Reviews
"Our daughter started at IFA at the beginning of the school year and is absolutely thriving! I have been very interested in the forest school concept over the past year, so finding IFA was a dream! She is not only learning through play, but she has also come home knowing more about letters and numbers than she did at her previous, traditional preschool. The staff is wonderful, and our daughter gets so excited to go to school!"
"We went from a full day daycare/school to IFA for our preschooler. He was not enjoying his old school and would ask every night if it’s school in the morning before being sad and disappointed and sometimes even crying. The switch was scary (for me) but I’m so glad we did it. He loves it here, the teachers are highly qualified, kind, patient, and the communication is very good. I got more pictures of my child engaging in activities and having fun in a week at IFA than I did in 4 years at the old school. When I have a concern or question it’s answered right away. My son gets to learn as a child should, exploring and learning by play. He also gets experiences here that he wouldn’t be able to get at a traditional daycare/school such as learning about gardening and outdoor safety."
"Our family has been with IFA since conception. Miranda is absolute amazing and strives for everything to be about the students! She will climb mountains for the best interest of the families and the academy. The teachers have been awesome and my Grandson and my niece have thrived since starting there. They love being outside and experiencing nature. It's been fun watching their growth but the school and the students! The Academy has big goals and they are well needed in our area. I highly recommend this academy."
"We love nature school! The ability to learn and explore in an outdoor classroom is a perfect fit for my little. The growth I've seen in my child in just the past few months has been amazing to watch."
