I’m Heather Calhoun, and as both a mom and your neighbor here in the Lowcountry, I know how important these early years are. That’s why we’ve brought Ivybrook Academy’s blended Montessori–Reggio approach to our community, a place where your child can grow, create, and discover every day. My passion is helping children build a lifelong love of learning while supporting families in finding a rhythm that works for them.
