Our child attended Ivybrook Academy Dublin from the Twos program all the way through Transitional Kindergarten, and we couldn’t have asked for a better first school experience. From day one, the environment has been warm, safe, and welcoming — giving us peace of mind as parents.

Ivybrook strikes a perfect balance between academic focus and playful exploration. Their approach to learning through play, hands-on experiments, and creative activities has sparked our child’s curiosity and love for learning. It’s clear that the curriculum is thoughtfully designed.

The educators are without a doubt the most hard working in the industry and fit so many lessons into the daily program. Each one has been incredibly caring, patient, and enthusiastic about what they do. Our child looked forward to going to school every day, which speaks volumes about the atmosphere the teachers create in the classroom. From readers and writers workshop to Discovery (art, yoga, Spanish, music) the daily enrichment is also impressive.

Additionally, the Principal, Asst. Principal and the owner are extremely responsive and communicative. Whether it was a quick question or a concern, we always received prompt and thoughtful responses. Their commitment to partnering with parents and making it a safe learning environment is something we really appreciated.

Another difference between Ivybrook and other early childhood programs is the community. We’ve met other families that will surely be lifelong friends through school events and parent engagement in activities like Young Authors Day, the annual art show and park events.

We’re so grateful for the foundation Ivybrook Dublin has provided our child and would highly recommend it to any family looking for a nurturing, engaging, and academically enriching early childhood education experience.
