Private Half-Day Preschool in Bluffton

Engage Their Minds, Watch Them Grow

At Ivybrook Academy Bluffton, children’s voices are valued and their compassion is cultivated. Supported by the Montessori and Reggio Emilia educational methods, our private half-day preschool in Bluffton takes an individualized approach to early childhood education. Teaching should never take a one-size-fits-all approach, which is why our classrooms inspire creativity, nurture a love of reading, and encourage critical thinking.

Our Bluffton preschool offers the following programs, all of which are half-day sessions:

Toddler Preschool
Preschool for 2-Year-Olds
Preschool for 3-Year-Olds
Preschool for 4 & 5-Year-Olds
Private Kindergarten
Bridge Session

Bridge Session- This program allows PreK and TK students to join us for the morning session, stay with us for lunch, and then join our afternoon session to continue their learnings for an entire school day.

The Ivybrook Approach

In addition to the Montessori and Reggio Emilia approaches, we also pull inspiration from The Theory of Multiple Intelligences. This approach supports adapting preschool curriculum to meet the individual needs of each student. All three teaching approaches are touched upon in our hybrid curriculum and help us provide our students with the most innovative and comprehensive experience.

The Learning Never Stops

The school year may end, but that doesn’t mean learning experiences should go on hiatus. At Ivybrook Academy Bluffton, we offer year-round learning. Our regular preschool programs run for 10 months, and for the two summer months, we offer our part-day camps. This summer program is more than just educational – it’s a lot of fun, too! Designed for children ages two through six, it consists of fun activities, exploration, and exciting themes.

Enriching Your Child’s Foundation

"I recently had the opportunity to visit my granddaughter for an art show at Ivybrook. First stop was her classroom. Everything I saw was obviously there for its education and play value. This was followed by a visit to the art room where I had the opportunity to see her creations up close. As a retired educator (at the college level), I was impressed and thankful that my granddaughter had such a terrific place to start her eduction. The facilities were only topped by the staff and teachers. First Rate!" - PaPa
