Ivybrook Academy 5911 North Honore Avenue, Sarasota, FL 34243

"We absolutely love this Ivybrook location. Our daughter has been going to school here for a year and she has blossomed so well. Her teachers have been the best and really take time to pour into each child’s individual needs. They provide great reports on progress and the principal and owner are both very accessible. Highly recommend this school for your 2-3 year olds."

"We have had a wonderful experience at Ivybrook Academy for the past two years. Prior to relocating to the Sarasota area, we researched preschool programs and found Ivybrook through an online search. We reached out to the staff and had a few phone calls. They were incredibly helpful, responsive and kind. We enrolled our son and he began shortly after our move. He has been thriving at Ivybrook, both academically and socially, thanks to the great care and hard work the teachers and staff provide. We plan to send our younger children to Ivybrook as well and are excited to remain a part of the community!"

"Love! Last year was our first year at Ivybrook Academy and from the moment we toured the school we were all in. Now we have 2 children who attend and couldn’t be happier. All the teachers are amazing, everything is so clean, and my children are thriving."

"We’ve been at Ivybrook for two school years. The vibes were off from the beginning, and I should’ve listened to my gut. The owner and principal are terrible at communicating. I never got a phone call when my son was injured on their awful playground, but they made me sign an incident report when I picked him up. My kids never felt comfortable around the owner and principal. The only reason we stayed at this school was for the teachers. Unfortunately, this facility has a hard time keeping good teachers on staff. They wanted to transfer my son to a different pre-k classroom where we witnessed the teacher physically abusing another child. I refused to let them put my son in that class and withdrew him immediately. Again, this is my unbiased review because all the other reviews are about the owners, and not actual reviews of the experience at this school. 0 stars. Do not recommend."

"My daughter has attended Montessori and it is just what we are looking for. Excited that school is coming to the area. The owners are excellent professionals and exceptional parents. They genuinely care about the wellbeing of the kids, theirs own and others. They are heavily invested in the learning, care and growth. I have utmost respect for the Owners as I have personally witnessed them raise their own kids with care and respect."
