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

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

    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!”

    Megan Taylor, Mother of Brooke, Margaux, and David
