Ivybrook Academy, an award-winning half day pre-school that is growing rapidly across the nation, has expanded its footprint in Texas with the opening of its first campus in the Houston metro area. The newly constructed school is located at 3120 Peek Road in Katy, Texas.

Ivybrook Academy, headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, is nationally recognized for its progressive approach to early childhood education. The school’s curriculum combines time-tested teaching methods, including Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and Multiple Intelligence research. This hybrid approach toward learning provides a customized education that respects each child’s individual voice and instills a life-long love of learning at a young age.

Ivybrook Academy Katy owners Iyingiere and Dama Ziworitin are very excited to debut the progressive way of learning to the area. “We are thrilled to share Ivybrook’s unique curriculum with families who live and work in Katy,” says Iyingiere. “As parents of two children, we strongly believe that the early years’ experiences are the core foundation of a child’s future.”

Charity Oglesby-Barnard serves as principal of the Katy campus. She has worked as an early childhood educator for more than 20 years. “I’m a firm believer that every child has the right to a proper education and that all teachers are the unsung heroes of our society,” says Oglesby-Barnard. “I thoroughly enjoy working with our students every day, and I look forward to watching each of them flourish as young learners.”

Ivybrook Academy co-founder and CEO Drew McWilliams says the brand is excited to expand its presence in Texas. “Katy is such a family-oriented community, and we’re thrilled to introduce Ivybrook to families in Houston metro,” says McWilliams. “Our mission is to deliver Ivybrook’s progressive approach to early childhood education to the entire country. Opening our first Houston area location is a big step in making that dream a reality.”

Ivybrook Academy Katy offers half day classes to students aged 18 months through pre-kindergarten and is currently scheduling private tours of the brand new Montessori/Reggio inspired campus. You can visit the campus website to schedule a visit or call 281-909-4411 to schedule your tour today.
