Ivybrook Academy

Ivybrook has been such a gift to our family. Their beautiful blend of Montessori and Reggio Emilia creates an environment where curiosity, independence, and creativity truly flourish. The leadership is warm and inviting, and from day one, we’ve felt like family.

Ivybrook Franklin is such a special place to our family. All 3 of our kids have been through these doors, and each of them has been cared for, encouraged, loved on and truly seen by each of the teachers and administrators here. Everyone is so kind and fun, and the curriculum is awesome. Our eldest was beyond prepared for Kindergarten after her time here because of all she had learned at Ivybrook! You'd be hard pressed to find a more caring, trustworthy, encouraging and fun learning environment for your little one(s)!

We absolutely love Ivybrook Academy Franklin! We have been attending for 2 years now and have had a fabulous experience. The teachers, staff, and administration are all very involved and excellent. I love how everyone works together and communicates with the family to make sure the students are having a positive experience. I also really enjoy the 8-12am preschool time. My child was not ready to do full day preschool with naps so the time is perfect. We are thrilled to be attending again next year! Couldn't recommend more.

All three of our girls have attended Ivybrook and our family has had the best experience! Our oldest was there for three years before kindergarten and loved her time there. She was academically prepared for kindergarten, but more importantly had a great foundation for life skills and created sweet friendships. Our younger two are in their second year at Ivybrook and look forward to school every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. They are constantly introduced to new experiences and subjects and it is so fun to see them thrive. Ivybrook is truly like family and we are so thankful for the staff and teachers. Our girls’ preschool experience has been more than we could’ve hoped for thanks to Ivybrook!

I cannot speak enough good about Ivybrook and its entire community. I am always quick to refer neighbors, friends, and now family members who have littles getting close to school age to Ivybrook. We started our son, our first and only child, at Ivybrook in their early 2s program, which was a HUGE adjustment and terrifying for him as well as myself and husband. When we walked out after his first drop off I had tears in my eyes and the Principal stopped me, encouraged me, and ensured they’d take the best care of him! She even called me shortly after to let me know my son was settling in great! He is currently in their Pre-K class, thriving, and has been wholeheartedly cared for ever since! The staff’s genuine care, interest in your child and their interests, and involvement in each and every moment throughout the day and year is unmatched. Not only does the all the staff know my son, his lovie Dot, and his love for vehicles and stuffed snakes, they know me, my husband, and my parents as Pops and ChiChi…and I can’t forget our dogs, they know them by name too! I feel so confident in the staff and LOVE the learning environment they provide for my son and all the children there. Ivybrook is a tiny treasure; it is a place of positivity, encouragement, growth, fun, and FUN LEARNING! My son has grown so much both academically and socially. It has been such a special thing to watch and we are so grateful to everyone at Ivybrook for giving our little guy everything they have each day and for making his preschool experience everything I could’ve hoped for!
