Ivybrook Academy Tampa Palms

🌋 During Superhero Science Week, our Intermediate Class became scientists as they created their own lava experiment!

Hands-on experiences like these spark curiosity, encourage critical thinking, and make learning unforgettable.

✨ Summer Camp is filling quickly, and we have very limited spaces remaining. Contact us to enroll today!

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!

Inventive spelling is a powerful step in early literacy.

Using the movable alphabet, Jaden is doing far more than memorizing letters or copying words. he is learning how language works by hearing and building words sound by sound.

When he writes “kat” for cat or “iz” for is, he is listening carefully to each sound and matching those sounds to letters independently. These spelling attempts show phonetic awareness, critical thinking, and a true understanding of how words are formed.

In Montessori education, we value the process because strong readers and writers are developed through understanding language, not simply memorizing it. We love watching language come to life through hands-on learning 💚
