The Children's Center

Welcome to

A Five Star Child Enrichment Facility in WNC

About Us

The Children's Center, established in 1977, is a 5-star, nonprofit early education and child enrichment program serving children ages one through five. We are committed to fostering an inclusive, playful, and nurturing environment where children can learn and grow together in an atmosphere of acceptance.

 

We achieve this through meaningful relationships, highly trained staff, lower teacher-child ratios, and our state-approved curriculum. Under our guidance, children develop strong inter-personal skills, including self-confidence, acceptance, empathy,  and communication. We encourage children to relate and interact with their peers through play and daily classroom routines.
