"We have had such a wonderful experience at Ivybrook the past two years! Our child blossomed and flourished in this environment. From the very top, with the most tender and loving attention from Kathleen Bookbinder, all the way to the teachers and employees that bring the children out to the car each day who take the time to know their names and faces. So grateful for this school!"

"Over the last almost 4 years, one of both of my kids have attended Ivybrook. We have had a truly wonderful experience. Each teacher has been attentive, communicative, and caring. Anytime I had a question or a request, the teachers and administrative staff did everything they could to help find a solution that would work for our family and within the classroom setting. It's so hard to find somewhere you trust sending your kids, but I'm thankful to Ivybrook for going above and beyond to earn that trust."

"We are having such a wonderful experience at this school. Our son started at 18 months in the Toddler classroom. I originally loved that there was no waitlist, giving everyone the equal opportunity to register on the same day and it's first-come first-served. I never could have imagined what a blessing it would have been for him to find this school. He loves going, he is always tired in a good way when I pick him up. But most importantly, I have watched his confidence and verbal / cognitive abilities absolutely explode since he started at school. One night he just counted to 10 all by himself in the bathtub and we were blown away! He plays better with kids, he is more outgoing and brave, and overall seems like he's gotten new skills in trying new things and managing his frustrations when playing. We can't wait for his baby sister to join him here next year."

"I could sing the praises of this school all day. At three, my child had never been to a structured class with other children due to covid. Ivybrook provided a safe space for her to navigate peer relationships, understand classroom rules, and work through her emotions. The instructors are kind, compassionate, and have the patience of angels. We are so thankful for Ivybrook and recommend it without hesitation."

"My family couldn't have possibly asked for more from Ivybrook. They are experts at building community and making kids feel safe, appreciated, and part of a group. I believe that they are responsible for my son's rapid growth in self-confidence, independence, and sociability, and I wish he never had to leave. To say I recommend them is a ridiculous understatement."
