An experiential, inspirational preschool where teachers, parents and children can learn from each other and their community to create a better world around them.

“The Playschool is an incredible environment for young kids. It’s not just any preschool....it is hands down the best of the best. If you are seeking a place where your child will be loved, cared for, supported, and challenged to be the best they can be, look no further. Louise, Erin and Samantha are absolutely wonderful... and their loving, creative spirits are still talked about in our home. The Playschool gave my child so much more than I ever expected was possible and I am forever grateful.”

- Allison Chapman LCSW

"Magic happens at West Asheville Playschool! They help our little ones become good stewards for the Earth as well as loving, positive members of their community, and it all comes in the form of joy-filled days at Playschool. Our kids have absolutely thrived here."

-Kim & Zeb Fuller, 5 year Playschool parents

Playschool has brought a sense of whimsy and wonder to all my family’s lives. They encourage young one’s imagination to bloom and embrace the freedoms of childhood, all while creating a structured and guided environment that works well for everyone. Transitioning from pre-K to kindergarten felt natural and easy after their time at the Playschool, we just wish we could have stayed longer!
