How long is the waiting list and how does it work?
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 and email an invitation to enroll. At that point, the first family from the waiting list that responds to the email by registering will receive the spot.
When are tours given at Ivy Prep?
Tours are given Monday - Friday, 7:00am - 6:00pm. No appointment is necessary for a tour.
If I have an emergency, how do I quickly reach my child’s teacher?
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.
Why does Ivy Prep require all students to have their immunizations?
At Ivy Prep we have infants that are just beginning to receive their immunizations. To help insure these infants remain healthy, we require immunizations of all children at Ivy Prep. We appreciate and understand that some families prefer to not partake in immunizations and we would be happy to help you find a school that does not follow this policy.
What are the withdrawal requirements?
We realize at times, families need to withdraw their children for job relocation, financial reasons, etc. For withdrawal, we require 2 months written notification, as this allows us to continue to provide quality education and care, while we fill the vacant spot.
Volunteer at Ivy Prep
Many of our former students return to Ivy Prep as volunteers. Some of our volunteers have earned hours toward National Honor Society requirements, college scholarships, and Bright Futures awards.
To volunteer at Ivy Prep, students must be at least 13 years old. They must be kind, patient, and have a genuine love for working with children. If you meet these qualities and would like to volunteer, we’d love to hear from you!
