Mission Statement
North Asheville Preschool is committed to providing children with a high-quality education by encouraging each child to express themselves through language, art, music, and physical activity. With the emphasis on learning through play, they are building socialization and self-help skills that build up their self-esteem, which is needed in all areas of life.
Our Philosophy
We believe the first years of a child's life are very important, helping to lay the foundation for all intellectual and emotional development to follow. Through nurturing and individualized attention, we take great care to provide a warm, friendly, and fun environment for your child, while ensuring they receive the guidance and structure they need.
We strive to nurture your child's ideas and imagination, acknowledge each child's individuality, and validate each personality. Our goal is to provide a place where children know that they are accepted, loved, protected, and wanted; helping to instill in each child a strong sense of self-worth and purpose.
Our job is to make sure that each child has numerous positive experiences and interactions throughout the day. It is our hope that when the day is done, and children go home, they feel happy and proud of themselves; eager to share the happenings of their day with you.
We feel that good communication between a parent and provider is a very important part of any quality childcare program. We are committed to creating a strong bond with you and your child, helping to ensure the best start to your child's life. Our goal is that you feel completely confident and reassured when you leave your child in our care. Each child is different, unique, and special and will be treated as such.
