A preschool experience that honors childhood, supports confidence, and celebrates each child’s pace.

Ivybrook Academy Mount Pleasant

Brighter futures begin at Ivybrook Academy Mount Pleasant, where children find their voices, embrace their individuality, and grow into confident, compassionate young learners. Here, every child is known, heard, and celebrated, because that’s exactly what they deserve.

For our families, preschool is a deeply personal choice, which is why our approach is deeply personal too.

“As a mom of three, I know the decision to send your child to preschool is emotional and meaningful. My hope is that every family who walks through our doors feels known, valued, and excited for what’s ahead.”
— Heather Calhoun, Owner

That belief shapes everything about our campus.

Nestled in the heart of Mount Pleasant, our school blends the warmth of a neighborhood community with the thoughtful, child-centered learning Ivybrook Academy is known for. In our bright classrooms and shaded outdoor spaces, children explore and create at their own pace, building the curiosity and confidence that will guide them long after preschool.

These small daily moments, painting with a friend, caring for classroom materials, sharing a story circle, discovering something new, are what build a childhood they’ll carry with them.

Whether your family has lived in Mount Pleasant for years or you're new to the Lowcountry, we’d love for you to experience what preschool can feel like when children are truly seen.

Come visit us, imagine your child’s first day here, and discover whether Ivybrook Academy Mount Pleasant is the right fit for your family.
