Ivybrook Academy Ann Arbor

Their routine doesn't have to end just because school did. ☀️

The summer slide is real. Without structured learning, children can lose momentum in focus, social confidence, and the daily rhythm that supports their development.

Our preschool summer camps are designed specifically for children ages 2 to 6.

Through our blended Montessori and Reggio Emilia approach, your child stays engaged with hands-on STEAM, creative art, outdoor exploration, and the kind of meaningful social interaction that builds real friendships.

Same philosophy. Same intentional learning.

Painter. Engineer. World traveler.

This summer, your preschooler gets to be all three!

At our summer camps, you can expect:

☀️ Weekly themes built around STEAM, literacy, global culture, and outdoor exploration to balance excitement with meaningful educational experiences.

☀️ Every lesson and activity is tailored to meet the developmental needs of each age group

☀️ Real friendships, real outdoor time, and a routine that prevents the summer slide

Summer is starting! Don't miss an unforgettable summer of discovery, creativity, and hands-on fun.

When parents think about kindergarten readiness, they often think about letters, numbers, and early literacy skills. While those skills certainly matter, research consistently shows that social-emotional development is equally predictive of long-term academic success.

At Ivybrook Academy, social-emotional learning is not a separate subject on the schedule. It's in everything we do. Group projects, collaborative play, and guided conflict resolution all give children daily practice in empathy, self-regulation, and communication.

By the time our students leave Ivybrook, they are academically and emotionally prepared for what comes next.

This summer, your child can discover their inner artist!

A week of summer camp at Ivybrook can look like:

🎨 Painting to the rhythm of music and letting the beat guide the brush
🧲 Using magnets to create art
🌻 Learning to paint like Van Gogh and Monet

It is expressive, imaginative, and rooted in the belief that every child has an artist inside them.

Summer is almost here – register your child for a summer of creativity!

Up until this point, you've been your child’s only teacher.

You've guided their first steps, cheered for their first words, and patiently answered their endless questions. Sharing that role for the very first time is a significant moment for both you and your child.

Our classrooms are designed to be a natural extension of the warmth and security of home, giving children the space to explore the world with independence and confidence while giving parents the peace of mind that comes from knowing their child is truly seen.

🌸Save the DATE for our Annual Spring Fun Fest at Ivybrook Academy Ann Arbor, Thursday, June 4th, 5-7pm.

The summer slide is real, and it starts earlier than most parents expect.

Research shows that children can lose up to two months of learning over the summer without continued engagement.

We keep young minds active and curious all summer long through hands-on projects, themed weekly sessions, and the same blended Montessori and Reggio Emilia approach that families trust during the school year.

Learning doesn't have to stop when the school year does!
