Ivybrook Academy, an award-winning half day pre-school experiencing continued growth throughout the United States, is opening soon in Flower Mound, Texas, a community located about 20 miles northwest of Dallas. Ivybrook Academy Flower Mound looks forward to opening its doors to students and families in August of 2022.

Ivybrook Academy, based in the Charlotte, North Carolina area, is recognized for its multi-faceted approach to early childhood education. It combines elements of Montessori and Reggio Emilia education with Multiple Intelligence Research, crafting a balanced curriculum with emphasis on creating a continuous cycle of learning, designed to reflect a child’s interests and needs.

“There is nothing like this in the North Texas area,” says Scott Smith, who co-owns the new Flower Mound location with his wife, Julie. “We really see a need for this type of program here. We want young families to see what a difference Ivybrook Academy will make in their child’s educational career. This program really prepares a child. Starting them off with a strong foundation will set them up for long-term success.”

Parents themselves, Julie and Scott wish their 5-year-old son, Eli, could have benefited from the progressive curriculum at Ivybrook. “I come from a family of educators and understand the advantages of early education,” says Julie. Ivybrook has a strong track record, giving children the respect they deserve as they observe and soak in the world around them. The blended curriculum of Montessori and Reggio Emilia creates an inviting method of engagement for these young minds to be encouraged to learn.”

The Smiths are both professionals who work in software business strategies. Julie and Scott are reflective of the trend in the North Dallas area regarding the growing number of professionals who are choosing to work remotely. Scott says this is precisely why their Flower Mound Ivybrook location is ideal for families, “This pre-school is not only a great way for children to be exposed to socialization but parents too. We are helping families connect by building a community here. Family is an integral part of Ivybrook.”

Scott and Julie are encouraging local families to take a closer look at Ivybrook Academy. Julie says she was hooked after just one look. “The first time we experienced Ivybrook, I definitely had an aha moment,” she explains. “The atmosphere is amazing. You will see children working and learning together. They are engaged and having fun.”

Ivybrook Academy Flower Mound is located at 3901 Long Prairie Road, Suite 601. Enrollment for fall half day classes is underway. To learn more about the curriculum, go to https://ivybrookacademy.com/ivybrook-academy-flower-mound-tx/.

We look forward to welcoming young learners to the new Flower Mound campus in the coming months.”
