🌿 Family Spotlight 🌿 Meet the Hittle family from our Dublin campus! Our son, Elliott, has been attending Ivybrook since 2021. He started in the Older Two’s Class, then the Three’s class, and is now in TK. When searching for a preschool, we were most importantly looking for a place that felt safe and caring and that is exactly what we found at Ivybrook, along with so much more. From our first tour, and every day since, Elliott has been welcomed excitedly and with open arms. Ivybrook is definitely one of his favorite places and he is excited to be there each day. He loves creating unique art, learning Spanish, and practicing yoga in Discovery and comes home eager to talk about the weekly Reggio project and all he has learned that day with his friends. There’s so much to love about Ivybrook, but truly the best part is the teachers. Ivybrook’s teachers are so caring, supportive and committed to helping kids grow and learn each day.

Class is in session for the 2024-25 school year! It's another bright start for students at each of our campuses with a year of exploration, fun, and learning ahead. It's not too late to enroll. Find a campus near you: ivybrookacademy.com

Our educational philosophy blends the Montessori and Reggio Emilia approaches, both of which honor the child’s natural curiosity and potential. In our classrooms, the Montessori method fosters independence and hands-on learning, allowing children to explore at their own pace. Meanwhile, the Reggio Emilia approach emphasizes creativity, collaboration, and learning through exploration. In addition, our approach is enriched by Howard Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences. By integrating this perspective, we tailor our activities to engage various types of intelligences, such as linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, musical, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic. Together, these methods create a dynamic, child-centered environment where young minds can thrive. Ready to take the first steps toward franchise ownership?

Part of our philosophy is to ensure students have individualized attention. To do this, we keep our class sizes small, helping each student to feel valued as an important part of our school community. Our teacher-to-student ratio ranges from 1:4 for toddler classes to 1:10 for Pre-K and transitional kindergarten.

The 2024 Ivybrook Franchise Conference focused on Commitment to Excellence. To us, striving for the highest standard starts with learning from others and their experiences. Each year, we're able to do this in person with all of our campus owners in order to learn and grow while taking moments to relax and have fun.

For Franchise Appreciation Day, it's only fitting to recognize and honor the people who make Ivybrook Academy what it is today and what it will be in the future, our franchise owners. Ivybrook has always been passionate about gravitating toward those who have different experiences. Not only does that make for an interesting and diverse company, it leads to a more powerful team. Since the first Ivybrook Academy preschool opened in 2007, our brand has expanded across the nation and has made an impact on countless families and communities. A heartfelt thank you to every person who made this possible.

🌿 Family Spotlight 🌿 Meet the Finkenaur family from our Holly Springs campus! "We chose Ivybrook because we wanted a Montessori-based education for our child. The fact that Ivybrook molds their curriculum to fit each student’s individual skill levels was a huge factor in our decision. We are so happy with our choice and feel that our child has really blossomed and flourished here. The moment we were truly solidified in our decision in sending our child to Ivybrook was when he began to really come out of his shell and gained confidence not only socially, but in his learning ability as well. It’s amazing to see your child develop and grow so much in such a short amount of time. The teachers and administrators here are truly exceptional and really take the time to get to know both students and their families, which is a great quality our family values in a school. Our child loves going to school everyday and has really developed a love of learning, which as a parent is all you can ask for!"
