Dear Ivybrook Families,
Welcome to another wonderful year at Ivybrook Academy Hendersonville! Whether you are joining our Ivybrook family for the very first time or returning for another year of learning and discovery, I am truly delighted to welcome you to our Ivybrook family.
As I begin my seventh school year as School Principal and Head of Operations at Ivybrook Academy Hendersonville, I find myself reflecting on the incredible children, families, and educators who have made this journey so meaningful. It has been such a privilege to watch our school community grow, to celebrate countless milestones, and to see so many little learners blossom into confident, curious, and compassionate individuals.
At Ivybrook, we believe that early childhood is a precious time filled with wonder, imagination, and endless possibilities. Our Montessori and Reggio Emilia-inspired approach encourages children to ask questions, explore their interests, build meaningful relationships, and develop a lifelong love of learning. Above all, we strive to create an environment where every child feels known, valued, loved, and celebrated for exactly who they are.
As we look ahead to this new school year, I am filled with excitement for all that awaits us: new friendships, exciting discoveries, meaningful classroom projects, and those beautiful little moments that make early childhood so special. There is nothing quite like watching a child's confidence grow, seeing their eyes light up with curiosity, or celebrating a milestone they have worked so hard to achieve.
To our returning families, thank you for your continued trust and partnership. To our new families, we are so happy you are here and cannot wait to get to know you. Your children are at the heart of everything we do, and it is an honor to share these important early years with you.
My door is always open, and I encourage you to reach out with questions, ideas, or simply to say hello. Together, we will make this school year one filled with joy, connection, discovery, and wonderful memories.
Here's to another beautiful year of growing together!
With love and gratitude,
Ms. Anne Hiatt
