From the first moment I spoke with the owner Carolyn, I fell in love with Ivybrook! Their curriculum is incredible and one of the most important things I wanted is communication and their communication is fantastic. Also they have done some amazing “little” activities to get your child excited and ready for the new school year! My daughter has even received a few surprises in the mail specifically addressed to her. We are so ready to start the school year! ----- Author: Kelli Iafrate Rating: 5/5 Date: 5/1/2021, 2:45:06 PM Review: I’m so excited for my 3-year-old son to start school here in the fall! I knew I wanted him to start in a part-time setting to get used to having structure but also the openness to learn in his way, and he will get exactly that with their unique curriculum! Carolyn, the school director, has been so helpful answering my many questions and already making us feel so welcome into the Ivybrook family! ----- Author: Gabi B Rating: 5/5 Date: 4/30/2021, 1:05:29 PM Review: I was beyond excited to find a Reggio and Montessori based preschool coming to the area! I’ve been touring preschools for a couple years and Ivybrook Academy is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Ivybrook has a wonderful blended curriculum, small class sizes, and most importantly focused on each individual child! Since the beginning, Director Mrs. Carolyn, has has gone above and beyond! She is very communicative and truly cares for the children/families! Overall, I’ve had a great experience thus far and excited to be a part of the Ivybrook family!

My son loves his new school! Teachers are friendly and knowledgeable, they see individuality in each kid and help to adjust. Ms Carolyn, Ms Samantha and Ms Danielle and all staff members are amazing! Thank you for your great work!
Absolutely love this school! My son had a very hard time with being away from me and going to school on his own and this was really rough on me but Carolyn and her amazing staff of loving and experienced teachers helped us both through the transition. Now my son is thriving there and is so excited to tell me about his days at school. There is so much communication and guidance of what our kids are learning every week. After talking to other moms who’s kids attend other schools I realized that Ivybrook really goes above and beyond with this. I can’t recommend this school enough. It’s beautiful and small, and just awesome. Love it so much that we moved to Nocatee and will be making the drive to continue going here.

We absolutely love Ivybrook Academy! The entire staff is amazing, communicative, caring and so loving to all of the kiddos! Our son is so excited to come here everyday and is full of smiles and stories about his day every time I pick him up!
Ivybrook is the place where your children can learn and socialize in a respectful way, where every morning they receive the children with a smile and the teachers are always ready to support the kids with love and patience.
Not that I would be biased because I am one of the 3's teachers , but this is one of the BEST places I know! I love everyone on the staff and we are blessed to be able to have such great children and families apart of our school. Ivybrook is a great program to enroll in to kickstart learning at young age, growing brains retain so much and catch on so fast that it is amazing to see how much these kids learn everyday!
Such a wonderful place for teachers, students and families! Something so unique and special here in St. Johns County. Best half-day preschool by far!
When it came time for my 4 year old to start pre-k I was lost about where to even begin. I wanted to find a school that celebrated his presence, challenged him enough to stay interested in daily activities, and genuinely fostered intellectual growth. I wholeheartedly feel we found exactly that at Ivybrook Academy. The staff is positively nurturing and committed to the overall development of the child. There is consistent communication happening with administrators so you always know what is happening with your child, in your child’s class, and at the school as a whole. The measures taken for safety and security of the campus and the children is second to none, and you even get to see photo updates of the activities your child is participating in on the student hub app. This school is an absolute gem, and we’re so thankful for the opportunity to play, learn, and grow here!
