☀️ Weekly themes built around STEAM, literacy, global culture, and outdoor exploration to balance excitement with meaningful educational experiences.

☀️ Every lesson and activity is tailored to meet the developmental needs of each age group

☀️ Real friendships, real outdoor time, and a routine that prevents the summer slide

Summer is starting! Don't miss an unforgettable summer of discovery, creativity, and hands-on fun.

When parents think about kindergarten readiness, they often think about letters, numbers, and early literacy skills. While those skills certainly matter, research consistently shows that social-emotional development is equally predictive of long-term academic success.

At Ivybrook Academy, social-emotional learning is not a separate subject on the schedule. It's in everything we do. Group projects, collaborative play, and guided conflict resolution all give children daily practice in empathy, self-regulation, and communication.

By the time our students leave Ivybrook, they are academically and emotionally prepared for what comes next.

Sometimes you just need a hug from your friend!

✨Family Spotlight: The Lewis Family✨

"As someone who never went to any sort of daycare myself, I had a lot of reservations about putting my daughter in one. As a mom I would always wonder: Will she like it there? Will the teachers be good to her? Will she make friends? Will she handle us being separated from me well? Will I handle being separated from her well?

I won’t lie to you, there was a transition period where we both had to learn how not to be together all of the time, and the staff was integral to that happening. Going to Ivybrook has turned out to be the best experience for her. She’s always excited to see her teachers in the mornings, is socializing with other kids well, and is always surprising me with things I didn’t know she knew. Teachers and staff know everyone’s name, and they’re always willing to go the extra mile if you need it.

After looking for childcare options for quite some time I stumbled onto Ivybrook by accident, and I can say with 100% honesty it is one of my best accidents to date."
