Ivybrook Academy Powell

The Reggio Emilia approach starts with one belief: children are competent, capable, and curious learners.

This approach supports early childhood development through projects, collaboration, documentation, and a thoughtfully designed environment that deepens learning.

As part of our blended curriculum, Reggio looks like:

‣ Group projects that build collaboration, communication, and shared problem-solving

‣ Parent and community involvement woven into the learning experience

‣ Extensive documentation of the learning process, displayed at child-height and shared with families

When children are given the respect and space to explore their ideas, there is no limit to what they can discover.

Keep their routine going this summer! ☀️

Don't let the summer slide disrupt your child's focus, routines, and social confidence!

Our preschool summer camps are specifically designed for the developmental needs of children ages 2-6.

By blending the independence of Montessori with the collaborative discovery of Reggio Emilia, we keep young minds engaged all summer long.

Your child will enjoy hands-on STEAM learning, creative art, and joyful socialization, all while having fun!

🎓✨ To Our Graduates ✨🎓

We are so proud of each and every one of our graduates and all they have accomplished during their time with us.

Wherever their next journey takes them, we hope they continue to be curious, kind, confident, and brave. Never stop asking questions, dreaming big, and believing in yourselves.

Congratulations, graduates! We will always be cheering you on and carrying these precious memories in our hearts. 🤍

Dates to remember ✨

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.
