My son really loves it here & the teacher is amazing!

We just moved to St Augustine in Florida and my little one is super shy. I was so worried about making sure he had a place where he could grow, thrive and develop the confidence in his new environment to come out of his shell. I’m happy to say that he now walks into Ivybrook with a confident smile and comes out talking nonstop about his day at school. Wonderful experience so far, and everyone from admin to my son’s teacher is so kind, supportive, helpful and communicative.

Ivybrook Academy is an excellent half day preschool for littles! The campus is safe, the school is clean, the environment is calm while still having lots of fun and engaging activities designed for young learners. The teachers and administrators are exceptional, they work so hard to make a child’s first school experience a great one! The absolute best part is how much our daughter looks forward to going to school every day! We love being a part of the Ivybrook community and can’t recommend this school enough!

We love Ivybrook. The creativity and special activities they do each week is great. The classrooms are beautiful and the playground is perfect. We are very happy to have our 2year old son there for half days. It’s the perfect amount of time for us.

We are so thankful for the friendly and kind teachers and staff at Ivybrook Academy Valley Ridge. Our twin boys enjoy the activities and playtime with their classmates. The school is very clean, organized, and welcoming! Definitely recommend Ivybrook Academy!

I cannot say enough good things about Ivybrook academy. It’s very hard when your little one starts school for the first time and everyone was absolutely amazing with the transition. When my 2 year old started he had a very hard time getting acclimated and the staff was so understanding and did anything we needed to make us feel comfortable and ease our anxiety. Now he absolutely loves school and I can leave him knowing he is in the best hands. The staff is willing to do anything to help your little one succeed. They put in a lot of effort to plan events to Include family which is really important to me. Everyone is so warm and friendly. I highly recommend Ivybrook!

Ivybrook Academy has been such a wonderful and welcoming place for our family! From the moment we enrolled our son in the M-F 3-year-old classroom, we felt at home. The entire staff is incredibly warm, nurturing, and dedicated to each child's growth, and his teachers have been nothing short of amazing. They pour so much love and care into their work, making every day a joyful learning experience. Our son has truly flourished, gaining confidence, social skills, and a love for learning that will prepare him beautifully for VPK, Kindergarten, and beyond. We couldn’t have asked for a better half-day program—it's the perfect balance of structured learning and play, fostering curiosity in a safe and loving environment. The communication from the school is fantastic, and it’s clear they are deeply invested in every child's success. We are so grateful for the impact they have had on our son’s early education journey!

In the past 3 years, both of my kids have attended Ivybrook Julington Creek. This year I recently switched my daughter over to the newly opened Ivybrook Valley Ridge, due to the proximity to my house. I am amazed the same values and comfortable feeling transferred over to the new location as well. They were able to find such caring and compassionate teachers to fill the new school. My daughter is so happy there! She’s growing and thriving everyday and always learning new things. The Ivybrook educational environment can’t be beat. I could not recommend this school more from academics, environment, to staff everything is top notch!

We love Ivybrook Academy! This is the first school our daughter attends alone and the staff always makes her feel safe and loved. Ms Maegan and Ms Taylor are wonderful in the 2’s class and they update us each week with lessons and activities the students will complete. We highly recommend Ivybrook Academy Valley Ridge because of the great experience and wonderful staff!
