Preschool Leadership
Our preschool is Odyssey’s leading program in sweet, nurturing spirit. Their class offers a Friday Morning Market each week on campus and participates in Asheville city-wide and Montford neighborhood festivals throughout the year. Students are leaders in their every day routine with classroom jobs and extend this leadership to the greater community through their garden program.
3.5, 4, and 5 year olds tend the soil, seed, and water plant starts that later become the seedlings for sale at the market! In addition, Director Courtney Fincher leads her class through the cultivation and harvest of Holy Basil tea, another Odyssey product for sale to the community. All sales from this project are used to support programs in their classroom and to support our Odyssey family.
