Owner's Story

Beth & William Dixon

We are excited to bring Ivybrook Academy to our community.

We grew up in Western Pennsylvania and met in college. We have been married for more than 25 years and are blessed with two amazing children. As parents, we understand what it’s like to go to great lengths for our children. We helped to guide and support them through preschool, private school, public school and eventually college. We know what it’s like to juggle work and busy schedules with active children. We share this with you to let you know that we also traveled that path and “we get it” as parents who always want the best for their children.

Beth earned her Bachelor’s degree in Education with an emphasis in Early Childhood Education and earned her Director’s Core Certificate from Penn State University. She has spent more than 20 years advocating for children through her roles as a Teacher, Center Director, and through her work with government agencies. As a leader in education, she is passionate about ensuring positive experiences and academic growth for every child, facilitated through the encouragement, guidance and support of her team.

In her role as Owner/Principal, Beth looks forward to welcoming you to Ivybrook Academy Greensboro. She is ecstatic about the experiences your children will gain through the Montessori and Reggio Emelia inspired approaches to learning. Together, we are excited to bring the highest quality of preschool education to families in the Triad.

Testimonials

"We were committed to Ivybrook Academy preschool placement initially based on the strong academic curriculum. There was clear and timely communication from the tour on; the facility was clean, organized, safe, and expertly directed; and every minute of our daughter’s time there since enrollment has been intentional value add. What we came to appreciate just as much as the well-executed academics were the social experiences from peers and the mentorship from all educators there. The teachers’ complimentary styles created a warm, structured, and effective learning environment. We received weekly goals and home program ideas for carryover. There were ample opportunities for parent involvement and the parent-teacher conference offered valuable feedback into our daughter’s areas of strength and need with constructive ways to achieve at home. It was clear the teachers were invested in not only her studies but also growth and comfort in social settings. Our daughter’s favorite thing about school is that she, “loves her teachers,” and we couldn’t be happier that she carries their impressions forward throughout her academic journey."

“We were committed to Ivybrook Academy preschool placement initially based on the strong academic curriculum”

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Ivybrook academy. From the moment our daughter started, she settled in beautifully and now eagerly looks forward to attending each day. She constantly talks about how much she loves the teachers, who are all incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children’s growth. The program is excellently structured, offering a perfect balance of fun and learning. It’s clear they’ve put a lot of thought into preparing the children for their first steps into a more formal schooling experience. In just a short time, we’ve seen a remarkable improvement in her language and social skills, and she’s really been able to harness her creativity through the activities they offer. The school is well-organized and always responsive to any questions or concerns, which as parents, we deeply appreciate. Special mention goes to Mrs. Dixon—her enthusiasm and passion for teaching really shine through. You can see the positive impact she has on the kids, especially with how excited and happy our daughter is when she talks about her. We are thrilled to be part of such a supportive and enriching program, and we’re looking forward to the continued growth our child will experience here.”
