Ivybrook Academy Wilmington

After reading The Marshmallow Incident, our Storybook STEAM builders put their creativity and problem-solving skills to work! Using marshmallows and toothpicks, students explored structure, balance, and design while bringing a sweet story connection to life. We love watching literacy spark hands-on learning! 📚✨

Summer should be fun, but it should also keep your child learning! ☀️

When routines disappear over the summer, children often lose ground in focus, self-regulation, and social confidence.

Our camps are built for children ages 2 to 6, using the same blended Montessori and Reggio Emilia approach that families trust during the school year.

Your child gets hands-on STEAM, creative art, time with friends, and a consistent rhythm that carries them into fall ready and confident.

Our little explorers went wild for Jungle Week! 🌿🐘

Through hands-on discovery and imaginative play, the children brought the jungle to life in so many creative ways. They painted with nature, designed jungle hats, created their own jungle floor, and worked together to help animals cross the river—all while exploring the wonders of the rainforest through curiosity, problem-solving, and play.

What a joyful week of wild learning! 🐆🌴

Sunshine, fresh air, and endless opportunities to explore. ☀️🌿

Outdoor play is such an important part of early childhood. It gives children space to move their bodies, build confidence, use their imaginations, take healthy risks, and connect with the world around them. Whether they are running, climbing, digging, building, or simply laughing with friends, they are learning through every moment of play.

Summer camp days are made for this. 💛

It’s not too late to join us for the next school year! 🌿

Enrollment is still open for the 2026–2027 school year, and we would love to welcome your family to Ivybrook Academy. Our classes are full of meaningful play, hands-on discovery, and joyful learning experiences designed to help children grow with confidence and curiosity.
