Our Approach to Early Childhood Education
Ivybrook Academy of Winston-Salem honors and values children’s voices and celebrates their uniqueness. We do so by creating and implementing learning plans that are developed based on observations of the child. The world around them provides ample opportunity for exploration, so we use the physical environment to stimulate and engage them.
We offer the following curriculum:
- Toddler Preschool
- Preschool for 2-year-olds
- Preschool for 3-year-olds
- Preschool for 4-year-olds
- Transitional Kindergarten program
Our Winston-Salem Preschool also offers Summer Camp, a summer program with fun themes that are designed to help children learn while also having fun. Contact our campus to learn more about this program and the rest of our curriculum.

Are There Opportunities for Parents to Get Involved?
At Ivybrook Academy, we believe that education is a partnership between home and school. We encourage parental involvement through regular updates and parent-teacher meetings. This collaboration ensures that parents are active participants in their child's learning journey, helping to reinforce the educational values and goals we strive to achieve in the classroom.
Beyond meetings, parents are invited to participate in classroom activities and community events, fostering a stronger bond between families and the educational environment.
