Engage Their Minds, Watch Them Grow

Early childhood education provides the foundation for a lifetime of learning and, at Ivybrook Academy Hendersonville, we provide children with the resources and tools they need to thrive today, tomorrow, and long into the future. Our Hendersonville PreSchool takes a progressive educational approach with our half-day programs and encourages children to think critically, create freely, and enjoy learning. Our multi-sensory, discovery-based approach allows their individual uniqueness to shine and helps set them on the path to being confident, compassionate citizens.

Our Hendersonville private PreSchool offers programs for children ages 18 months through 6 years. Each of these programs offers a curriculum that was carefully designed for the age group and focuses on key learning objectives that are critical to growth.

Ivybrook Academy Hendersonville offers the following programs:

Toddler Preschool
Preschool for 2-Year-Olds
Preschool for 3-Year-Olds
Preschool for 4 & 5-Year-Olds

All of our classes are part-day and we offer both morning and afternoon sessions for specific age groups to accommodate the various needs and schedules of families. To ensure a continuous cycle of learning for our students, we offer our academic PreSchool programs during the traditional ten-month school year and theme-based camps during the summer months. Our summer day camps offer various themed adventures and activities for children that are so much fun, they won’t even realize they are learning!

Our Curriculum

Ivybrook Academy was founded by a school teacher who recognized the need to acknowledge and encourage children’s natural curiosity. Early childhood education is crucial for healthy cognitive development and, at our Hendersonville PreSchool, we provide students with the environment, resources, and encouragement they need to thrive. Our curriculum draws from three approaches:

Montessori – This theory recognizes that children have innate preferences and should be given the opportunity to embrace their natural curiosity. Used for more than 100 years in schools, this approach allows children to take the lead in their learning.
Reggio Emilia – This student-led approach is similar to the Montessori method and empowers children to learn at their own pace. This collaborative approach’s foundation is peer interaction, celebrating uniqueness, and respecting children’s voices.
Theory of Multiple Intelligences – This method emphasizes the importance of adapting the curriculum to the specific needs of each child. Since everyone’s mind works differently, each child will learn, understand, and remember in their own way.

At Ivybrook Academy Hendersonville, we will never take a one-size-fits-all approach to early childhood education. We celebrate individuality and customize our lessons so that every student feels supported and empowered.
