"How can I explain just how wonderful Ivybrook Acadamy is in one paragraph? There truly is no place like it. I heard about Ivybrook from some neighbors who were constantly singing its praises. We took a tour with Priya in January of 2022 with the intention of starting our then 4 year old son, Redmond, the following school year. However, after seeing how much our son loved the school and the kids, we signed him up immediately. What attracted me to Ivybrook was the emphasis the teachers place on nurturing a child's love of learning. It's not about memorizing the ABCs or counting to 100, but rather fostering a lifelong love of learning that enriches a child's life and ignites his or her curiosity. Another bonus for me was Ivybrook's afternoon half-day option. I have a daughter in first grade and having Redmond attend the afternoon half-day option means I get the opportunity to have one-on-one time with both of my kids every day. We feel like we've hit the lottery to have found a place where our son is not only loved and cared for by the incredible teachers, but is also gaining a solid foundation as he starts Kindergarten next year. Ivybrook places such a great emphasis on community and relationship building, which has fostered such nurturing and long-lasting friendships for not only Redmond but for our family as well. Redmond comes home every day talking about what he's made or built with his best buds and goes to bed every night talking about what he can't wait to do tomorrow at school with his friends." - Hannah Gardner

"Ivybrook Academy has been such a blessing for our family. We couldn't be happier to be a part of the Ivybrook community. As a parent, you want the absolute best for your child and for someone to love on your child when they are in a setting other than at home. This is the place! They love on our boys so well that I don't feel worried when they aren't with us. We don't have to worry. As an educator, I also see how well they are teaching my boys. They are being pushed academically and absolutely love learning at Ivybrook. When I went to visit this amazing school back in 2021, I was blown away! I honestly wanted to attend myself. I was a little disappointed that there weren't any morning spots available at the time- but that has been the BEST thing for us. We took one of their afternoon availabilities and couldn't be happier. We love the class size and it's great for our family' schedule. My only hope now is they expand and start offering kindergarten. We absolutely love Ivybrook!" - Meghan Foster
