A Unique Twist on Traditional Concepts Mommy and Me Classes in Asheville, NC

Kids Garden has been such a blessing. My husband and I don’t have family nearby to help with our 18 month old so we have started using the drop in childcare occasionally. Not only does my daughter LOVE going but the staff are incredible, and they provide a nice mix of free play and craft/activities. Even though there is no outside play area - the room has giant windows to let in natural light.

We're incredibly grateful for Kids Garden! Our lil' girl is almost 2, so we've been trying to introduce her to different social settings and activities. Miss Karly has always been kind, patient, and reassuring. She suggested dropping off our little in the afternoon, when it's a bit quieter. Our kiddo is adjusting well, and loves the art classes! Miss Isa went the extra mile last week, spending some serious one-on-one time with her. It truly makes a difference, we love Kids Garden!

My family has been going to Kids Garden for over a year, and we’re extremely grateful for the loving teachers who have created a second home for our two daughters. There’s no way that I could come up with the number of activities you do there; Clara always comes home talking about them! Big shoutout to the sisters Miss Carly and Miss Megan for their professionalism and positivity. You both set a great example!!

We love KG! My daughter has been going since she could walk and always has a great time. Everyone on the staff is kind and I always feel safe leaving her in their care.

I am so impressed with the various arts and crafts Kids Garden offers everyday, experiences I would never think to do on my own. My daughter absolutely loves going to “school”, she has so much fun and calls her teachers her best friends. She comes home having learned something new every day during circle time. I feel so comfortable leaving Margot there, I know she is in great hands.

Absolutely thrilled with our experience at Kids Garden Asheville! The curriculum is beautifully grounded in Montessori and Reggio Emilia principles, fostering an environment where creativity and learning thrive. The staff are exceptional—genuine, dedicated, and incredibly supportive. They truly bring out the best in every child. Highly recommend this center for anyone looking to enrich their child's educational journey with a nurturing and innovative approach. Five stars!

Love, love, love Kids Play Garden! Our grand child went to preschool there for 5 weeks and she loved it. The teachers are wonderful.

We take advantage of Kids Garden Parents' Night Out to enjoy a child-free date night each month. In addition, when plans have fallen through, we've used their drop-in daycare service as well. We love that our child enjoys structured play and child based learning activities in a safe, clean environment. The staff members are kind, caring, and patient. Kudis to Megan, Sophie (x2), and Kiya for another fantastic experience today. We highly recommend Kids Garden-Asheville!

My youngest has really enjoyed her time in the preschool program, and both of my daughters participated in and loved the spring break camp. The staff are kind and helpful, and the facility always looks clean. They do a fantastic job here!

We LOVE Kids Garden! Honestly, when my son started around 2 years old he was going through some *big* transitions. He had just become a big brother and his world was turned upside down. The teachers at Kids Garden helped him tremendously. He always has so much fun learning with his friends and teachers. The teachers are the BEST! After a few months of drop off care we enrolled in preschool! Such a wonderful experience. So grateful for y'all!

Wonderful teachers & incredibly enriching environment for my child! Our family has had an amazing experience sending our child to preschool at Kids Garden! We love it!

Our family loves Kids Garden! As a business owner, it’s important to have flexibility and Kids Garden is just that. We have been so happy to hear about all the things our child tells us he learns weekly. We also enjoy seeing his art projects and how he connects the dots at home. We previously looked for a Montessori school but had no luck with flexible days. Kids Garden holds a Montessori-style standard and we have greatly appreciated that. My child considers his teachers at Kids Garden family and is so happy he tells me about his day. We can’t wait to sign up our second child this coming fall!

We were in town visiting and I was very impressed with the quality of care my child received. It felt immediately like family and my child was comfortable and had the best time! Definitely recommend!

Absolutely love the kids garden 💚 The curriculum is amazing, the staff truly cares about the children and you leave with so many crafts that your child works on during their day. It’s such a blessing!

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 will love it.

Thrilled to have a place to drop in for care while we grown ups enjoyed four hours of Asheville. My 4yo had a good time making art and playing with the younger kids! Don't miss it!

I took my twin girls to Kids Garden for 1-2 hours about 5-6 times over a few months. I only dropped them off when I had to go into the office for a meeting. They were super nice and tried to make my girls enjoy their time anyway they could. One of my twins, we recently found out, is autistic. I dropped the girls off at Kids Garden for 2 1/2 hours one day due to back to back meetings. This had never happened before but it was just an additional 30 minutes. I received a call when I was on my way to pick them up that they couldn’t accommodate my autistic daughters needs and would be unable to watch her. This was very disappointing as I had a FABULOUS experience up until that point. However, I still recommend them to everyone. They really are great, just aren’t able to take kids who need a little more attention. Though I do wish they had the capability to watch kids with autism as the fun activities they do, are right up an autistic child’s alley.

I was referred by an acquaintance. I am very pleased with the service and convenience of child care service. When I need the extra help to watch my little ones, Kids Garden is there for our family. Greatly appreciated. The kids have fun and enjoy themselves. They look forward to their next visit.

Where would we be without Kids Garden!? My daughter LOVES Kids Garden so much; she gets very pumped when I tell her we're going to 'her garden'. The staff is kind and helpful, the facilities at KG are always clean, tidy, and the space is all around enchanting-- I want to hang out there and play! Whether I have to run errands, get work done and attend multiple Zoom calls, or just sit in silence in the sunshine for an hour so I don't completely lose my mind as a single parent -- Kids Garden is the best. I love them. I appreciate the work they do (I SO value you, childcare pros!) Please don't ever close and please expand to everywhere. America needs more KG's!

Kids Garden is a 10/10 for how more childcare centers should be structured. They offer flexible hours, drop-ins and month to month preschool options …which sets them apart from most facilities. I wish there were more locations in more major cities. The staff is amazing and offer a safe and clean environment for the children to learn through play activities. I would highly recommend Kids Garden to anyone with children living or visiting Asheville.
