At Ivybrook Academy, we celebrate each child's unique capabilities through our engaging curriculum. Our innovative approach empowers children to explore, discover, and learn in a supportive environment, fostering a lifelong love of learning.
Our thoughtfully designed classrooms provide a warm and inviting environment that stimulates creativity and exploration, tailored to foster growth in every child.
We integrate the best practices from Reggio Emilia and Montessori approaches into a unique half-day curriculum that meets each child’s needs and interests.
Our individualized learning pathways ensure that every child receives the support they need to flourish academically and socially, respecting their unique learning styles.
Our curriculum is designed not only for kindergarten readiness but also to equip children with the skills needed to navigate and lead in the world of tomorrow.
As parents of three young daughters, we know how precious the early years are. These are the moments when curiosity blooms, confidence takes root, and a child’s sense of self begins to grow. For our family, this season has been filled with wonder, learning, and connection.
As we open the doors to Ivybrook Academy Solon, our goal is to build a nurturing, academically rich, and joyful space where families in our community feel truly welcomed. We look forward to partnering with you in your child’s early learning journey.

“As we begin this new chapter as directors of Ivybrook Academy Solon, we are deeply grateful for the strong foundation that our time spent at the Mandel JCC has provided in shaping both our professional and personal journeys,” the statement said. “Serving at the Mandel JCC deepened our passion for early childhood care and education and helped us grow as leaders, especially due to the great mentors and colleagues we had along the way.”
We are so excited to welcome our two full-time administrators (with a combined 30 years of experience) Liza Adams and Jackie Gordon. They come to Ivybrook Academy from the early childhood leadership team at the Mandel Jewish Community Center in Beachwood.
"There were so many moments, even in the small amount of time that our son spent at the school, that I deeply valued. It meant so much to me to see how kind, patient, and thoughtful every single teacher was in their interactions with him.
But what really blew me away was that Miss Jackie had ordered a special car toy just for him and had it ready by his next class! That was so above and beyond anything that I could have expected that I couldn't even find the words to express how touched I was.
And it has the desired effect - he immediately sat down to play with it, and it became his "safe space" in the classroom. I also really appreciated the effort the teachers put into trying to communicate with him in his language.
I was also surprised that he recognized and was excited to see Vik (and wanted him to come out when he was in the lobby), since he wasn't even one of his teachers. It really goes to show that every single adult in the building is always making an effort to make the children feel comfortable."
