Ivy Prep is located on Belcher Road, between East Bay Drive and Belleair Road. Ivy Prep is the first driveway south of Belleair Road. It is the two-story green house that sits back from the road. 

The waiting list varies for each classroom, the children are grouped on the waiting list by their date of birth.

When an opening comes available we go down the waiting list for that age group. At that point, the first family from the waiting list that e-mails their registration, will receive the spot.

Tours are given Monday - Friday, 7:00am - 6:00pm. No appointment is necessary for a tour.

Please feel free to use the emergency number on the voicemail, this is the director’s cell phone, (727) 641-0929. Upon enrollment, each family is also given the cell phone number to their child’s teacher.
