Private Half-Day Preschool in South Fayette

Every Child Needs Room to Grow

At Ivybrook Academy South Fayette, children’s voices are valued and their compassion is cultivated. We are a half-day private preschool that takes an innovative approach to early childhood education. Our hybrid curriculum incorporates three popular educational philosophies and encourages critical thinking, inspires creativity, and nurtures a love for learning. 

Our South Lafayette preschool offers the following programs:

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

Each of these programs are half-day formats, which allows enough time for a productive learning experience while not keeping students away from their families for extended periods of time. 

Why Choose Us?

Deciding on a preschool for your child is a very big decision that can have lasting impacts on their future. Our South Fayette private preschool is a great choice for all children because we see the value in celebrating their uniqueness and encouraging individuality. Children have a natural curiosity, and our teachers encourage them to explore the world around them, collaborate with others, and learn in their own way. There is no one-size-fits-all approach at Ivybrook Academy South Fayette. 

Our Hybrid Curriculum

When we designed our curriculum, we decided to pull from several popular approaches so that we could provide our students with the most rewarding experience. Our hybrid curriculum draws from the Montessori and Reggio Emilia methods as well as The Theory of Multiple Intelligences. At our school, children take the lead in their learning, are provided the opportunity to express themselves, and enjoy a curriculum that is catered to their specific needs.

    We were very fortunate to have Ivybrook, and Miss Lynn, with us navigating what was a tough year for our family outside of school. We are amazed at the growth we saw in such a short amount of time and have no doubts that our child is ready to take on Kindergarten.

    We’ve loved ivybrook! Thank you for caring so much for Dominic. I love the parent teacher check ins. I love the pictures. I love all the activities they get to do. He loved painting and crafts and I watched him flourish at ivybrook, despite having multiple teachers throughout the year, he still loves going to school everyday. Couldn’t be happier :)

    I have 3 of my girls at this school. The amount of growth in all three has been enormous, my youngest being 2 with some extra needs, her teachers and staff have bent over backwards to make sure she feels comfortable and has her sensory and emotional needs met. My oldest has had huge social and emotional growth as well. Her teacher being Miss, Valerie is a very special person and is so good at helping each child meet their goals.

    We are beyond thrilled with our first year at Ivybrook! It was incredible to see our child’s growth over the year both socially and academically - he is already asking when he can go back to see his friends! We are so excited to be returning next year.

  • "The journey with Ivybrook has been like a winter to full spring bloom for a 🌷 Tulip. As our little princess stepped out for the first time to the new classroom filled with new friends and teachers, she kept learning and enjoying it. Everyday was a new chapter and step ahead. Members of Ivybrooks are very caring and the smart handling of day to day activities. Kids look forward to go to school and meet teachers ghis it self talk they are in a healthy environment where they are growing as well as learning. They also learned STEM and one to one interactive session with fireman and librarian with books 📚 nartured their mind. Ivybrooks has been always a positive start for the younger kids." - Juliette
