What others are saying:

"It’s so nice to know that my child’s preschool encourages the same values we do in our home. My three year old is often complimented in public on his manners.“Please” and “thank you” are special words, particularly coming from a child. Credit to The Academy!"

"Management and staff are great. Always helpful and friendly. And this place is cleaner than my own house!"

"When I went by to pick up my daughter for a dentist appointment, I saw how her teacher goes out of her way. She was reassuring her that she did not have to eat her peas if she didn’t want to! Then she sat down beside her with a plate and said 'I’ll eat four if you’ll eat four.' Needless to say, they both have decided they like peas now!"

"There is nothing more important in my life, than my son. I would have my child no where else, but here. It’s a gem.”

"Prior to moving to the Asheville area, our two girls attended several child care centers. We just couldn’t find one we were satisfied with. Until I visited The Academy. I did not realize the true meaning of upscale, until now. This place is just wonderful. Consistently wonderful. We’re here to stay!”

"Just yesterday, as were running our weekend errands, my son insisted that we drive by his school to make sure no children were there. He’s five. It was Saturday. I drove by. As we turned around in the parking lot he smiled at me with those big blue eyes and said, “Ok, but is tomorrow a school day?” He loves his school.”

"You know it’s a special place when the teacher didn’t tell on my husband for sending my little girl to school with her dress on backwards. He told on himself. Three weeks later. He said the teacher just smiled, hugger her, patted him on the back and said “Your wife’s out of town again isn’t she?” I would of never known, if he hadn’t told me. What nice people.”

“Even though I knew I made a great decision, the first day I dropped off my child, I left crying. I had not left her anywhere since she was born, other than my mother’s house. Within ten minutes of me leaving, the director called to let me know my child was playing with blocks with two other little girls, and was doing fine. She then said something I’ll never forget. “Please don’t worry, we’ll take great care of her.” "Feel free to call or come by as often as you want to check on her, I don’t want you to worry.” That was three years ago. You remember a sweet gesture like that - forever. I’m now expecting again. Needless to say, I already know where I’m sending this one!”
