Brittnie Holt
Director of Admissions
Brittnie Holt is the Director of Admissions at Ivybrook Academy Riverton, bringing over 18 years of experience in childcare and early education. She has worked with children from infancy through school age and has held a variety of roles, from classroom assistant to program leader. Her passion for early learning is rooted in creating nurturing, engaging environments where children can grow, explore, and develop a lifelong love of learning.
Brittnie also has experience as a special education educator. This background has strengthened her belief that every child benefits from a supportive, thoughtfully prepared environment that encourages independence, curiosity, and confidence. She is currently completing her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and plans to continue her education by pursuing a Master’s degree in Early Childhood Education.
Originally from San Jose, California, Brittnie moved to Utah with her family in 2019. She is a proud mother of three: Lailah (12), Brody (10), and Madalynn “Madi” (3). As both an educator and a parent, she understands how important it is to find a preschool you truly trust. When her older children were young, they attended the school where she worked so she could keep them close in a place she believed in. When it came time to find the right preschool for her youngest, she faced the same challenge many families do until she discovered Ivybrook Academy.
Brittnie was immediately drawn to Ivybrook’s thoughtful blend of Reggio Emilia and Montessori philosophies. She believes this balanced, child-centered approach allows children to learn at their own pace while building independence, creativity, and confidence. Her experience inspired her not only to enroll her daughter but also to help bring this unique preschool experience to families in the Utah community.
As Director of Admissions, Brittnie is committed to creating a warm, welcoming, and collaborative environment where families feel connected and supported. She is passionate about helping each child build a strong foundation during these important early years and ensuring families feel confident in their preschool choice.
Outside of school, Brittnie enjoys spending time with her family and friends, exploring new restaurants, shops, concerts, and community events. As a dedicated dance mom, she spends many weekends supporting her daughters at competitions. She is also excited to be getting married this November to her fiancé, Chase, her best friend and biggest supporter. Life keeps her busy, and she truly wouldn’t have it any other way.
