Half-Day Preschool in Estero

"We are so thankful for Ivybrook Academy! We had been searching for a program that fit our family's needs after moving to Estero and were thrilled to hear Ivybrook was opening nearby! Their program offers exactly what we were looking for - a learning environment that fosters social, emotional, and intellectual growth for each student. Their thoughtful curriculum and low student to teacher ratios, allow for meaningful group and individualized instruction tailored to champion the needs and goals of each child. Our boys absolutely love going to school each day and are always excited to tell us about their achievements and what new and exciting things (like seeds sprouting or chicken eggs hatching) are going on in their classrooms. We love that they are continuously challenged; we have found their practical exposure to Spanish, art, science and other enrichment opportunities via their Discovery Program to be invaluable and unique to Ivybrook. Finally, we cannot say enough about Nicolette, James, Crystal, and Lorenzo's teachers (Ms. Lark & Ms. Aleshia) as well as Frankie's (Ms. Deborah and Ms. Karina). The entire staff has been amazing since day one of opening their doors. A school is only as successful as its leaders and we see them pour their hearts and souls into the school day after day. We are truly thankful for such an amazing school!

 

Our family moved to Estero from the City of Chicago in 2022 to be closer to family. Our oldest son, Lorenzo (5) will be graduating from Ivybrook this year. His younger brother, Frankie (3) will be in Pre-K this fall. They're best friends, both sharing a love for animals, art, and music. As a family, we enjoy spending time outside playing sports, visiting the beach, hiking, and observing all of the wonderful wildlife that Southwest Florida has to offer."
