Welcome to the
Children's Garden
Learning Community!
Our mission is to cultivate a deep rooted love of learning with nature, play, hands-on projects, and loving mentorship.
For over 12 years the Children's Garden Learning Community has been offering preschool and homeschool programs that are facilitated by passionate lifelong educators who take time and pride in a thoughtful, experiential, emergent curriculum with inquiry-based learning, social-emotional wisdom, integrated academics, and meaningful activities that support the growth of the whole child.
Our Early Childhood Program serves children ages 18 months to 8 years old and meets from 9am to 1pm or 1:30pm to 5:30pm for 2, 3, or 5 days a week. We have 2 spots available for full time care 9am to 5:30pm opening this August! |
Our Homeschool Program for children 4 to 10 years old meets on Tuesday and/or Thursday from 9am to 1pm.
|
We are located 23 minutes north of Downtown Asheville and have limited spots on a shuttle service that meets in North Asheville. For more information on available spots please fill out an Enrollment Application and email us at [email protected] with any questions.

A great way to get to know more about our program is on our Blog and to come visit us in person at an Open House or Tour.
|
Our days include hands-on projects, nature connection, healthy cooking classes, organic gardening, creative arts, science investigations, kids yoga, music and song, expressive movement, and imaginative free play to nurture the spiritual, physical, emotional, intellectual, and social development of each child.
|
We are fascinated with observing and participating in the learning process of children. Our years of working in a variety of educational environments have shown us that an artful balance of the best in current educational research, holistic models of child development, nature-based education, and elements from the Reggio Emilia approach, Waldorf Education, and the Montessori Method cultivates an integrated and meaningful learning experience.
