Engage Their Minds, Watch Them Grow

Welcome to Ivybrook Academy Julington Creek, where we take an innovative approach to early childhood education with a curriculum that is customized to meet the unique needs of every child. Founded by a school teacher who wanted to address the growing need for preschools that value children’s natural curiosity, we provide the tools and encouragement to help children thrive today, tomorrow, and long into the future.

Our Julington Creek private Preschool provides solid foundations for a lifetime of learning. Our multi-sensory, discovery-based approach encourages critical thinking, nurtures creativity, and fosters a love for learning. We offer our part-day academic Preschool programs during the traditional ten-month school year and offer our part-day camp programs in the summer for kids to have fun, stay engaged, and be better prepared for the next school year ahead. To learn more about Ivybrook Academy Julington Creek, call to schedule a private tour of our campus!

Your Child’s Future Starts Here

Ivybrook Academy Julington Creek offers programs for children ages 18 months through 6 years. The curriculum for each program is designed to meet the various needs of children in the age group. Our programs include the following:

Toddler Preschool– This program provides toddlers with a safe and nurturing environment where they will be able to express themselves in a variety of ways. Our multifaceted curriculum is presented through developmentally appropriate activities that include art, movement, language arts, and math.
Preschool for 2-Year-Olds– To meet the unique needs of each learner at this important age stage, we break this program into younger and older 2-year-olds. These classrooms will support intellectual and social development with relationship-building activities.
Preschool for 3-Year-Olds– In this program, students will begin to critically think about and explore the world around them and our educators will identify each student’s unique learning style. Students will also practice practical life skills, like wiping, pouring, and sorting.
Preschool for 4 & 5-Year-Olds – This pre-kindergarten program assesses students’ foundational skills and identifies areas of growth to nurture. Students are also exposed to concentrated learning experiences including reading readiness and problem-solving.
Private Kindergarten– Students will be introduced to the fundamentals of math, science, reading, writing, and social studies, as well as small group work.
Summer Camp– Just because the school year ends doesn’t mean children stop learning. Our Summer Camp program offers fun themed activities and adventures. Through these hands-on sensory-rich experiences, children will have such a great time, they’ll have no idea they are learning! Contact us at (904) 467-8865 to learn about this year’s summer program.

Our Julington Creek private Preschool draws from three popular educational philosophies: Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and the Theory of Multiple Intelligences. This hybrid educational approach allows children to learn in their own way and grow at their own pace. We provide a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment where they can thrive.
