AsheBridge Children's Academy is a family-owned preschool community where children are enriched by caring relationships, strong friendships, and a creative environment with locations in Apex, NC and Fuquay-Varina, NC. In order to meet all of your child care needs, we offer full and part-time childcare, quality curriculum, caring staff and a strong devotion to quality early childhood education.
Our centers have received Eco-Healthy Child Care certification! This is a national program that ensures child care settings are as happy, healthy, safe and green as possible by reducing children's exposure to toxins. Research increasingly shows that the first years of a child's life are critical to shaping their future health and development.
Our space is designed to be a safe, warm, and caring environment in which your baby can explore and flourish. Your baby is safe and secure as they awaken to the world around them. Storytime to assist in language development, foster listening skills, and an early love for books. Our team takes care of your child, your family, and each other.
Children are encouraged to be kind, courteous, and respectful, and teachers provide plenty of emotional support during this ongoing process. Toddlers are only just beginning to become aware of themselves and are learning how to treat each other. We strike a healthy balance between both teacher-led, planned activities, and allowing your child's interests to guide their play.
At this age of big emotions and developmental changes, building a sense of trust is key. Our hands-on approach to learning gives children and teachers the chance to bond and develop trust-filled relationships, in which everyone feels valued. Maintaining a safe and nurturing environment is our priority.

For anyone looking for a great place for their child to grow and thrive, AsheBridge Children's Academy is the place to be. My daughter has been at the Fuquay location for over a year, and she has been so loved and taken care of. Once again AsheBridge has risen to go above and beyond to help my daughter. Our new director Rachael has been phenomenal. My daughter recently was having some acid reflux trouble. Once I started talking to Ms. Rachael about our situation, without missing a beat, she went to work on helping us to solve our problem. The owners were very understanding to our situation, and

Our son has been attending AsheBridge in Fuquay full-time since he was 3 months old. We interviewed several places before we chose Ashebridge in FV and by far, it was the cleanest, most organized, and welcoming place we visited. We could not imagine him attending school anywhere else! He is now 21 months old and always happy when we drop him off and happy when we pick him up. Not only do we feel good about leaving our son with the teachers and staff, we witness how nurturing everyone is on a daily basis. The director Jaime treats our son like he is her own! I love that Ashebridge utilizes an app

My son is thriving at Ashebridge in Fuquay. I absolutely love the staff and the curriculum. At 3 years old he can tell you about gardening, the life cycle of a butterfly, and which planet has rings around it. His teachers have been a great support during potty training, and they even get my son to eat vegetables!

Both of my boys have attended or so attend AsheBridge Children’s Academy in Fuquay-Varina. My oldest son, who’s now in first great was loved on and prepared so well for Kindergarten...the transition was a dream. My almost 2 year old has been there for about 1 year now...and we wouldn’t think of sending him anywhere else. The school is clean, well maintained, and fun! Jamie who directs the FV location is THE BEST! The teachers are great and really love the kids. It’s not just a daycare...it’s like an extension of our family!

We love all of the teachers, the facility is well maintained and clean and we have no doubt in our minds that our girls are well taken care of when they are there! Highly recommended!

I went to AsheBridge in June 2018 to enroll my son. The costs, as a private school, are higher than average but I was willing to pay this. Our tour was very brief and I was not introduced to the teachers or told much about the daily schedules. Still, I was in a rush to find childcare for my son, so I asked them about his egg allergy. He is allergic to eggs, it's a medical condition and I can provide proof of this. Well, here's where things went awry. The woman got squeamish and was like "ohhh, I don't know what we would do then, I'm not sure how we could help him"

I remember last year when I first moved to the Holly Springs/ Fuquay area. I searched preschool after preschool and no one could accommodate me. I would go to one and then another. I called Ashbrigde Children’s Academy of Fuquay and they helped me right away. They had space for my precious 4 year old. Not only did they have the capacity to accommodate us I loved the curriculum implemented also. The staff is so nice and professional. I highly recommend Ashbridge Children’s Academy of Fuquay to anyone who’s looking for quality care for their child and solid preparation for grade school.

I am so thankful for Ashebridge. They are absolutely amazing with my daughter. The school has some of the most friendly teachers who really get to know the children. They always greet them and that just makes everyone feel so special. My daughter loves class time and has learned so much!! I love that she comes home singing the cute and funny songs learned at school. They are not only amazing with the children but they really cater to parents schedule. I have had a change of schedule and needed a different day to bring my daughter and the school was easily able to accommodate our needs. It really

Ever since my daughter has been going there her social skills and her speech have greatly improved. I would highly recommend Ashebridge Children's Academy to anybody!

First of all this location has been ashbridge since the beginning. It was never run with a different name. My child has attended we have been beyond happy with his experiences. He started kindergarten with all the learning and social skills he needed for school and more. There is no better place for your child and the best place to work. I have worked at both centers in fuquay and apex. The fuquay center is new and clean and the best it gets. The apex center is getting fixed up so it can be pretty.
The other 1 star review is about another location all together nothing to do with fuquay at all

I honestly could not be happier! My 4 year old is very well loved and she is learning so much. My daughter's teachers are fantastic and have laid the foundation for my daughter's education. Early Childhood education is so very important. Being an educator I have very high expectations! AsheBridge has met all my high expectations. The owners are also very much part of my daughter's day. They foster a strong and positive learning environment!

My daughter started at Ashebridge last March once I returned to work full time. She had been home with me full time so this was her first daycare/preschool experience. Touring and viewing the schools in the area was a long process but I was immediately comforted and felt at "home" when we toured Ashebridge. Christine (owner) is always pleasant and her interactions with her staff show that she truly cares for their wellbeing and interests. The teachers are always smiling and welcoming and I enjoyed observing them interact and comfort my daughter from day one. Her very first teachers Ms. Jamie and

Ashbridge is more than just a daycare. It's an institution where my child is actively learning every single day. It is obvious that Jeff and Christine run a tight ship and have the highest of expectations. There is no facility I have visited that is cleaner or more organized. I feel 100% secure that my child is safe with the teachers employed there. I look forward to my second child joining AsheBridge by the end of the year.

I absolutely LOVE this place! Unlike many Childcares, AsheBridge actually does educational activities. The owners are very welcoming and easy to approach. My daughter was at another daycare in the area and I see such a huge difference between the two places. AsheBridge is very hands on and focused on working with the children to make sure they are having fun and learning at the same time. The place is always clean too, you can tell they take pride in their place. I feel very comfortable leaving my baby there. If you want a great place for your kid(s), I wouldn't even bother looking anywhere else
