Verner East

My child was placed at East after being in their Community Program - the teachers are the epitome of a village in not just education but comprehensive care of children. I loved seeing Administrators, Directors- people with offices spending time teaching and caring for the kids in classrooms, on the playgrounds and in the garden. Everyone is involved. I love my baby walking in and is greeted by name by what seems like everyone in the school. I can’t be grateful enough for the attention and concerns being brought to me about my child’s transition to a new school and any hiccups. If there is no one on the Verner team to address a need, they find one and connect you and follow up. All concerns are valid and I’ve never experienced pushback when I have concerns. I looked up the facility prior to enrolling my son and one thing I appreciated is the accountability. State citations/incidents were self reported by Verner themselves. I truly feel my child is well cared for and there is nothing more I can ask for than the support of their development into a happy healthy tiny human. Thank you!

Not a safe place for childcare. Wrong kids being picked up by parent. Numerous accidents. Never again!

One star for the hard-working teachers who literally carry this place on their back. But don’t think for a second that you can trust the administration to act in anyone’s best interest other than their own. They all have a raging white savior complex and will do anything to hide the skeletons in their closet. Highly recommend taking your money elsewhere.

My first child care experience here was absolutely terrible. Director hung up in my face when asked why my child who did very well at his play date was denied. After being highly recommended by his therapist I was informed they could not meet his behavior needs of not knowing how to share due to not being in a setting of having to share and screaming when mad highly upset this is how my very first day care experience went

One of the best childcare centers in the Asheville area, even more so now that AB Tech's five-star center closed down. They have some of the best and most knowledgeable staff, fantastic grounds and facilities, and they're in a very nice location. Only downside is the rather lengthy waiting list so plan ahead, and they tend to allow a lot of "string pulling" to bump waitlisted children.
