A Preschool Experience Tailored to Each Child

At Ivybrook Academy, we know that every child is unique. That’s why we provide an emergent curriculum, where learning evolves from careful observations of the children. This approach allows us to design experiences and topics of study that are tailored to each child’s interests and developmental needs. Whether your child is exploring the world through hands-on activities, engaging in social interactions with peers, or diving deep into creative projects, our curriculum supports their individual growth.

Our goal is to foster curiosity and excitement for learning. From the moment your child steps into our classrooms, they are encouraged to explore, ask questions, and discover the world around them. The physical environment at Ivybrook Academy is thoughtfully designed to be a rich resource for exploration, inquiry, and creativity. Children learn best when they are active participants in their own education, and we provide the resources and support necessary for them to thrive.

The Ivybrook Academy Approach

We believe that children deserve an educational experience that not only focuses on academics but also nurtures their personal growth. That’s why our curriculum draws from several proven approaches to create a balanced and dynamic learning environment:

• Montessori: Our Montessori-based methods encourage self-direction, helping children make responsible choices and become independent thinkers.
• Reggio Emilia: A child-led approach that uses observations to create personalized learning plans, allowing children to guide their own educational journeys.
• Collaborative Learning: Small group activities foster collaboration and teamwork, teaching children valuable social skills.
• Discovery Program: This program focuses on creative expression, library studies, and music and movement, encouraging well-rounded development.

• Toddler Preschool: Early development and socialization for our youngest learners.
• Preschool for 2-Year-Olds: A curriculum designed to introduce foundational skills and encourage exploration.
