My daughter is preparing for her second year at Creative Beginnings, in the 4-year-old class with…read moreMs. Beth. We've loved their program, and the teachers are amazing and loving. She was so sad when school ended in May, and she found out she had to wait 3 months to go back. There is a really great group of families that go here, many of them have had multiple kids go through the program here. I can't recommend them highly enough, they'd get 10 stars if I could.

I am a mother of 3 boys. Due to cost, I never planned to put any of my children in preschool. It…read morejust seemed too expensive. My oldest son was fine without preschool and I was able to teach him a lot at home until he went to kindergarten. My middle son, however, was unwilling to learn from me. He has a lot of energy and I felt a preschool would be really good for him. So when we moved to Hendersonville I began researching preschools and narrowed it down to 3 different preschools where I was willing to send my son. Two out of the three schools would not take my son because he was not potty trained and was 3 years old. Discouraged, I called Fran at Creative Beginnings and asked if they had any openings in their 3-year old classroom. When she said they did, I anxiously asked if they accept children who are not potty trained. She said that they sure did. I was surprised and excited. I went straight to the church to pick up a registration packet. Upon meeting my son's teachers at the orientation, I was sure that we had ended up in the right school for us. His teachers are so kind, personable, and they LOVE the kids. They really genuinely love my son. The activities are wonderful. Every month I have a calendar of what they'll be doing each day all the way down to which day they'll be finger painting and working with scissors. My son comes home with projects and new songs all the time. He has blossomed so much this year. The teachers are encouraging and even helped him to potty train with lots of love and encouragement and not just for my son! I needed their love and encouragement too. When he finally started going on the toilet over winter break he insisted on calling his teachers to let them know and they praised him over the phone. Every day my son tells me that Miss Linda and Miss Carolyn love him. And I know that they do too! I cannot say enough positive things about this preschool. I highly highly recommend to anyone!

After moving unexpectedly back to Asheville from Los Angeles, we were in desperate need to get our…read more3 year old into a great preschool. We spent almost a year touring preschools in Los Angeles and then almost another year getting accepted into one of the best ones, which was in extremely high demand. In Asheville, there were fewer options comparatively. We toured several schools that had been highly regarded by different friends but as soon as we went to Roots + Wings School of Art and Design and met Ginger Huebner, the founding director, we were sold. The school was not only the perfect fit for our 3 year old and our family, but after attending a semester, it easily exceeded the ridiculously hard to get into school we were excited to attend in Los Angeles. Roots + Wings is a beautiful blend of creative art driven education with just the right amount of structure, set in a truly wonderful space to learn and grow. Throughout his first semester at Roots and Wings, our son grew so much - emotionally and intellectually. By giving him a comfortable and positive space to explore art and his surroundings, he learned problem solving, interpersonal skills with other children and teachers, and became much more independent. Most importantly, he had a blast doing it all. When we picked him up from school, he was always so excited to show and tell us all the amazing things they'd done that day. The kids created incredible art projects, had animals in the classroom, played music and had plenty of outdoor time. Our teachers were incredible - it's clear that Ginger is very careful when selecting who will be working at her school. The classrooms themselves are also beautiful. Tons of natural light fill every corner, the design and choice of every element in their classroom from the furniture to the wall colors to the flooring is spot on. Roots + Wings feels like a school you'd read about in Sweden (to be fair, the décor at Roots and Wings is Scandinavian modern). Ginger beautifully conceived our end-of-semester celebration, with all the kids artwork and projects elegantly displayed and a sweet and poignant ceremony. Overall we couldn't be happier with Roots + Wings and if you're looking for a creatively stimulating environment with just the right amount of structure for your preschool aged kids, I'm sure you'll love Roots + Wings as well. We can't wait for the next semester to start and for our other kids be old to enough to start attending!!
