IVYBROOK ACADEMY 

Half-Day Progressive Preschool

WE ARE

IVYBROOK ACADEMY

 

We believe children are individuals whose strengths and gifts should be valued and nurtured. Children should be active participants in their learning and their natural curiosity cultivated. This is best achieved through a hands-on, discovery-based approach to learning. We believe that this approach provides children with the flexibility to research, inquire about, and reflect on the world around them. View Curriculum

SCHOOL CLOSED

 

SEPTEMBER 17, 2018
Weddington, Fort Mill, & Myers Park Locations

 

As we have been keeping a close watch over the development of Hurricane Florence, utilizing information from the National Weather Service along with State and local authorities, we have been advised of the dangerous flooding that will affect our community tomorrow. There is great potential for these wind gusts to put our children’s safety in danger to and from school. The safety of all our students and families is our number one concern. With this in mind, Ivybrook Academy will be closed tomorrow, Monday, September 17, 2018.

 

We look forward to seeing all of our students smiling faces under the sunny skies on Tuesday!

Our Mission

Ivybrook Academy provides a progressive approach to early childhood education, which values students’ individual voices within our vibrant community and cultivates compassionate citizens who find joy in learning.

Testimonials

  • "We cannot think of a more superior group of individuals to have entrusted the development of our child. It has been a privilege for Christian to attend Ivybrook Academy. It has been an honor getting to know all of you.”

    Pam and Brian Shetron, Parents of Christian

  • "... I cannot say enough kind words about Ivybrook Academy. It’s not just a “good” program. I don’t just “like” it. I am so pleased with all that I have seen both inside and outside of the classroom walls. All aspects of development are addressed, and there are so many ways the children’s education is enriched with supplemental activities."

    Jennifer Wagner, Mother of Natalie

  • "We came in with some anxiety and uncertainty and were welcomed with a level of support, kindness, and professionalism that I’m quite certain is unmatched by any other preschool. This is a special place, and we could never have dreamed of a more wonderful, actually perfect, introduction for Natalie to begin her school year...”

    Eden and Bob Bozza, Parents of Natalie

  • “As a traveling speech pathologist... the one school that I am most impressed with is Ivybrook Academy. What is truly impressive regards the consistency of the entire Ivybrook Academy staff’s positive attitude and character towards the students, parents and other professionals who collaborate with them...”

    Liz Weaver, Speech Therapist

  • “As a professional in the public schools (and more importantly a mother of young children), I am truly impressed with the directors and teachers at Ivybrook Academy. The environment is so welcoming to the students and the parents, and there is a wonderful sense of family and community..."

    Michele Argo; School Psychologist and mother of Nate and Eva

  • "“So in a word, would I recommend Ivybrook to my friends? Absolutely!... I can never say enough wonderful things about the staff as a whole and for all they have done for my children. The staff is a constant reminder to me as a parent that learning and growing is a fun experience and should be enjoyed and loved at all times.”

    Jennifer and Aaron Miller, Parents of Ethan and Ally

  • “I wanted you to know – one day Anna told me, “My teachers love me”. I think this is amazing! To make a place where kids learn and feel so safe and happy that they say the teachers love them…surely this is an extraordinary accomplishment!”

    Rob and Julie Muller, Parents of Anna

  • “I am impressed with the curriculum and hands-on experiences the children get to enjoy. Also, the parent-teacher communications are excellent and frequent. We are greeted by name with smiles each and every day making us feel, selfishly, like we are their only family!”
