Ivybrook Academy

We are so grateful for Ivybrook Academy at Valley Ridge. Moving to a new state was a huge transition for our family, and finding a preschool where our daughter felt safe, loved, and excited to go every day made all the difference. From the moment we joined, every teacher and staff member has treated her like she truly matters. She wakes up excited to go to school each morning, and it’s clear how much love and care goes into everything they do. One of the things we love most is how much effort the school puts into creating memorable experiences for the children and their families. From the beautiful Art Show and the Authors Showcase to the sweet Mother’s Day Moments with Mom celebration and the fun-filled Spring Festival, every event is thoughtfully planned and makes the children feel so proud and celebrated. These aren’t just school activities—they’re memories our family will cherish. What has impressed us most is that their care extends far beyond the school day. The staff has checked in on our family after hours and even on weekends, simply because they genuinely care about the children and their well-being. That level of compassion is incredibly rare. Every child is made to feel special, seen, and valued, and as a parent, there is no greater comfort than knowing your child is so deeply cared for. Ivybrook Academy hasn’t just provided our daughter with a wonderful preschool experience—it helped our entire family feel at home during a major life transition. We will always be thankful for this incredible community.

Where to begin...Ivybrook has been the best place for our daughter to start her school experience. Ms. Stacy as her 3's teacher was a dream - supportive in every way possible, from speech to potty training. The administrative side, Ms. Jennifer and Ms. Amanda are also wonderful to work with. The whole school runs as a well-oiled machine and everyone works together as a team. We cannot wait to come back for VPK later this month!

we love Ivybrook! My daughter thrives there and always looks forward to going to school and camp. We are going into our 3rd year there and couldn’t be happier. The staff have always been incredibly accommodating and my daughter loves her teachers. My husband and I are both working parents and the enrichment program has been a life saver for our family lifestyle. I will never get over how much my daughter has grown socially and academically since attending at Ivybrook. We are very grateful to have found a safe space that we trust!
