding scale and full tuition coverage for no less than 30% of our students in perpetuity, a living wage for all educators, and facilities upgrades that support our mission to expand access to affordable, high-quality, and - most importantly - child-centered early learning in Asheville, North Carolina.
Every single donation helps, no matter how small, and we are grateful for your support.

To co-create with and for children a beautiful, functional, comfortable environment that offers unique learning opportunities inspired by Reggio Emilia and Montessori philosophies. To invigorate and reimagine early childhood education and imbue children with a love of learning as global scholars through creative exploration of open-ended materials, authentic practical life exercises and experiences, integrated arts curriculum, foreign language exposure, and a wide variety of rich opportunities to enhance foundational skills of early literacy.
