Jeff and Carolyn Lott's journey with Ivybrook Academy is deeply personal.
"As parents, we understand the importance of finding a preschool that not only meets educational standards but also respects and nurtures each child's unique potential. Ivybrook Academy's innovative approach to early childhood education through the best of Montessori & Reggio Emelia aligns perfectly with our belief that every child deserves a learning environment that encourages exploration, creativity, and growth.
We are committed to creating a warm, welcoming community where families feel supported and children can thrive. Our dedicated team of educators is passionate about providing a high-quality education that lays a strong foundation for lifelong learning."
We are the Stiltner family! We moved to Florida from Ocean City, Maryland seven years ago and love spending time outdoors, especially at the beach where surfing is a favorite. Our son, Owen, is part of the TV Production Academy at Nease High School, and we enjoy the convenience of having both kids’ schools less than a mile apart. Sophia attends Ivybrook in the afternoons, which gives us relaxed mornings and an easy drive without traffic. She truly loves her teachers, learning, and has had wonderful experiences at both Ivybrook locations. We are so grateful to be part of such a welcoming school community!
We are an approved Florida VPK provider. This state-funded program prepares 4- and 5-year-olds for kindergarten with a strong foundation in literacy, problem-solving, and social skills.
Ivybrook Academy is an approved provider for Step Up For Students scholarships, including the Family Empowerment Scholarship for Educational Options (FES-EO) and the Unique Abilities (UA) scholarship. These scholarships provide financial assistance to eligible families, helping make a high-quality private preschool and kindergarten education more accessible.
At Ivybrook, we blend the best of Reggio Emilia and Montessori philosophies to create a nurturing environment where children learn through exploration, creativity, and meaningful connections.

We originally met in Jacksonville, FL and recently moved back to the area with our 2-year-old daughter and second daughter on the way! We love being outdoors at the beach, traveling, involved with our church and spending time with family and our two dogs.
Since joining Ivybrook Academy, we have loved getting to know the community within minutes from our home. Our daughter has already excelled in communication after just enrolling a few months ago and talks about school all the time. She loves her teachers and all the activities, as well as all her friends she has made along the way.
