Our family has had a wonderful experience at Tate's School. The teachers invest deeply in their…read morestudents and take the time to understand each child's unique learning style, strengths, and areas for growth. We have seen our children develop not only academically, but also socially and emotionally through the individualized care and attention they receive. Tate's provides a strong academic foundation while encouraging critical thinking and problem-solving, all while instilling a deep love for learning. We also appreciate the emphasis on outdoor time, outdoor learning opportunities, and the variety of specials offered throughout the week, including art, music, PE, computer, and Spanish. These experiences create a balanced and engaging school environment. What truly sets Tate's apart is its people. The teachers, staff, administrators, and Tate family genuinely care about children and their families. From day one, we have felt welcomed, supported, and known. Tate's offers a unique culture and educational experience that is unlike any other school we have encountered, and we are grateful to be part of the community.

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!!
