Private Half-Day Preschool in Sarasota

Your Child Deserves the Best Education

Setting your child up for a bright future starts with providing them with a solid foundation for a lifetime of learning. At Ivybrook Academy Sarasota, we take a progressive approach to preschool and are redefining how parents view early childhood education. Unlike other preschools in Sarasota, we don’t believe in taking a one-size-fits-all approach to learning. Our hybrid curriculum pulls from three popular philosophies to provide the most comprehensive and adaptable experience for our students.

Our Sarasota preschool offers the following programs for children ages 18 months through six years:

  • Toddler Preschool
  • Preschool for 2-Year-Olds
  • Preschool for 3-Year-Olds
  • Preschool for 4 & 5-Year-Olds
  • Private Kindergarten

All our programs are half-day sessions that run for 10 months of the year. We also offer our Summer Camp program for the remaining two months. This half-day program is a great way for children to continue their learning experience during the warmer months, yet these sessions are by no means boring! Children will participate in themed activities and outdoor games that will be so much fun, they’ll have no idea they are learning. Contact our Sarasota preschool to learn more about this summer’s themes. 

Our Hybrid Curriculum

To ensure the best outcomes, teachers need to provide a learning environment that is welcoming for all. Ivybrook Academy Sarasota recognizes that every student learns differently and will have various strengths and challenges. That’s why our curriculum pulls from three popular, progressive approaches: Reggio Emilia, Montessori, and The Theory of Multiple Intelligences. Children will be encouraged to take the lead in their learning and explore the world around them, and their uniqueness and individuality will be celebrated.

Choosing a Preschool in Sarasota

One of the biggest choices as a parent is finding the best early childhood education. At Ivybrook Academy Sarasota, we never take a one-size-fits-all approach to your child’s education and instead cater our curriculum to their needs. Every child is different, and we believe that these differences should be celebrated. They also have a natural curiosity for the world around them, so we provide them with the tools and opportunity to make discoveries both inside and outside the classroom.
