What is the Academy at Biltmore Church?

The Academy at Biltmore Church is a Monday – Friday full-time child care facility located at our Arden Campus. Our desire is to provide a safe place for children (infants through pre-K) to learn, socialize and develop in a Gospel-centered environment.

Why a daycare?

We are a church for Western North Carolina, and we believe that meeting our area's needs allows us to better share the Gospel with every person that calls WNC home. Unfortunately, our region has faced substantial staffing shortages after the pandemic. While not unique to our area, the shortages can be particularly impactful in economies like ours that are heavily based on tourism and services. A recent local study found that the number one reason for staffing shortages was the severe lack of affordable childcare centers.

We also believe in providing safe environments with a Gospel-centered curriculum will allow even more opportunities for us to disciple the next generation toward a God who loves them.

This allows us to disciple even more kids and be better stewards of our facilities. All of this happens while we meet the needs of our community that we are proud to call home.
