Our Mission
Helping Children Succeed
We are a non-profit agency in Asheville that provides a cradle to career continuum of services for over 400 children and youth annually. This includes our 5-Star Child Development Center (child care, pre-k, afterschool, and summer camp), Residential mental health programs, Foster Care services, Respite Services and Workforce-Ready housing assistance. Established in 1903, we have been helping children succeed for 120 years.
There’s no mistaking why Eliada has been in our community for over 119 years.
It’s because of you.
Over the years we’ve evolved to meet the needs of our community. Today, we exist because as a community we collectively agree that every child and family deserves the support, resources and opportunities they need to thrive. Together, we help children have a healthy start, recover from trauma, and build skills that last a lifetime.
