About the Dual Enrollment Program

Our Dual Enrollment Program might be the right fit for some of our young learners and their families. Use this information as a starting point, and then schedule a private tour with your local campus to talk with our caring teams to find the best fit for YOUR family.

The Dual Enrollment program is perfect for families seeking additional learning opportunities without the structure of full-day daycare. Students enrolled in both sessions experience a thoughtfully balanced day filled with discovery, collaboration, and creativity. Each session offers new, engaging activities to ensure children stay inspired and excited to learn.

  • Morning Session: 8:30 AM – 12:00 PM

  • Lunch Break: Families provide lunch; students enjoy time to recharge.

  • Afternoon Session: 1:00 PM – 4:30 PM

(Hours and program structure may vary by campus. Please check with your local campus.)

Children will work on different individualized learning objectives in the afternoon than they do in the morning, maintaining a balanced academic experience across literacy, math, and project-based work.

  • Curriculum-Based: Focused on achieving a variety of learning goals — not babysitting or childcare.

  • No Repetition: Morning and afternoon activities are complementary but different to keep engagement high.

  • Social and Academic Growth: Project-based learning fosters collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking.

  • Respect for Development: We maintain the half-day philosophy of respecting young learners’ attention spans and developmental needs — no long hours, no nap times required.

Parents appreciate the additional learning time paired with Ivybrook’s signature nurturing environment. Students thrive with more opportunities for exploration, hands-on projects, and individualized attention.
