Owner's Story

Meet Alicia

Alicia and her family are proud to offer the first Ivybrook Academy in the Pacific Northwest.

As a creative writer and mother of two, Alicia found a deep joy in fostering a love for reading and the arts with her growing children. When they’re not exploring their favorite bookstore or attending a local art fair, they’re writing stories for each other or taping their latest artwork on the kitchen fridge.

Inspired to spread this joy beyond her own family, Alicia sought to open a preschool that nurtures creativity and a lifelong love of learning.

With over a decade of corporate leadership experience, Alicia is thrilled to apply her management skills to a program that truly resonates with her passions. She chose Ivybrook Academy because she believes it offers the industry’s best program—where children not only grow where they’re planted, but truly flourish in a beautifully curated environment where they feel cherished, seen, and inspired every day.
