About Ivy Prep Learning Center

Childcare with an Educational Focus

Ivy Prep Learning Center is an exclusive, high-quality early education program dedicated to nurturing young minds and preparing lifelong learners. We provide a warm, home-like environment where education is at the heart of everything we do.


Our curriculum blends academic excellence with joyful exploration—rooted in play, science, literature, experimentation, and the arts. We believe that fostering a love of learning early in life lays the foundation for future success. With small class sizes, advanced curriculum, and low student-to-teacher ratios, we are able to provide individualized attention and meet the unique developmental and academic needs of each child.

Children at Ivy Prep engage in thoughtfully planned activities that promote literacy, math, science, art, music, creative movement, social-emotional development, dramatic play, and problem-solving. They are read to daily and immersed in rich, meaningful experiences that support growth across all domains. As a result, our students consistently meet and exceed developmental milestones.  Upon completion of our program, most of our students have an I.Q. in the above to superior range and exceed expectations when they begin kindergarten. Our students enter kindergarten confident, capable, and ahead of the curve.

Our Mission

To provide a nurturing, creative, and enriching environment where young children are thoughtfully guided, warmly encouraged, and inspired to love learning from the very beginning. Each child is supported to grow confidently and reach their greatest potential.

Our Approach to Learning

Students at Ivy Prep are bright, curious, thoughtful, inspired, and full of wonder. From conducting science experiments to studying master artists, our curriculum is designed to honor their interests and ignite their imaginations. Lessons are crafted with intention, integrating core academic skills with joyful, purposeful play.


Whether your child is discovering letters, building friendships, or exploring the world around them, they are building the habits of thought and heart that will carry them far beyond preschool.

Classrooms

Infant / Toddler Rooms

Infant / Toddler Rooms

Infant / Toddler Rooms

The infant / toddler program, ages 2 months to 24 months, will allow parents to leave their baby in a home-like environment with loving attentive teachers.  With the center’s convenient location, parents are also able to come in for feedings and /or visits as often as they would like.  Limited enrollment provides more individualized care, which is vital at this age.

2-3 Year Old Rooms

Infant / Toddler Rooms

Infant / Toddler Rooms

This is the age when children are learning to socialize, fantasize, and explore.  The hands-on curriculum is designed to stimulate their imagination and curiosity.  It provides strong educational opportunities for young minds to learn new concepts.  The children will also have ample opportunity to interact, create, and develop their independence at the various stations each day.

Pre-K Rooms

Pre-K Rooms

At Ivy Prep we provide kindergarten readiness skills to the children by teaching letters, sounds, numbers, pre-reading skills, and pre-writing skills.  Children will also have ample opportunities to interact at various stations each day where they can develop their creativity, problem solving abilities, fine and gross motor skills, and socialization. The students at Ivy Prep are inspired to develop a love for learning. A majority of the pre-k students at Ivy Prep are reading prior to graduation.
